I don't like this: "Mrs Sandusky, 68, attempted to call one of the victims in the weeks leading up to his testimony...."
Is a tampering with a witness possible??

Why did Jerry Sandusky's wife call abuse victim weeks before his testimony and how much did Dorothy and six adopted children know about Penn State 'paedophile?
Jerry Sandusky’s wife has been largely absent from the analysis of who knew what about her husband’s alleged sexual abuse of eight boys over a 15-year period.
But Dorothy 'Dottie' Gross Sandusky does make an appearance in the 23-page Grand Jury indictment which graphically details the charges against the 67-year-old former Penn State coach. She left a message on Victim 7's phone saying the matter was 'very important' but the man, who told the Grand Jury that as a ten-year-old in 1994, Sandusky hugged and inappropriately touched him, did not return the call.
Part of that alleged abuse took place in the Sandusky family’s State College, Pennsylvania, home, in which Dorothy and her husband raised their six adopted children. Sandusky claimed he and his wife could not have any of their own.

Jerry Sandusky's home
Over the years the couple became the parents to:
Ray, now 46, a businessman living in Nashville,
EJ, 41, former Nittany Lions player, and now a football coach at West Chester University,
Kara, 38, a Penn State graduate,
Jeff, 35, a former Marine,
33-year-old Matt( the adopted son who's wife is trying to get legal papers to keep their kid's away from Sandusky), a Penn State graduate
Jon, who is Director of Player Personnel for the Cleveland Browns.
Quite how much any of them knew about the sexual abuse, which occurred between 1994 and 2009 with a number of incidents at the family home, is now under scrutiny.

Neither Dorothy Sandusky nor any of her adopted children have yet made a statement on the scandal. Authorities say Jerry Sandusky's home in State College, Pennsylvania, was one of the places he sexually abused several boy
{SNIP}
The Grand Jury indictment states that Sandusky selected his young victims from the 'Second Mile', a charity he started in 1977....Mrs Sandusky helped out with the running of the programme.
'After we had taken in some foster children, we saw the opportunities that some kids just hadn't had,' Mrs Sandusky told Sports Illustrated in 1982. 'But we'd gotten to the point where we couldn't take in anymore, so Jerry started thinking about starting a group home.'
{SNIP}
'Whether Mrs Sandusky was worried by any such behaviour is not yet known. What is established is that she has been by Sandusky’s side since the mid-1960s, when they married.
Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, she had met Sandusky in Washington a few years before. He endearingly called his wife 'Sarge,' because she was in charge in their home.The shocking Grand Jury indictment makes repeated accusations that victims were abused inside the couple’s home.
Phone records also confirm that Sandusky made 61 phone calls from his home phone to Victim 1's home phone between January 2008 and July 2009.
{SNIP}
Despite these actions, there is no suggestion whatsoever in the indictment that Mrs Sandusky was aware of her husband's sexual relations with Victim 1 or any of the other seven victims. Experts have suggested that she and her children could well have been kept in the dark.
'[Abusers are] very good at hiding it from everyone,' clinical social worker Farlie Chastain told WRCB TV. 'Very good at seducing the child and manipulating the child not to tell.' ....However, Chastain, adds: 'I've seen it both ways, in which the family knows and is in denial.'
Meanwhile State College police have reported that someone threw two cinder blocks through a bedroom window at Sandusky’s house on Thursday night.
The news came as it emerged that the accused child rapist, who is out on bail, lives close to an elementary school and playground."
