Wait! Whut?! Judge's instructions to Sandusky jury (unbelieveable)

[onenote]

116. Here's a clue for you. You still don't know what you're talking about

As has been explained here several times, Sandusksy has been charged with multiple offenses -- over 50 initially. Some involve activity that is presumptively sexual in nature: Oral/genital contact and intercourse for example. Others are lesser offenses, such as "corrupting a minor" or indecent contact. Each offense has its own set of instructions. The terms of the instructions are dictated by law, not the whim of the judge. You want to get a reversal in a criminal case -- have a judge give an instruction that leaves out an element of the offense. I'm willing to bet that the instruction about sexual desire being an element of an offense has nothing to do with the crimes Sandusky has been charged with for engaging in oral sex. It probably has everything to do with lesser offenses, such as corrupting a minor or indecent contact where sexual desire is a formal element of the crime and cannot be ignored by the judge or presumed by a jury.

But hey, it was on twitter and must be accurate, right?
