Sandusky's attorney expects him to be convicted on some counts
By M. Alex Johnson, msnbc.com, and Kimberly Kaplan, NBC News
Updated at 7:04 p.m. ET: BELLEFONTE, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky's attorney said Friday that he expects his client to be convicted on some of the 48 child sexual abuse counts against him.
"I would die of a heart attack — shocked — if he was acquitted on all of the charges," Joseph Amendola, the head of Sandusky's defense team, told reporters in Centre County Court.
"It is just statistically unlikely," he said.

Amendola spoke to reporters for a few minutes inside the courthouse before a court official cut him off. Judge John Cleland has issued a gag order prohibiting participants from making public statements "regarding the Defendant's guilt or innocence".
