(Reuters) - Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky still maintains he is innocent of sexually abusing children, remains determined to clear his name and insists that he has always been faithful to his wife, Dottie, his defense lawyer said on Monday.

"The main reason is he wants the public to know he's not guilty, but the most important reason is he wants to maintain his innocence for his family's sake," Rominger told Reuters. "He really feels that (the conviction) is an insult to his wife, who he has loved and been faithful to all these years."

"Jerry said to me that he was looking forward to being evaluated by the psychiatrist because he was going stir crazy sitting in that holding cell by himself and just needed to get a chance to get out and see family," Rominger said.

"He lost some of his energy, but we still share a joke or two about a few unrelated things, inside jokes basically. He's still capable of a little bit of humor. He told me he's been thankful for the companionship of the guards who've been supervising him because otherwise he'd have no one to talk to."

Jerry Sandusky wants out of isolation in jail
<snip>
"He's anxious to be able to move around," Rominger said. "His exact quote to me, 'I don’t think I’m suicidal. I’m dealing with this, but if I have to sit around in this cell for a few more days, I am going to go nutty.' ”

In general population, Rominger said, Sandusky would be on a block with only a few other inmates.
