AP reports: The depiction of Jerry Sandusky on a well-known mural across the street from the Penn State campus has been replaced by an image of a poet and activist draped with a blue ribbon - a symbol for awareness of child sexual abuse.
Also replacing Sandusky were two red handprints - one belonging to Ann Van Kuren, one of the 12 jurors who convicted Sandusky, and the other belonging to a sexual abuse victim. Continue reading the full story.

Well, that's swell, but they left Joe Paterno up there, and in my book he was as culpable as Sandusky. Had he lived he might have been in court for aiding and abetting.
"a junior coach today turned himself in after confessing to killing coach Sandusky,no motive given" or"No word as to why Joe Paterno confessed to killing his longtime coach staff" THAT'S what we should've heard about this
From Penn State to State Pen....perfect
And I agree about Paterno.....Within days after the story broke.....he put all his assets in his wife's name.....
And yet the world still idolizes Charlie Chaplain, even though he, too, was a pedophile. Get a big enough name and you, too, can overcome any unsavory part of your legacy!
As we move forward, the mural will eventually lose many other faces, as all of the people who knew that Mr. Sandusky was a pedophile, are "exposed" so to speak.
