In this episode, author Mark Pendergrast joins Zach Rhoads to discuss his book about Jerry Sandusky. Is it possible that Sandusky is innocent? Zach is skeptical, but keenly aware that the author is far from fringe in the scientific community-- in fact, check out reviews of Mark Pendergrast books here:

On The Social Exchange, free speech and rational inquiry always wins.
Highly interesting interview, thank you!
Question for Mark Pendergrast.
Why was Jerry framed?
Who brnefitted from this?
Who had/has the power to cover it up?
For what reason was this henious thing done???
Lawyers promised money..... I live in state college, was around these lawyers, the lawyers are now rich and famous with their names being associated with this case. I am TRULY torn with whether or not he was guilty or not.the number one thing that bothers me is that from my research, the lawyers approached HUNDREDS OF PLAYERS ....the players didn't approach the lawyers.
@@nettieoliver3294 wtf r u talking about ... he's not accused of doing anything to a player of his.. listen a janitor seen him, he admitted in 98 and said he would stop showering with kids ... but didn't! his own kid flipped on him... what would motivate any of these ppl?
@@shoptalk7415 Look a little bit deeper into the janitor (James Calhoun).
@@justintheodorou Care to elaborate on that?
This is just a Alex Jones type conspiracy theory. Sandusky is guilty as are the men who covered for him.
DAMAGE CONTROL !!! From attorney for a new TRIAL !!!
I'm not buying it-
It's very easy to see that
this man is here to only
defend sandusky.
Agree. A bit too much of the “false memory” koolaid.
He’d made up his mind before writing the book and couldn’t pull back from the brink.
His book “Memory Warp” is excellent. This was supposed to pull from those concepts and he makes good points that force explanation.
But part of the book gets into “I’m just asking questions here” and I can’t sign onto the conclusion by a long shot.
No, Mr. Pendergrast is here to only defend the truth, and the truth just happens to fall on Jerry Sandusky's side. Mr. Pendergrast did not even know Mr. Sandusky before all of this started. Mr. Pendergrast explains in the video and in his book how this case fell into his lap-- a lady contacted Mr. Pendergrast about the pseudoscience of "repressed memory"...
Lawyer money , they all became millionaires every single victim
I'm sure the defense attorneys made out pretty well themselves
The worst thing about this, now the son is SA, the turd! Great content and you made a subscriber.
Mark didn't talk about his own issues with his children claiming CSA?
He didn’t. Actually, I didn’t know about it at the time. Otherwise I would have asked- not to be insensitive, but to have him explicate what he believes is a fallacy of science.
@@thesocialexchangepodcast3022 It shows I believe a great bias in his work. Pendergast is not a psychologist or child abuse expert. He wrote this I think because of his perceived injustice regarding his own issues with his children. His motives are suspicious and I think that colors his book. There is a good review on Amazon refuting much of his narrative. Lots of Penn State cultists have latched onto him including the disgraced and jailed Graham Spanier.
Ok so I am calling the cops on everyone in the comments.
😂
Please ! Showering with children isnt normal.
!
It’s been a long time since this conversation.
At the time I wanted to allow people with unpopular opinions to air their opinions free of moral judgement (not free of logical disagreements of course).
So I tried giving him space- BUT I remember feeling compelled to respond to this bit. I did didn’t I?
I’m 70. In my High School the athletes and coaches showered together after practices in a common shower. That was common all through the 1960’s.
@@davidamble5375 same in the 80s
Dear Lord, this dude ain't helping Sandusky at all. He's just digging a deeper hole. Making the kind of arguments a teenager would make. Immaturely painting Sandusky as one dimensional good guy, --- "Only missionary style sex", Mr. Straight Laced, "My wife is the only person I've ever had sex with"....If your vibe reader and BS detector ain't telling you this guy is failing in his attempts to exonerate an obvious and convicted pedophile, then you have no intuition.
I feel this way.
@@thesocialexchangepodcast3022 Which way?
Wrongful convictions are very common. You fail to look past the obvious, and when you do this, you are not being honest. I will make up my mind after I read his book: "The Most Hated Man in America: Jerry Sandusky and the Rush to Judgment by Mark Pendergrast, Charlie Weirauch III, et al."
This guy is nuts as he seems to be defending Sandusky for what he did. Sexual abuse is difficult to prove, but how do you explain away all of these many different people, most who hadn't met each other, who all saw things that most of us would be in utter shock seeing? Maybe there was no actual penetration seen in the locker room, but a grown naked man standing behind a naked ten year old boy, with this boy's hands up against the wall, isn't anything I'd find normal. Showering with kids that aren't yours isnt normal either, but he and his accomplice wife defend this. This guy here even talks about how Sandusky hung around the YMCA and the men and boys showered together. Well, gee! I find this statement to be out of place and just strengthens the case against him. Please, Sandusky is where he belongs and needs to stay there away from kids.
You don’t. It happened. I mean, at the very least, the guy acted in a bizarre way around kids. And took advantage of them in a disturbing way. That seems to be the BEST case scenario.
I think that this author’s defense was the best defense that anyone had for Sandusky. And I still think that it falls apart all over the place.
In that sense I hope that it was a good thing to air it out.
@@thesocialexchangepodcast3022 It was for sure. And you are correct on that. Sandusky, his wife, this author, it just angers you to no end every time, even when you "rerun" some of these interviews, to hear them justify that this was the age people grew up in and how "normal" this all was. They conveniently forget how people saw a naked Jerry in showers with naked boys on a regular basis, people who didn't know one another, and no explanation is given as to how this "coincidence" continued. As I said, that remark about the YMCA, maybe that's how Jerry started his reign of terror with boys because men and boys showered together in the nude. These guys all start somewhere.
@@ddmck1972 my high school coach took showers with his team after practice, he even popped some towels with us.
@@3765racer And were you and your friends comfortable with that? I know most people who would not have been. My high school coaches never took showers with students.
@@ddmck1972 I was comfortable with it I'm pretty sure all the other guys were too. What year did you graduate
With the benefit of hindsight is a really interesting listen. John Zeigler knows more about this case than well anyone. If nothing else Jerry needs a new trial which unfortunately will never happen.
There is no way you can convince me that Sandusky is innocent. I’m not God and can’t judge the man in my own humanness but the evidence seems pretty damning and he has created a dangerous precedent for others in authority and leadership.
I was sexually assaulted by my landlord, who also sexually assaulted other male tenants; I was illegally evicted from my home of over 16years after I complained about it. I am a survivor. I also went to law school. However, this video seriously brings into question Mr. Sandusky's guilt. I belief in fairness, regardless of the issue at hand and what has happened to me personally in the past. We must always look past the obvious, as this author did. The same is true in another very controversial case of former Oklahoma City Police Officer Daniel Holtzclaw (look it up online), who was sentenced to 263 years in prison for crimes he did NOT commit. Yup. Lots of corruption in the legal profession. I will be reading this book soon: "The Most Hated Man in America: Jerry Sandusky and the Rush to Judgment by Mark Pendergrast, Charlie Weirauch III, et al." BTW, I have partial amnesia, from trauma, horrific child abuse that occurred to me as a child. Isn't partial amnesia the same as repressed memory? I am not convinced there is no such thing as repressed memory. However, I do believe, at this time, that repressed memory was inappropriately and unlawfully used, via "suggestive pretrial procedures" e.g., in the Sandusky case. At this time, based on what I hear the book author stating in this video above, as a matter of law, Sandusky is not guilty. RE: The "Grooming" definition: The word "grooming" is very broad, and much of the definition, if not all of it, also applies to things, circumstances, and people that are purely innocent, and not nefarious in nature whatsoever. The Holy Spirit and St. Jude blesses those who pursue unpopular causes, including wrongful convictions.
they never convinced me he was guilty.
@@3765racerno1 cares what u think
2 things can be true. Maybe he did have smex with his wife. Doesn't mean he didn't abuse the boys.
I'm willing to bet he tried with his wife and was never able to get it up with her, but he certainly could with the boys.
Of course,Joe knew!
NPC take
💭MR. MAGOO💭❗Wake up and smell the Coffee❗
That comment you made about Jesus was tasteless and very unnecessary!! Ya had me til then, very disrespectful!! Joke? In very bad taste. I'm outta here.
He's not even real
More like mark pederast...
“They’re all adopted, by the way “ of course they are! He was not sexually attracted to having sex with an adult female.
Right. That they were adopted is simply not an argument.
Yes, five boys and one girl. I'm still trying to figure out how Sandusky agreed to adopt the girl since he's not into them.
@ddmck1972 the wife wanted a daughter?
@atm1919 Perhaps, but I think he made most of those decisions, and adopting a girl was his way of deflecting suspicion. Have you ever seen where his house is? It's adjacent to an elementary school, and I'll bet he was in a fierce bidding war to get it.
