''Nobody wins. We've all lost.'' - The mother of Victim 6, who testified against Sandusky in court.

''Today a jury did what so many other people and institutions failed to do - they held Jerry Sandusky accountable for sexually abusing children. This jury broke years of silence about Sandusky's systematic targeting, grooming and abuse of children and finally delivered justice.'' - Justine Andronici and Andrew Shubin, lawyers for Victims 3 and 7 and Matt Sandusky.
