(Bellefonte) -- Attorneys for the alleged abuse victims of Jerry Sandusky say their clients are feeling a range of emotions in the wake of news they won’t have to testify before the full trial of the ex-coach. Minutes after the all-rise order came from inside the court room where a magistrate judge was scheduled to preside over the preliminary hearing of Sandusky for child sex crimes, word came from the bench that the former Penn State defensive coordinator would waive his right to a preliminary hearing. Leaving the courtroom, Sandusky told reporters he would, "Just stay the course to fight for four quarters. We'll await the opportunity to present our side." Ben Andreozzi, the attorney for the man identified in the grand jury presentment as Victim Number Four, says his client would have been the first accuser to testify for the prosecution. "This is the written statement that he prepared. ‘This is the most difficult time of my life. I can’t put into words how unbearable this has been on my life both physically and mentally. I can’t believe they put us through this until the last second only to waive the hearing,'" he said, finishing the statement. Sandusky's lawyer, Joe Amendola, says the decision was made late last night. He says the defense will be able to establish a lack of credibility of witnesses at a full trial and adds Sandusky maintains his innocence.
