A Pennsylvania jury found former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky guilty Friday night on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. Newspapers in Pennsylvania and across the country devoted their front pages to announcing the verdict. Below is a selection of those pages, courtesy of the Newseum, including the hometown paper of Penn State and the Patriot-News, which won the Pulitzer Prize for its Sandusky coverage. Question: Why was the Sandusky verdict on the front pages of papers from the Honolulu Star-Advertiser to the Anchorage Daily News, and West Coast papers like the Bakersfield Californian, the Oregonian, and the Seattle Times, but not on the L.A. Times? (Some pages have been cropped).
