(Yahoo! Sports) BELLEFONTE, Pa. – Joyce Porter sits in a booth at the old downtown Diamond Deli, across the street from the Centre County Courthouse where her friend Jerry Sandusky is being tried on 52 counts of sexually molesting children.
She nibbles chicken salad on a croissant and uses a somewhat shocking analogy for why she maintains undying support for the most hated man in Pennsylvania, if not beyond.
“When everyone was persecuting Jesus, someone had to stand with him,” Porter said.
