Did you miss the news Friday night that Jerry Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of sex abuse for sexually assaulting 10 boys over 15 years?

Well, you can't miss it now.

Here's a roundup of the latest stories about the Sandusky case:

Sandusky may face additional charges after two new accusers -- including his adopted son - stepped forward this week to claim they were also sexually abused by the former Penn State coach.

One juror told the 'Today' show it looked like Sandusky accepted the verdict and "knew it was true."

The Patriot-News has brief descriptions of the jurors' backgrounds. One juror's husband, a physician, worked with Mike McQueary's father, John McQueary. Another juror has been a Penn State professor for the last 24 years.

With the initial criminal trial finally over, Penn State University officials want to "privately, expeditiously and fairly" compensate and address the concerns of Sandusky's victims.

But an attorney for one the victims said "there's no doubt that Penn State has responsibility here" and that scrutiny of the university is only just beginning.

Sandusky leaving his house Friday night tipped off some reporters that a verdict might be coming. A tweet about Sandusky's departure started the ball rolling on how the verdict came out on social media.

A Philadelphia Inquirer reporter thinks the "drama won't end" with Friday night's verdict. Another Inquirer reporter analyzes the photograph of Sandusky in handcuffs and its symbolism of the scandal.

Defense attorney Joe Amendola has been in the headlines more for his antics outside the courtroom than what he did inside.

He was getting prepared to do an interview Friday night with CNN's Anderson Cooper, and when he was asked to do the interview, Amendola asked "With who? Somebody cute?"

See it for yourself.
