Video: Community left to heal after Sandusky verdict



>> running high in the community around penn state . the folks there call happy valley shattered by scandal left trying to pick up the pieces . nbc's ron allen reports from pennsylvania.

>> reporter: today at penn state there was a feeling of relief that jerry sandusky had finally had his day in court.

>> it is a shame what he did and to be honest with you he got what he deserved.

>> it is relief mixed with reality. his conviction is a step down an emotional road penn state has been on since last fall. back then riots broke out when the case led to the firing of the late ledge andary football coach joe paterno . last night cheers for prosecutors after the verdict and compassion for the victims.

>> i hope it brings to peace to the victims, a closure.

>> reporter: penn state released a statement saying it now plans to invite the victims here to discuss their concerns and try to resolve their anticipated financial claims. many still want a public investigation about sandusky.

>> i believe the top dogs knew about it and i believe there was a cover up.

>> it is more than football belie believe it or not and more than sandusky. that is why i believe the university will browns back.

>> reporter: after much soul searching about how this could have happened here. ron allen , penn state .
