A former musician who can no longer move his fingers individually because of an attack at a fraternity party testified Monday against the two Penn State football players he maintains are responsible.
Jude Sandt, 23, stared at defendants Thurgood "T.C." Cosby, 19, and Robert "R.J." Luke, 22, and accused them of the attack at Phi Kappa Psi fraternity last July that severed the tendons in his hands.
"When you're involved in something like that, their faces don't leave your mind. Even now, I can see them every day," Sandt testified in the aggravated ***ault trial.
Sandt testified he was hit, then picked up and thrown headfirst through a window, and got stuck in the window.
"I was still getting punched. I was stuck," he said.
Sandt, who played clarinet and piano, also demonstrated that despite surgery and several hours of therapy each day, he cannot move his fingers individually.
A defense lawyer asked Sandt why he didn't identify Luke from his hospital bed when an officer showed him football players' photos in a program guide.
"I was also directly out of surgery," Sandt snapped back. " ... I don't want to see anyone go to jail for something they didn't do. I know 100 percent that they did it or else I wouldn't be here today."
Phi Kappa Psi member Colin Simithraaratchy testified that Luke was "extremely threatening" when he wasn't allowed into the house immediately. He testified that Luke repeatedly said, "We're football; let us in."
Simithraaratchy said after the altercation, Luke was "parading" on the front lawn, beating his chest and flexing his arms.
"He was saying, `Who wants more? Who wants more?"' Simithraaratchy testified, adding that the attack was unprovoked. "That is why he stuck out in my mind."
The defense was scheduled to present its case on Tuesday.

eh, not really a big loss. Of course i'm upset at what happened, but if two normal guys took out this musician there'd be no story.
