Artist Restores Halo On Joe Paterno Mural

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (CBS) – An artist is once again making changes to a mural of Joe Paterno in State College.

In a new video, Michael Pilato is seen painting a halo over Paterno's head.

The artist originally added the halo when the former Penn State football coach died in 2012, but he removed it in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.

Pilato said he decided to right a personal wrong by bringing back the halo.

All of the people in the mural who have died have halos over their heads.
