Sandusky Seeks New Trial
Attorneys for Jerry Sandusky have filed post-trial motions seeking a new trial. They’ve added Philadelphia attorney Norris Gelman to the defense team.
The filing in Centre County Court raises questions of insufficient evidence, insufficient time to prepare the defense and claims the statute of limitations had expired on some of the charges against the former Penn State assistant football coach.
Sandusky was convicted in June on 45 counts of child sex abuse involving 10 boys. He was sentenced to serve 30 to 60 years in jail earlier this month.
Sandusky has maintained his innocence.
