(University Park, PA) An appeal was filed last week by Jerry Sandusky, who was a former assistant football coach at Penn State University. Sandusky is currently serving time in jail of thirty to sixty years on over forty charges of sexual abuse of children. Sandusky alleges there is new evidence of prosecutorial misconduct. The filing makes a claim that the attorneys of Sandusky have new evidence that prosecutors “coached” at least two of the victims who testified against Sandusky. Sandusky was convicted on October 9th, 2012 for allegedly sexually abusing ten boys over a period of fifteen years at Penn State University. The appeal by Sandusky requests a hearing on the new evidence that was alleged. Earlier this week, The Centre County District Attorney’s Office asked the judge for more time to respond to the filing of Sandusky.
