HARRISBURG, Pa. —

Pennsylvania state prosecutors said they’re turning over some of the records and material sought by Jerry Sandusky’s defense team, but that others don’t have to be released.
 
The attorney general’s office on Monday filed a 15-page response that says it shouldn’t have to give the former Penn State assistant football coach records that consist of grand jury matters, pertain to ongoing investigations or amount to private personal information.
 
The two sides are trying to work out pretrial issues as the judge has scheduled the start of jury selection for May 14.
 
Prosecutors said they aren’t required to turn over psychological evaluations regarding purported victims, or juvenile arrest records for someone who isn’t a “charged victim” in the case.
 
The Associated Press reported that messages seeking comment from Sandusky’s lawyer, Joe Amendola, weren’t immediately returned.
