BELLEFONTE, Pa. —
A judge is hearing arguments about how much information former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky should get in advance of his trial on child sex abuse charges.
Arguments and Monday’s pretrial hearing concern the “bill of particulars” about the 10 purported victims that the attorney general’s office provided Sandusky’s attorney two weeks ago.
Defense attorney Joe Amendola wants more specific information about where and when alleged crimes occurred and the names of people who were present or nearby. He says that information may help him develop defenses based on alibi, the statute of limitations, double jeopardy or some other grounds.
The 68-year-old Sandusky is not at the hearing.
