JUDGE SAYS SANDUSKY WILL NOT GET NEW TRIAL

Jerry Sandusky lost a bid Wednesday for a new trial and a chance to convince a jury he is innocent of the child sexual abuse charges that landed him a decades-long prison sentence. Judge

John Foradora ruled that he was denying Sandusky’s request for a new trial and dismissal of the charges. The former Penn State assistant football coach’s lawyers have 30 days to appeal the judge’s decision to the Superior Court. Sandusky, 73, has consistently maintained he was wrongly convicted. He argued that he did not receive adequate representation at his 2012 trial and that prosecutors should have disclosed more details about changes to victims’ stories. Sandusky has been serving a 30- to 60-year sentence.
