BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) – Jerry Sandusky arrived Tuesday morning at the central Pennsylvania courthouse where he will stand trial on 52 counts of child sexual abuse.
The former Penn State assistant football coach will be on hand as his lawyers and prosecutors begin to choose the 12-person jury that will decide his guilt or innocence.
Sandusky and his lawyer made no comments as they exited their vehicle outside the courthouse.
Frank Fina, one of the senior prosecutors, was asked if he was ready for the trial and said: “I hope so.”
