Sandusky loses appeal

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Child molester Jerry Sandusky lost a bid for a new trial yesterday when a judge rejected his argument that his lawyers were not given enough time to prepare for the trial that ended with a guilty verdict.

Judge John Cleland’s 27-page order said lawyers for the former Penn State assistant football coach conceded their posttrial review turned up no material that would have changed their trial strategy.
