AG Wants Change of Venire in
Sandusky Child Sex Abuse Case
State prosecutors are asking Judge John Cleland to bring in a jury from another county in the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case, saying pretrial publicity and the role Penn State plays in the community would affect potential jurors.
A motion filed today by the attorney general's office says coverage of the case has been "spectacular in its breadth and intensity."
Prosecutors say it wouldn't be fair or practical to ask people in Centre County to insulate themselves from Penn State.
Cleland has not said yet when he will hear arguments on the motion.
Sandusky denies the allegations he abused 10 boys over 15 years.
