Sandusky judge mulls bail requests, sets trial for May 14
A judge in Bellefonte, Pa., said he would decide soon whether to grant former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky greater freedom — and visits from his grandchildren — while he awaits trial on child sex-abuse charges.
Prosecutors countered that Sandusky’s home is not a safe place for children.
Judge John Cleland set a tentative trial date of May 14 for Sandusky and promised to rule quickly on a number of other issues, including dueling requests for changes to his bail restrictions.
The attorney general’s office wants Sandusky confined to the inside of his home while on house arrest awaiting trial; the defense asked that he be allowed out occasionally to help with the case.
