The trial of ex-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is under way in a courthouse in Bellefonte, Pa., located about 10 miles from the Penn State campus.
The 68-year-old Sandusky faces 52 counts of child sexual abuse against 10 boys over the span of 15 years. Formerly an accomplished defensive coach for the Nittany Lions, Sandusky's initial arrest in November 2011 ignited a firestorm of controversy and outrage that included the ouster of iconic football coach Joe Paterno and other school administrators.
Seven women and five men were selected to be jurors, some of which have ties to Penn State University. Judge John Cleland is presiding over the trial and made several key decisions before opening statements were made. Judge Cleland rebuffed several requests by the defense to postpone the trial, ruled that media members would not be able to file live reports during the trial and also denied a request for anonymity by some of the accusers.
