Jerry Sandusky's lawyers want to put off accuser's recantation hearing in a bid for a new trial

Lawyers representing former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky have filed a request to cancel an upcoming court hearing. The hearing was originally scheduled to address a claim that an accuser intends to recant previous allegations of sexual abuse against Sandusky.

This legal motion is part of a broader effort by the defense to secure a new trial for Sandusky. The request to postpone or cancel the proceedings marks a significant development in the ongoing post-conviction legal challenges surrounding the case.
