Sandusky's home declared unsafe for kids, judge demands he stay indoors for duration of trial

Pa. judge to consider Sandusky jury, bail issues
AP - 1 hr 7 mins ago



BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — A judge said Friday he would decide soon whether to grant former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky greater freedom — and visits from his young grandchildren — while he awaits trial on child sex-abuse charges, but 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 him confined to the inside of his home while on house arrest awaiting trial, while the defense asked that he be allowed out occasionally to help with the case.

Wow that really says a lot about whether he's guilty or not.

I'm very much a proponent of "innocent until proven guilty," but there's way too many individual accusations and accusers here, coming out in completely separate circumstances, to really make that credible.

This case just gets weirder and weirder - it's such a fuck-up on all sides that I can't help but wonder why this didn't happen years ago.
