Sandusky Appeal Focuses On Victim 2's Conflicting Statements
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) -- Jerry Sandusky's lawyers are focusing on conflicting statements from a man who settled a child sex abuse claim with Penn State but didn't testify at Sandusky's criminal trial.
The second day of an appeal hearing for the former defensive coach on Monday included testimony from a lawyer who represents the man who says he is Victim 2 and was seen being abused by Sandusky in a shower.
