Jerry Sandusky's Sex-Abuse Convictions Upheld On Appeal

The Legal Intelligencer (my journalism alma mater) reports that the Superior Court rejected all of the appellate arguments made by Jerry Sandusky, the "former Penn State assistant football coach, [who] was convicted by a Centre County jury in June 2012 on 45 of 48 counts of sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period and was subsequently sentenced to 30 to 90 years in prison." 

The panel rejected the argument that Sandusky's rights were prejudiced because he was not granted a delay in the start of the trial. 

The appellate court also came back with its decision in record time.
