Jerry Sandusky appears in court; resentenced to 30 to 60 years
Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who entered a Pennsylvania courtroom handcuffed and weaing a yellow prison jumpsuit, was resentenced Friday to 30 to 60 years, the same amount as in his trial for sexually abusing children.
Sandusky smiled as he was escorted into Centre County Court on Friday in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. When a reporter asked him whether he maintains his innocence, he responded, “absolutely.” The hearing for Sandusky was ordered by a state appeals court after it ruled mandatory minimum sentences were improperly applied against him. The court, however, pointedly refused to order a new trial.Penn State University has paid more than $109 million to settle Sandusky abuse claims by at least 35 people. His arrest prompted the firing of Hall of Fame head coach Joe Paterno and the ousting of then-university President Graham Spanier.
