again asked a judge to throw out the child sexual abuse charges against him on
Wednesday, arguing that some counts are too vague to defend and others involve
alleged victims whose identities have not been determined. The former Penn State
assistant football coachs trial is scheduled to get under way in less than three
weeks, although the judge has not ruled on a separate motion from Sandusky
asking for a delay. In the filing, defence attorney Joe Amendola attacked the
charges related to a person described in court records as Victim 2. The boys
encounter with Sandusky in a Penn State locker room a decade ago, and school
officials response to it, ultimately led to the departure of longtime football
coach Joe Paterno. Amendola wrote that the charges related to Victim 2 cannot be
sustained based on the testimony of Mike McQueary, an assistant football coach
who has said he saw Sandusky rape the boy in a team shower. McQuearys testimony
at a preliminary hearing in December for two Penn State administrators accused
of lying to a grand jury and failing to properly report suspected abuse “did not
establish sufficient evidence to support these charges being submitted to the
jury,” Amendola wrote. The date of that encounter had been listed in court
records as March 2002 until last week, when the attorney generals office amended
it to February 2001. Amendola also argued that that prosecutors will not be able
to show there was any sexual contact with a boy labeled Victim 6. The boy
showered witth Sandusky in 1998, authorities said, prompting a complaint by his
mother to university police that produced an investigation but no charges. Brandon Weeden Jersey. Amendola told Judge
John Cleland that he does not expect prosecutors to be able to “establish that
any sexual contact took place” between Sandusky and Victim 6, “and the
commonwealth will not be able to establish any criminal intent.” As for
so-called Victim 8, reportedly seen in 2000 by Penn State janitor Jim Calhoun
being molested by Sandusky, Calhoun suffers from dementia and is not able to
testify, according to a report by the grand jury that investigated Sandusky.
Amendola argued that will require Calhouns co-workers to testify about what
Calhoun told them, which would amount to hearsay that is not allowed as
evidence. Sandusky, 68, faces 52 criminal counts for alleged abuse of 10 boys
over 15 years, allegations he has repeatedly denied. A spokesman for the
attorney generals office declined to comment on the new filing. Cleland on April
12 dismissed a previous effort by the defence to have the case thrown out, but
left the door open for Sanduskys lawyers to re-file. It was not immediately
clear how soon the judge might rule on the new motions. Cleland could have
prosecutors file a written response, and schedule oral argument before deciding
the matters. Also pending before Cleland is a request made last week by Amendola
to delay the start of trial, which is currently scheduled to begin in Bellefonte
with jury selection on June 5. ’ ’ ’
