The judge who presided at convicted serial child molester Jerry Sandusky’s trial has rejected all of his post-sentence motions, ruling the former Penn State assistant football coach was not prejudiced by the amount of time he had to prepare for trial and that the court properly charged the jury.

In denying Sandusky’s request for a new trial, Senior Judge John M. Cleland rejected seven defense arguments in total, setting the stage for an expected appeal to the state Superior Court.
