Jerry Sandusky Attorney to File Petition with State Supreme Court for New Trial

If attorney Al Lindsay wins his petition, former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky will get a new trial after he was originally sentenced to 30-60 years in prison following a 2012 conviction on 45 counts of child molestation.

According to A.J. Perez of USA Today, Lindsay held a news conference Monday to announce he will file a petition with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in the hope of landing a new trial. Perez noted a similar filing was already denied but a re-sentencing request was granted.

"One of the problems we have confronted that people don't want to deal with is this: Suppose I'm telling you the truth," Lindsay said.
