| Ex Penn State Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky Trial Set For May | | |
Former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky's requests for greater freedom of movement -- and visits from his young grandchildren -- while he awaits trial on child sex-abuse charges were taken under advisement by a judge Friday, but prosecutors countered that Sandusky's home is not a safe place for children.Judge John Cleland set a tentative trial date of May 14 for Sandusky and promised to rule quickly on a number of other issues, including dueling requests for changes to his bail restrictions.The attorney general's office wants Sandusky confined to the inside of his home while on house arrest awaiting trial, while the defense asked that he be allowed out occasionally to help with the case.Defense attorney Joe Amendola's request that Sandusky, 68, be permitted to see his grandchildren drew strenuous opposition from prosecutors."This home was not safe for children for 15 years, and it's not safe for children now," state prosecutor Jonelle Eshbach said.
