Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant football coach at Pennsylvania State University, asked the judge who sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in prison for child sexual abuse to reconsider the punishment.
Sandusky, 68, contends the prison term imposed on him Oct. 9 by Judge John Cleland in state court in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, is too harsh and violates his constitutional rights. Sandusky was found guilty by a jury of abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. He was convicted on 45 counts.
