A Pennsylvania appeals court has denied Jerry Sandusky's request for a new trial, affirming that he failed to present credible evidence that would challenge the integrity of his accusers. Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant coach, is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence for 45 counts of child sexual abuse. His 2011 arrest led to significant repercussions, including the firing of Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno and over $100 million paid to victims.
