Sandusky move for new trial puts Pennsylvania AG Kane in spotlight
 

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (Reuters) - Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane was ordered Thursday to turn over evidence that she says proves that a judge had leaked secret information to a reporter about a grand jury investigating Jerry Sandusky for child sex abuse.

The order came during a hearing into defense moves to win a new trial for Sandusky, the former assistant football coach at Penn State University, who was convicted in 2012 of molesting 10 boys over 15 years.

Sandusky lawyer Alexander Lindsay maintains that the grand jury initially heard from only two victims and the case was falling apart, but the judge's leaks generated publicity that prompted other victims to come forward and helped prosecutors shore up their case and win indictments.

Sandusky, 71, is serving 30 to 60 years in the state's "Supermax" prison in Waynesburg. Wearing a red prison jumpsuit, his wrists cuffed in front, he was escorted from a van into Centre County Court, where his wife Dottie sat near the front of the courtroom.

The hearing was called after Sandusky asked Senior Judge John Cleland, who presided at the 2012 trial, to allow him to research whether his rights were violated so that he could appeal the conviction.
