...Sandusky that his bail conditions be loosened so he can have contact with his grandchildren and others.
Sandusky's lawyer, Joe Amendola, texted a reporter that the claim he's been watching school children from his deck "is a totally false statement" made by individuals who "will not be happy unless Jerry is incarcerated."
Sandusky takes stand at pretrial hearing to request local jurors

Defense attorney Joe Amdendola also asked that Sandusky, 68, be permitted to see his grandchildren, a request strenuously opposed by prosecutors.
"This home was not safe for children for 15 years, and it's not safe for children now," said state prosecutor Jonelle Eshbach.
Prosecutors noted that one daughter-in-law strongly objects to increased contact between her children and Sandusky.
Amendola presented the court with letters from Sandusky's children, and notes and drawings from his grandchildren, expressing their desire for increased contact. He also noted a court-appointed guardian for grandchildren who are part of a custody dispute found no reason Sandusky couldn't see them.
Outside the courthouse, Sandusky told reporters he wanted to be able to see his grandchildren -- who he said wanted to see him, too -- and old friends.
"Our home has been open for 27 years to all kinds of people," Sandusky said.
With his wife, Dottie, at his side, Sandusky said he'd associated with thousands of young people over the years, before prosecutors filed sex abuse charge against him in November.
"Now I can't take my dog on my deck and throw out biscuits to him," he said.
Prosecutors have also requested an out-of-county jury to hear Sandusky's case, given the widespread media attention and close ties many people in Centre County have to Penn State.
Cleland wanted to hear from Sandusky directly about his attorney's opposition to that request. Sandusky was sworn in and briefly took the stand to answer the judge's questions.
Sandusky acknowledged that his position on the jury question means he could not appeal a conviction on grounds the local jury was biased.
"I don't believe that would matter, relative to any place [else] in this state," he testified.
The state attorney general's office has asked for tougher bail rules, arguing that Sandusky should remain inside because neighbors and school staff have complained about his presence near the school.
Sassano testified that children had noticed him from their classroom, and that his presence was disrupting school activities.

First you remove disgraced from the thread title of a man who is disgraced, now you're feeling bad for the Sandusky's? Next thing you know disgraced will be removed from this thread title.Oh8ch;2107870; said:Not to let anyone who contributed to what happened to these kids off the hook - but screw these reporters who are nothing more than stalkers lying in wait outside folks homes.

After seeing what a crock of crap the Grand Jury Report was, I'm thinking more and more that this whole case against him smells. The prosecution is doing their best to create a monster and they have. Who the heck is the guy going to hurt from his back porch?
I can almost buy his defense (i.e., all his accusers know one another and they have colluded regarding their accusations out of greed)
Is there a pattern; is Sandusky's repeated behavior beyond bizarre; etc....? No question about it, but can you absolutely rule out other possibilities - even remote ones? I don't think so.
There have been enough questions raised to give me pause about all of these alleged incidents. I'll wait for more facts to come to light at trial before I make up my mind.
The AG wanted go after JS-hard. The tangential casualties of this war have been Joe and PSU, and the former because of the latter.
The daughter-in-law who cooked up an unfounded abuse claim? If she's a kook (I don't know either way), then yes.
If I don't respond to you, it's probably because you're a whiner, so I blocked you. Congrats!
