What happened

Jerry Sandusky's legal team has moved to reverse course and cancel a scheduled Centre County hearing regarding an accuser's recantation, opting instead to seek a federal remedy for his ongoing appeal. Legal maneuvering has intensified around the case following the defense motion to withdraw its previous claims.

Outlets including ESPN, The New York Times, NBC10 Philadelphia, WGAL, and the Centre Daily Times report that a judge has ordered the hearing to proceed regardless of the defense motion, while the state Attorney General's office wants Sandusky questioned in court. Future developments depend on how the court handles the conflicting motions between the defense request to cancel the proceedings, the judge's order for the hearing to go forward, and the Attorney General's demand for questioning.
