BELLEFONTE — The attorney for Jerry Sandusky is asking a judge to order that prosecutors turn over information about witnesses he could expect to see at trial.

Joe Amendola filed a request for a bill of particulars last week from the Attorney General’s Office seeking names, dates of birth, and addresses of the accusers and other witnesses. He also sought dates and locations from where the allegations happened.

On Thursday, Amendola filed a request to Senior Judge John Cleland, asking the judge to order prosecutors to provide that information. A bill of particulars is standard procedure and requires the prosecutors to provide details such as the names and ages of people who say they’re victims and the names and addresses of witnesses.

Sandusky is charged with sexually abusing 10 boys. He maintains his innocence. Sandusky’s next court appearance has not yet been scheduled.
