Thursday is day one of the formal appeals process beginning for Jerry Sandusky.

His attorneys will go in front of a judge to say his conviction should be thrown out.

Sandusky is expected to be in the court room Thursday, and he'll listen to his attorneys argue that at the very least, his sentence should be reduced.

The tone of Jerry Sandusky's attorney’s arguments Thursday will be similar to what they've preached all along. There was not enough time to prepare a defense.

Sandusky's lawyers will likely try to convince Judge John Cleland they did not have the opportunity to search through phone records to link victims together or track down defense witnesses.

Sandusky Attorney Joe Amendola requested a delay multiple times throughout the case, but was consistently denied by Cleland.

Also, attorneys could once again question the judge's decision to allow second hand accounts of Sandusky's abuse as testimony.

During the trial, a former Penn State custodian testified to what a coworker claimed he saw Sandusky do to a boy in a locker room shower.

Sandusky, who is serving what amounts to a life sentence, will be in the Centre County Courtroom for the proceedings.

In related Sandusky news, former PSU President Graham Spanier has requested permission to communicate with Board of Trustees members.

He lives in the same building as at least two of them, and argues avoidance is impossible.
