HARRISBURG, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky is getting some of the prosecution records he wants to help prepare his criminal defense on child sex abuse charges, but the attorney general’s office argued in a court filing Monday that he shouldn’t be provided with other material.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Jerry Sandusky is getting some of the prosecution records he wants to help prepare his criminal defense on child sex abuse charges, but the attorney general’s office argued in a court filing Monday that he shouldn’t be provided with other material.

The 15-page response by state prosecutors said the former Penn State assistant football coach has no right through the court discovery process to records that consist of grand jury matters, pertain to ongoing investigations or amount to private personal information.

They also said Sandusky should not get psychological evaluations regarding purported victims or juvenile arrest records for someone who isn’t a “charged victim.”

Sandusky’s lawyer, Joe Amendola, said Monday that he was reviewing the prosecution’s latest filling.
