Making his first public appearance in three months, the 68-year-old Sandusy arrived at the courthouse shortly before 9 a.m. Thursday. Sandusky maintains his innocence, contending that his lawyers did not have enough time to prepare for the trial.

The hearing was expected to delve into legal challenges including the claim by Sandusky's lawyers that a deluge of prosecution materials swamped the defense.

Electronic devices of all kinds are barred from the courtroom under an order by Judge John Cleland.

Sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison after being convicted in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse. The case led to the ouster of longtime Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, since deceased.
