Today, one of the state’s most intriguing trials ever will get underway in Bellefonte.
 
A jury of seven women and five men will hear opening statements as the trial gets underway in the case against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
 
The 68 year old Sandusky faces 52 criminal counts that he sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years, allegations he's consistently denied.
 
Sandusky's lawyers were not able to get the judge to delay the trial, and on Friday Judge John Cleland rejected their request to have some or all of the counts dismissed.
 
Many of the alleged victims are expected to take the stand for the prosecution, and their credibility in jurors' eyes could prove to be the decisive factor in determining the verdict.
