Sandusky claims his lawyers didnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t represent him adequately during his 2012 trial and that prosecutors should have disclosed more information about changes to victimsÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ stories.
Foradora also could uphold SanduskyÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s 45-count child sexual abuse conviction, or throw out charges.
If Sandusky does get a new trial, heÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ll likely seek to be released on bail.
The 73-year-old Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence. HeÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s consistently maintained his innocence.
