( CNN ) -- A ruling is expected in coming weeks from a three-judge appeals court panel in Pennsylvania that heard Jerry Sandusky 's bid for a new trial Tuesday on charges he sexually assaulted 10 boys , spanning two decades . Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts , deemed a sexually violent predator , and is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence . Sandusky 's appeal centers around three arguments : That he did n't have enough time to prepare for trial , that those who accused him waited too long to report the abuse to police , and that the prosecutor at trial improperly referenced a television interview Sandusky did with Bob Costas just days after he was charged . Sandusky sentence does n't bring instant justice . The attorney general 's office argued that there was overwhelming and consistent evidence against the former Penn State linebacker coach . Eight victims and two eyewitnesses testified about his pattern of abuse . Almost all of the victims met Sandusky through his charity , The Second Mile , which he founded for troubled youth . Tuesday 's hearing was held in Luzerne County . Sandusky 's son , six others reach settlement with Penn State .
Sandusky was convicted of sexually assaulting boys and was sentenced to prison . He argues he did n't have time to prepare for trial and the accusations came too late . He also complains about the prosecutor 's reference to a TV interview Sandusky did .
