BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Jurors will return Friday to deliberate in the child sex abuse trial of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The jury talked about the case for more than eight hours Thursday before ending deliberations at about 9:30 p.m.

Earlier in the evening, the jurors asked to rehear testimony from two witnesses.

They want to listen again to the testimony of Mike McQueary, a onetime Penn State graduate assistant who reported seeing Sandusky assault a boy in a shower. They also want to rehear the testimony of Dr. Jonathan Dranov, who testified that McQueary gave him a different account of what he saw.

They’ll rehear the testimony Friday.

Sandusky is accused of sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period, allegations he’s denied.
