The Jerry Sandusky Trial hasn't even started yet, and already it's becoming a circus.
Jury selection began Tuesday, and several of the potential jurors claimed to know Sandusky or his wife. Several others were wearing Penn State jackets.
The pool reporter also said that most of the jury pool is middle-aged and Caucasian, with several people wearing Penn State jackets.
