    Bill Cosby trial gets a go ahead
  • A judge denied Cosby's defense's motion to dismiss the case.

    Judge Steven O'Neill said that he had examined all the pleadings, filings and witness testimonies and found "no basis" for Cosby's claim for immunity from prosecution which means the trial will move forward now.

    The request to remove newly elected District Attorney Kevin Steele from the case was also dismissed.
