Bill Cosby will be tried on 2004 sex-assault charges

Judge Steven O’Neill rejected Cosby’s arguments that prosecutors violated his rights by refusing to call the accuser, Andrea Constand, as a witness at a preliminary hearing in May, thus shielding her from cross-examination.
“This case shall proceed to trial on those counts,” O’Neill said at the conclusion of a three-hour hearing in the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas.
