The Pros And Cons Of Contract Law
Bill Cosby and his lawyers are not giving up without a good fight as they petition the courts again to drop the criminal sex assault case. Radar Online, June 8, 2016 reports that Bill and his attorneys want the case dismissed because Andrea Constand, did not show up in court.
Papers filed by Bill Cosby’s lawyers said, “The District Attorney’s win-at-all-costs tactics in this matter are stretching the rules past the breaking point.” They are asking the court to dismiss the criminal charges against their client or give him a new preliminary hearing where Andrea Constand must take the stand.
Bill’s lawyers are complaining that they did not get the proper process on May 24 from Judge Elizabeth McHugh. The judge ruled that the three felony second-degree
aggravated indecent assault charges would proceed.
Los Angeles lawyers Brian McMonagle and Christopher Tayback from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP, along with Monique Pressley from the D.C office wrote in their petition filed in Montgomery County, “During this hearing, the Commonwealth relied solely upon hearsay evidence to establish the elements of the charged offense, without providing Mr. Cosby an opportunity to confront and cross-examine his accuser. “ Mr. Cosby objected and requested permission to cross-examine his accuser, but the court overruled the objection and allowed the Commonwealth to proceed based upon hearsay.”
Andrea Constand who did not testify during the hearing, instead she had officials read her statement of the graphic details that she suffered as Bill Cosby allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Bill Cosby was charged with three felony second-degree aggravated indecent assault just before the statute of limitations expired. He was arraigned on December 30 with bail set at $1 million. Bill did not enter a plea, but he posted his bail for his release.
If Bill Cosby is convicted of these charges, he could be sentenced to 10 years in jail. Will the judge dismiss his case this time or will Andrea constant have to take the stand and give her own testimony?
