Cosby's civil defense team won one battle. One of the defamation suits filed by an alleged victim, Renita Hill, was tossed out two weeks ago. The judge ruled that Cosby's statements, his wife's statements, and his attorney's statements that his accusers needed to be fact-checked and were making unsubstantiated fantastical innuendos did not meet the criteria for defamation in Pennsylvania. http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/21/us/bill-co...dismissed/
His criminal defense team is currently fighting to get the sexual assault charges against him thrown out too. Castor, the District Attorney who declined to prosecute Cosby when Andrea Constand filed the police report against him 10 years ago (he says he believed her, but it was too hard to prove), reportedly told Cosby that he wouldn't be prosecuted later. The new D.A. says there's no proof of such agreement and it shouldn't be legally binding anyway. The judge is expected to rule soon. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/peopl.../79745308/
