Bill Cosby Case Summary
Bill Cosby is in the news again.
A new report in Page Six reveals the disgraced comedian, 79, is hoping to negotiate a plea deal that will allow him to avoid both a trial and prison time in one of his sex crimes cases, a source close to him tells the New York Post's gossip column.
A criminal trial is set for June in the case in which he's facing three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault for a 2004 incident involving former Temple University employee Andrea Constand.
"He and his family, including his wife, Camille, are adamant that Bill won't be able to convince a jury to let him off," a source close to the Cosbys told the newspaper.

    As expected, the presiding judge ordered that Simpson be held without bail. The following day, a grand jury was called to determine whether to indict him for the murders. Two days later, on June 23, the grand jury was dismissed as a result of excessive media coverage, which could have influenced its neutrality. Rather than a grand jury hearing, a probable cause hearing was held to determine whether or not to bring Simpson to trial, which was a minor victory for Simpson's lawyers who would now be able to get to evidence as it was being presented by the prosecution to a grand jury hearing. For the defense case Simpson hired a team of high-profile lawyers, including F. Lee Bailey, Robert Kardashian, Robert Shapiro, Alan Dershowitz, Johnnie Cochran, Gerald Uelmen Carl E. Douglas and Shawn…
