two big issues on the table yesterday, first was the date of the alleged sexual encounter by andrea constand. the defense attorneys started to pull out phone record, travel schedules to prove to the judge that this did not happen when they say it d reason why that is important because of the statute of the limitations, defense attorneys were hoping that would help advance their motion to dismiss charges all together. judge stephen o'neill rejected that motion and said issue should be taken up at april 2nd trial and jury should decide. that other issue up for discussion is testimony from 19 other women who said they were drugged and attack by america's most famous father. prosecutors brief their testimony will bolster credibility of the andrea conn stan. only woman whose charges were logged begins cosby in december 2015. they want to paint picture of cosby as a predator with a method of assaulting woman. the judge only allowed one other woman to testify, and it is reported judge o'neill says he will not be making any decisions regarding this until after the hearing, because he says, that it i

because they used travel and phone record to prove that the alleged incident between their client, andrea constand didn't happen when they said. if that is the case timing is off but that didn't work either. judge didn't immediately decide about those 19 accusers , and the prosecution wants them to testify in the last trial he only allowed constand and one more. d.a.'s office say more woman can prove their point that comedian was a predator who made inappropriate advances toward women. cosby's lawyers say they would seek a postpone. if a judge allows more women because they would have to investigate the claims these women are making. many says, the growth and explosion of the me too movement that started could prove to be problematic for cosby, saying it is ushering a new understanding of sexual harassment and gender rolls and maybe that this could prove to be problematic for his defense team, timing, because last summer when this was all playing out in the trial they could not really come out yet. harvey weinstein had not come out yet that issue so that could be interesting for this when this all
