also live with me here, legal analyst and defense attorney joey jackson and former prosecutor and defense attorney,

i want to bring in joey jackson into this. because as boris reports, it's likely this is going to happen. this extradition is going to happen. i'm picturing the hannibal lector style. >> the jails in the united states are certainly equipped to deal with the worst of the worst of criminals. so in terms of security, you have the u.s. marshals, the fbi, homeland security. i wouldn't envision some type of scenario he would otherwise be a vulnerable prisoner in terms of leaving and escaping. i don't see that. ironically, if he does come to brooklyn, which is the decision the department of justice will have to make. there's a strong case with heroin distribution, putting him with really like a dozen or more murders, et cetera, et cetera. strong case. it looks like he does go there. there's an underground tunnel in brooklyn. it's curious as to the nature of how he would be shipped there but it's a strong case and even if he's convicted there and boris sanchez mentioned, he's wanted in chicago, san diego, et cetera, i think the punish

also live with me here, legal analyst and defense attorney joey jackson and former prosecutor and defense attorney, julie rendleman. first sarah, to you for the reporting, take me to pennsylvania. tell me what's been happening in this preliminary case. >> reporter: good afternoon, ashleigh. first, you've got to set the scene here. this is cosby's hometown. montgomery county outside of philadelphia. he was never more loved anywhere else than he was here. in fact, as he approached the courthouse, he was met my fby a small group of fans and gave a wave of acknowledgment to them and the media. inside this courthouse, he faces the only criminal case, of all of the allegations that have been made against him in the past few years, this is the only one that made it to criminal court. this allegedly happened 12 years ago. in 2004, a woman who was the director of the women's basketball team here at temple university said she was over at bill cosby's home, he gave her some blue pills and then sexually assaulted her. now later on, she sued him civilly and it was in his civil deposition released last

i want to bring in cnn's legal analyst, joey jackson.'ve parsed this one way or another. criminally speaking, the authorities weighed and don't see a kind of charge for the parents on this. i doubt this would be a charge for the zoo either. but that's criminal. >> sad scenario. awful when you think about this and envision it didn't have to happen but let's examine the criminality. certainly, you can make the argument that parents have an obligation, a responsibility, and a duty to make sure that the children are always in control. that they're supervised. any parent, however, knows in a split instance, a child gets into anything and everything. absolutely. >> every one of us has had this happen. if you had a little child, you had this happen. >> it's harrowing and i'm sure we all have, and at poem, peoho own instances. >> you're at the zoo and can't find them. >> do you want to start criminalizing, as horrific as this is and there's a gorilla who's dead and didn't have to have this happen when you lose sight for just a split instance and

a full analysis of what is going on from joey jackson. but you were inside the courtroom. tell us how it went down. >> reporter: let me tell you exactly the feel in the courtroom was professional. bill cosby was there. he had to be there under law. he sat at the defense table. he didn't talk very much. it was a packed courtroom. the defense was extremely aggressive towards that judge. you heard gloria allred. the prosecution theory in a nutshell and they had andrea constand's statement read through in the months of january and february of 2004. andrea constand went to bill cosby's home. when she got there, she said she was having emotional issues. went upstairs. brought down three blue pills. had her take them and told her to drink wine. after that, she suddenly felt woozy and her legs were weak and had to assist her to a couch. said she was conscious in and out but wasn't able to stop him from sexually assaulting her. but the defense fired back on cross-examination saying so many things that andrea had said. she wrote other things. that she had gone to bill cosby's home s

i want to bring in joey jackson, our legal analyst to talk about this. first, so distressing to hear how quick prince's representatives were in trying to get help for prince and how close it was. if they had only been able to get there a day before, that prince might have been able to be saved. but this statutory immunity that was given and clearly, this andrew cornfield was interrogated as well. he was interviewed by police. he will not be facing any kinds of charges for whatever might have been in his backpack for whatever reason. >> two issues, ashleigh and the issue number one is the essence of time. i mean, time we take. it's so much we take for granted. the fact is that we learn now that there was an underlying issue. a deep issue. an issue which was going to be addressed. but as a result of the exigency of the circumstance, the immediate attention he needed and the time it took to get him that attention, unfortunately, it wasn't timely and again, unfortunately, he met his demise. the second issue in terms of 9-1-1 and immunity, that's what you wan

i have joey jackson and laurie coates. so let's get to it here. the crux of the case is consent. turning to you from a defense perspective, listen, she came to his home or hung out with him prior to this event. she came afterwards. she could have said no prior to the offering of the pills. to the point of consent. >> here's the issue. make no mistake about it. what the defense was doing in the courtroom was speaking to a jury. i get the fact that there was -- >> on the yelling. >> absolutely. there's no jury in the courtroom. >> i was going to go there next. >> a matter before the judge. the judge deciding one thing. is there reasonable cause to believe a crime occurred? did he commit that crime? that's the standard. in terms of going after the credibility and saying she came before and she came after and they were friends, et cetera. that's for a jury pool for another day. let's be clear about something. these preliminary hearings 99% of the time move forward into trial. the defense had no illusion stepping into the courtroom that the judge would say, really, she did that? the ca

>> we sat here joey jackson on the show for 45 minutes, listened, hung on every word of the zoo directorcinnati saying we've had it for 38 years. no issue. >> no breach. >> looking into it now and then said do you know 3-year-olds? like, this is what happens when you blink and a 3-year-old is climbing up somewhere and dropping over. what would the charges even be? >> okay. well, absolutely there needs to be an investigation and it certainly is good to do one and want the find out exactly how it can happen. not only relating to what happened here, tragic the gorilla's dead and the child could have been dead, too. preventing it in the future. >> right. >> so if you're looking at charging the parents, you could go after them for endangering, an endangering charge of the child, negligent, not exercising a reasonable duty of care overseeing their child and the zoo director -- in theory, yes, you can do it. the zoo director saying that, it's true. every parent knows in a split second your child is in the street. your child is, you know, has his finger in a plug. your child is anywhere and ever

joey jackson and attorney and legal affairs, a reeva martin. thank you both for coming on. my first question, after l listening to the report, to move forward to a trial, cosby's defense will say the encounter with constand was con essenti . >> this is an arrangement. this isn't a full trial. the legal standard is much more lower, much less than what it will be in the trial. in the trial, we're going to be looking at beyond reasonable doubt. it is by a preponderance of the evidence. all they have to show to the judge, not a jury in this case, is that there is enough evidence to move forward to the next step. the next step in this case being an actual trail. so the prosecutor doesn't have a very heavy burden this morning with respect to what they have to establish, and in fact, they can put forth evidence via affidavits. they don't have to put on witnesses to actually testify. i don't expect constand to be here this morning, and even if she is here, it is not likely that she will take the witness stand. it is likely that the case by the prosecution will be made via other wit
