Bill Cosby Ordered To Stand Trial In Criminal Case
At a hearing on Tuesday, comedian and alleged serial rapist Bill Cosby was ordered to stand trial on sexual assault charges. After determining the prosecutors had enough evidence to bring Cosby to trial, District Judge Elizabeth McHugh set Cosby’s arraignment for July 20. If convicted, Cosby could be sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Update: The judge set Cosby’s arraignment for July 20, but after the hearing, Cosby waived his right to a formal arraignment. This means Cosby, who has denied all the allegations against him, automatically enters a plea of not guilty. Another judge will be assigned to the case and set a trial date.
