Bill Cosby trial will be decided by outside, sequestered jury

A sequestered jury from an outside county will decide the sexual assault case against Bill Cosby, a suburban Philadelphia judge ruled Monday, rejecting a defense request to move the trial itself because of worldwide media reports that the actor’s lawyers say brand him a “serial rapist.” Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill will oversee a June 5 trial over charges that Cosby drugged and molested a former Temple University employee in 2004. O’Neill’s ruling came after lawyers for the 79-year-old TV star argued that his trial should be moved to Philadelphia or the Pittsburgh area. The larger, more diverse population would make it easier to find unbiased jurors, lawyer Brian McMonagle argued, but even then, he said, there was no guarantee that Cosby could get a fair hearing. “Unless you’ve been living under a rock, the message that has been promoted, in insidious fashion, is that Bill Cosby is guilty, and that Bill Cosby is a serial rapist,” McMonagle said. “I do not believe that there’s a place anywhere in this country now where he can receive a fair trial. Not here, not anywhere. I hope I’m wrong.” Prosecutors accused the defense of trying to shop for a jury.

Robin Thicke Wasn’t Bribing Dept of Children

Pics have surfaced of Robin Thicke and his son, Julian, at Nobu in Malibu … the lunch Paula Patton claims was essentially an attempt to bribe the Dept. of Children and Family Services with sushi. TMZ reports Robin’s team has laughed at Paula’s claims, and says the monitor — Mike, who’s wearing the hat — sat at a separate table and only drank water. The monitor is required by the judge to be present the entire time Robin is with his 6-year-old son. The monitor was sitting at a table with someone from the Dept. of Children and Family Services, who was actually there to monitor the monitor after Paula complained about him. He too, we’re told, only drank water. As for why they went to Nobu … it’s Julian’s fav. The post Robin Thicke Wasn’t Bribing Dept of Children appeared first on Today's Evil Beet Gossip.
