The Latest: Jury in Cosby retrial will be sequestered
NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The Latest on a pretrial hearing in Bill Cosby's sexual assault case (all times local):4:30 p.m.
The judge in Bill Cosby's retrial on sexual assault charges says that a jury chosen from suburban Philadelphia will be sequestered in a local hotel.
Judge Steven O'Neill told lawyers Thursday of the plan for the jury being chosen from Montgomery County.
The jury from the first trial was chosen from about 300 miles (482 kilometers) away in Allegheny County.
O'Neill rejected arguments from Cosby's defense lawyers Thursday to step aside from the case because his wife is a social worker and advocate for assault victims.
The pretrial hearing will continue Friday ahead of the scheduled start of jury selection Monday.
