Reality star mark cuban. What cuban told us late today. And the urgent manhunt right now, after a little boy is captured on surveillance. An American City and the plea for help. Good evening. And we begin tonight with that decision from a judge in pennsylvania. Bill cosby, once nicknamed americas dad, will now face his first criminal trial for alleged sexual assault. Cosby was escorted into the courtroom today, surrounded by cameras, police and in the crowd, some of his supporters. His defense team arguing sometimes shouting that the evidence is not there. Abcs linsey davis was in the courtroom. Reporter bill cosby greeted fans, waving, but walking into court today, not knowing if the first criminal trial against him would proceed. Guided into the courtroom, where a pennsylvania district judge ordered the embattled comedian to stand trial on charges of sexual assault. Andrea constand, the woman at the heart of the case, who alleges cosby sexually assaulted her, was not present in court today. Instead, portions of her statements to pennsylvania detectives from 2005 were read in course, alleging cosby told her to drink wine and take herbal medication before the alleged assault. During the three and a half hour hearing, at times the defense shouted and pointed out multiple inconsistencies, saying when constand was given the chance to review her statements, she had lots of crossouts. On one occasion, she told detectives, we laid down on the bed together, and later revised it to say, we relaxed close to each other. The defense questioned why she carried on a seemingly friendly relationship with cosby after the alleged assault, even asking him for tickets to his one of his comedy shows. There was no evidence of a crime here. And if the inconsistencies that plagued this investigation from the beginning continue to plague it now, this case should end immediately. Reporter the defense argued that at no time did constand ever say no or tell cosby to stop. The prosecution argues the pills rendered her unable to consent. Everything was bury and dizzy, she says, and her legs felt like jelly. It was intoxicating to her, and she was unable to consent. You know, thats the thats the crime. And linsey davis joins us live tonight. The defense team saying there a moment ago, the case should end immediately. The judge disagreeing today. So, what does cosby ultimately face, potentially, and could some of the other women be called to testify . Reporter yes, david. The prosecution will likely fight very hard to get the testimony from some of those other accusers included in this case. But it likely would only be admissible if theyre able to prove that he had a very specific method of operating. If hes found guilty, he faces up to ten years in prison. David . Linsey davis, who has been covering this case from the start. Thank you. We turn next tonight to some harrowing moments for passengers onboard two separate planes today, taking off from houston.
