Action News Reporter is live at the courthouse in norristown tonight. The judge did not elaborate how it came to the ruling, but a clear win for the prosecution and one that cosbys attorneys say they will be appealing. Bill cosby kept quiet, only waving to fans outside of the Montgomery County courthouse after nearly two days of testimony, arguments, the judge denied the defense motion to throw out the sexual case against the 78yearold comedian. How are you doing . Accused of assaulting Andrea Constand in his home in 2004. Cosby claims it was consensual. And his attorneys argue that he had a verbal statement not to prosecute. And the case is moving forward and they say it is bias and are using cosby as a political football to get elected. And that cosby is not asking for special treatment, he is asking for a prosecutor who abides by the rule. And they shot down the accusations saying the office cant do this is an attempt to pick your prosecutor and you dont get to do that. And the judge ruled to keep steele on the case vowing no professional misconduct. The crowds flanking the courthouse sidewalks reacted. I just dont believe it at all. It shouldnt have been brought up years later since it happened years ago, it should have been brought up when it happened.

And chad pradelli live in the satellite center, and you recently talked to two men caught in madoffs web of lies. Yes, jim. Madoff left a long trail of victims, many of them highprofile complaints like Stephen Spielberg and kevin bacon but some middleclass families here. It is virtually impossible to violate rules. Bernie madoff, go for it. Its been eight years since the authorities arrested Bernie Madoff for bilking millions. And among though left emptyhanded and a financial blow forcing her out of her house into a retirement home where she died in 2012. I cant live with being angry, ok, and certainly i dont forgive Bernie Madoff for that. This was surreal. I would not leave that i was even involved with Something Like this. Dr. Grossman started investing with him 25 years ago after his fatherinlaw, a savvy investor waited two years to get in with madoff. And he was a modest investor, he will not say how much he entrusted the nowimprisoned 77 year old. It was nice to know that no matter what happened you had a financial future, which was wiped away overnight. And the special on madoff unravelled the ponzi scheme he perpetuated. Not clear how long he operated his scream but thousands were never suspicious. There were regular checks of reasonable returns. His parents received receipts like this one, stacks of them every month. Dr. Grossman cant say the same. He never saw a dime. It was all paper. Fortunately, he diversified his investments and the loss was not a devastating blow. They learned about their sudden miss misfortune until it hit the air waves. I remember thinking i cant wait until i wake up, this cant be real. And you can see an Interesting Exchange between one of our victims and the actress who plays madoffs secretary in the abc special.

Waiting for the massive system, which is lingering over the coast of new jersey, to move out but apparently not going anywhere. It is going to come back and bring a little snow friday morning.

And showing the system that jim was discussing moved off the eastern seaboard and taking the rain with it. Again, it is going to be coming back to haunt us a little bit on friday morning.

Tomorrow morning for the morning rush hour, be careful earlymorning northwest suburbs could have patchy fog. Temperatures mild, 6 00, 49. By 8 00, 48 degrees. Heading through the day we will see the return ever of sunshine. And the coast, temperatures in the 50s. And the cloud fill back in as it begins to retrograde and futuretracker getting a handle on this. It starts as some rain and then colder air moves in. That will be changing the rain over to some snow. But not everywhere. Really right along the coast is a knevent that will cause snow along the coast early in the morning. And pretty nice day tomorrow, breezy and mild. 52 degrees. Friday, the morning snow again east of philadelphia, 44 degrees. We are looking at the wet snow really no accumulation.
