The legal saga over bill cosbys Sexual Assault allegations continues tonight. Several news outlets made their case in court in an attempt to get the names of the jurors in the cosby case released. Sara bloomquist was in norristown for the hearing, she is live outside of the Montgomery County courthouse tonight with more. Reporter rick, lawyers representing multiple Media Outlets including abc, cnn and Washington Post and New York Times and buzz feed they all came before judge steven oneil today and argued its the medias First Amendment rights to have the names release. And kevin steele says releasing the jurors name will have a Chilling Effect on future juries. A publicity onslaught and more difficult to seat a jury for the retrial. And jurors would be reluctant to serve knowing their names may be released post trial and the medias lawyer says that could be the concern for any juror in any case. They also argue that there was a lot of publicity prior to the cosby trial and still able to seat a jury. That is why the court goes through the jury Selection Process and cosbys team opposed the releasing the name and lead to all kinds of inquisitions into the jurys thinking and not allow cosby to get a fair retrial. And ed is a criminal attorney and he said he would not be surprised at all if judge oneil withheld the jurors name especially in this case. Think the people sacrificed a lot already losing two weeks away from their life and family and friends and jobs et cetera. It would be quite an additional invasion into their privacy probably getting an onslaught of cant from media and other sources. Reporter now the default ruling is to release the names. That is what happens in the state of pennsylvania unless there is a fundamental right that could be protected. And this may be cosbys right to a fair and impartial jury. And they want to seat the next jury within the next 120 days and issue a ruling on the motion by the media first thing tomorrow morning. Sara bloomquist, channel 6 action news. Thank you.
