bill cosby in court. for the second day in a row the comedian arrived at the montgomery county courthouse. waiting on the judge's decision whether the sexual assault case against him should move forward today's testimony came with a few twists and unexpected surprises and it's still not over yet. let's get out to fox 29's bruce gordon live at the courthouse in norristown tonight. bruce? >> reporter: iain, attorneys for arguing this case as we speak before judge steven o'neill. o'neill says he hopes to make a decision tonight. it could be into tonight before this is all wrapped up. of course the cosby defense team claiming this case sex assault case against the comedian should be thrown out based on a promise they say was made by then district attorney bruce castor back in 2005 that cosby would not be prosecuted then and in fact would never be prosecuted criminally. castor has testified in fact yesterday all day that he made that deal because he felt the case against cosby was weak as a criminal case, but

and bill cosby's attorneys, bill cosby's attorneys. >> was it so. >> that is the the case. it wasn't in writing. i will tell what you they will try to prove. for cosby they will try to say there was this valid non-prosecution agreement. bruce castor i think will testify today that he in fact made that agreement. >> bruce castor is again the d.a., in montgomery county back when this was all coming down in 2004/2005. >> that is right. >> what bruce castor will say is there were three part toys a agreement, bruce castor, bill cosby's criminal lawyer and andrea constand's lawyer. bruce castor is only person that will say there was an valid agreement because bill cosby's criminal lawyer died in february of 2015, and andrea constand's lawyer will deny there was ever an agreement made at all. in addition to that, risa furhman, who was the prosecutor after castor, right. >> yes. >> who is not the d a a now because kevin steele is d.a. now. it gets confusing. but she will say if she's called as a witness that she was very much involved in this bill cosby case in 2005. >> she knew ab

. >> right now, 6:00, as you've heard, the bill cosby case goes on. a judge just made that decision about ten minutes ago. ruled the criminal case will continue on the sex assault charges against bill cosby. tonight we have team coverage. good evening, i'm jim rosenfield. >> i'm jacqueline london. with the decision, the case moves to a preliminary hearing to see if prosecutors have enough evidence to prove cosby assaulted his accuser at his home in 2004. >> nbc 10's deanna durante live from outside the courtroom in norristown. harry hairston there as well. does this deposition go? >> well, at this point, yes it does. during the two-day proceedings the judge talked about the fact that this is something that the defense can also make a motion to suppress later on down the road. as you mentioned, the next step here is the preliminary hearing. very rare for a case to be tossed out eight preliminary hearing stage. not that it can't happen but it is rare. today in court we heard from dre k yeah dra /* andrea constand's attorney. talking about the informatio

he says he made the decision giving his word to bill cosby's attorney and bill cosby's attorney relied solely on his word. the judge went on to ask why didn't you write something down. there is a way to do that, a statute to use. why did you not use it. and then after he started to answer that question you could see on cosby's face and his attorney's face how they became very concerned. it was very different of them the way they looked from this morning at about quarter to 10:00 when this started. i want to show you video of cosby entering the court house this morning. the iconic comedian entered the courtroom. he was upbeat and embracing his attorneys before the proceeding. then it was down to business for hours he sat quietly watching the former district attorney bruce castor testify about why castor didn't charge him. at times cosby shook his head side to side as he talked. there were some inkiptcy's in statements to police. when cosby's defense attorney caster paused. that caused a recess as the teams went to meet with the judge in the judge's chambers. currently constand is suing

the prosecution against bill cosby will go forward. the next step expected there to be a preliminary hearing and other motions to be argued including a motion to remove kevin steele, the the current district attorney from the prosecution. the those motions in the same courtroom, will begin being heard this motion in a rather extraordinary evening session throughout the night. a very, very dramatic day here after 13 hours, again, in reaction from mr. cosby. he took a brief break right before the verdict where decision came from the judge. >> what you pointed out is this is not the the even. we could continue with a possible trial in the future but right the new judge is expect to go hear testimony from possibly removing current district attorney kevin steele from this case, correct. >> reporter: absolutely. the next scheduled step in this would be a preliminary hearing. preliminary hearing is to determine if there is enough evidence to take the case to trial, that is a prime case but there are other issues for example, the main depositi

had no authority shielding bill cosby from sexual assault charges and that the government was not put in writing and a misuse of authority. a secret agreement that provides a wealthy defendant to buy his wait you of a criminal case is not right. they contend then d.a. bruce caster's 2005's decision not to prosecute bars his successors from filing charges. caster testified that the case had serious flaws and hopes that the none prosecution agreement would compel cosby to testify in a civil trial which he did. >> there was a promise made 11 years ago upon which he relied and the sovereign must live up to the promise. the cosby case was unsealed this summer and fueled new charges against the comedian. he testified he gave constand three blue pills and there was sexual can't but insisted it was consensual. and his attorney said that he did not freely testify in the case and had to be compelled by the judge and that his attorneys knew about an unwritten process not to prosecute but that she was never told anything about such a deal. >> reporter: about an hour ago the judge on the case said

bill cosby has been a champion of ben's chilly bowl for years. he has shown up at ribbon cuttings, when it celebrated an anniversary, bill cosby was there, and there in important times, there were periods where it wasn't doing as well as it was now. he was there, and he was championing the place. he helped to put it on the map. here it is, the start of 2016, and bill cosby's face is on the side of the mural. the ali family know him more as a saint than a monster. do you erase 40 years of viewing him as like a close family friend. >> people walked by that never noticed before and are noticing for the first time. it could be jarring, and a lot of respect for public in particular. that everyone can see. it changes over time, particularly when it comes to art. when the allegations came up, the meaning changes, and because of that it should be removed. my hope is that it's repainted with another picture that means something else, means something positive to women. >> i don't think that it should be taken down. it's not just about bill cosby or ben's c

. >>> now to the case against bill cosby. today the district attorney who brought a sex assault charge against the tv star is making his case to the judge to convince the judge to take cosby to trial. that hearing isn't over. district attorney kevin steele working to explain why the charges against cosby should stand. >> nbc 10 live team coverage inside and outside the courtroom. rosemary connors outside the courthouse now. what's happening? >> reporter: well, the latest witness to testify is delores, she represents andrea constand, the alleged victim. the one who brought the civil lawsuit against bill cosby. testifying this afternoon that she was unaware of any kind of immunity deal or agreement and that she believes that one did not exist. earlier today the prosecution made every effort to drive home their point that an agreement or promise of this kind should have been memorialized in writing. this case, of course, all about bill cosby. but today he sat quietly listening to testimony and waiting for the judge's ruling abou

here indeed bill cosby is mile smiling and waving to the crowd. he is being guided, because he has vision issues rather than tripping like he did when we came here a few months ago, he has serious charges he is asking to be thrown out completely based on a verbal agreement made and today in courtroom testimony, d.a. bruce caster concurred with that saying he made the verbal agreement and the d.a. bruce caster said today that that agreement should stand but of course it's not up to him anymore, it's up to a judge in montgomery county to make the decision. that would in effect throw out the case that andrea constand filed. >>> there we are on chopper 6 hd and what you see is a tremendous amount of news media that came from around the country and the world to watch this. really the fall of an icon, here in america, and here he is waiving as he gets back into his suv. and it's worth note in california today, one case against bill cosby was in fact dismissed a model that filed charges, with similar claims decided to withdraw her suit. one victory in ca

he is the corporate legal counsel for bill cosby. when you are bill cosby it is like being treated as a corporation, and you have to have legal counsel, and this is john schmidt. and he was asked did you get this agreement in writing? no. why not? because the attorney at the time issued a press release saying he would don't be after bill cosby on criminal charges and we got him to sign that press release and also we have verbal agreements. and he went on and said he would have never allowed his client to testify in the civil case had he thought there would be criminal charges coming down the road, ten or 11 years later. so that's where we are at, at the moment. but we're at that point at the moment. they have broken for lunch now. we just heard that the television feeds coming out of the court have been extended until 3:00 this afternoon, and we're expecting some kind of decision from the judge before close of business today. >> all right. of course there are moments during this trial when the public is reminded of what a big celebri
