Comedian and actor Bill Cosby arrived for a pre-trial hearing at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, where he faces criminal charges of sexual assault against Andrea Constand. The blind 79-year-old was accompanied by his team of lawyers, who walked him from the car to the door of the courthouse. Tuesday's hearing will determine if 13 accusers will be allowed to testify.
