The Latest: Media reject 'cooling off' for Cosby jury names
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Latest on the Bill Cosby trial (all times local):
6 p.m.
A lawyer for The Associated Press and other media organizations seeking names of jurors who convicted Bill Cosby at his suburban Philadelphia sexual-assault trial says prosecutors are wrong to suggest a "cooling off" period before the names are made public.
Paul Safier said in court papers on Thursday the Pennsylvania precedent that the names of jurors should be made public under the First Amendment requires they be disclosed immediately.
Prosecutors lobbying for a delay have cited a 90-day wait for juror names in the Casey Anthony case in Florida.
