Jury for Cosby trial will be chosen from Pittsburgh area

PHILADELPHIA —Jurors for Bill Cosby's criminal sex assault case in suburban Philadelphia will come from across Pennsylvania.

The panel will be chosen in Allegheny County. Pittsburgh, the county seat, is nearly a 300-mile drive from the Montgomery County courthouse, where the trial is set to start by early June. The jury will be sequestered.

The decision comes after the comedian's lawyers asked for outside jurors because of ongoing publicity.

They suggested a large, diverse jury pool from either Philadelphia or the Pittsburgh area. Defense lawyer Brian McMonagle said he has no immediate comment on the decision from the state Supreme Court.

    It's because they don't have 24 hr news on cable there.

    Jury selection is going to be a circus.

    A Jury of his peers means convicted Rapists should be on the Jury panel right?
