Michael Bryant / Philadelphia Inquirer Michael Bryant / Philadelphia Inquirer Michael Bryant / Philadelphia Inquirer Cosby's attorneys are challenging part of Rule 542 of the Pennsylvania Codes of Criminal Procedure, which states hearsay evidence alone is enough to establish a case against an offender and hold a case over for trial. They based their argument, in part, on the case of in West Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, who is charged with attempted murder and other offenses for allegedly shooting a state trooper in June 2012. Neither of the troopers who were present testified at his preliminary hearing; instead, the prosecutor played an audio tape of the trooper who'd been wounded. Ricker argued his constitutional right to confront witnesses was violated. "The troopers were right down the street and the prosecution refused to call them," William Costopoulos, Ricker's attorney, tells PEOPLE. Ricker's case is currently being reviewed by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. A hearing will likely be held in September, Costopoulos says. His client has not yet entered a plea, he says. He says he sees the similarities between his client's case and Cosby's. "The victims in each case were available to the commonwealth and these are both very serious charges," he says. "I think both Cosby and Ricker probably get held over for trial if the witnesses are called but call them." Write a title for it.
