Montgomery County Judge Steve O'Neill Wednesday night denied Bill Cosby's request to dismiss a criminal case against him saying a former prosecutor's testimony about a promise he made not to prosecute Cosby was not credible. O'Neill said he based his ruling on "court filings, exhibits and testimony" with the credibility determination of former Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor, Jr. being "an inherent part of this court's ruling." The judge also denied a motion by Cosby's team to remove newly elected Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele as the prosecutor for the case. Castor had no immediate reaction to the ruling.

Did former Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor, Jr. have the legal authority to promise entertainer Bill Cosby he would never be prosecuted for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand?

That is the issue at the heart of Cosby's motion to dismiss the criminal charges against him, which has been taking place Tuesday and Wednesday in a Norristown, Pennsylvania, courtroom.

His attorneys have argued that Castor did indeed have that power – and that Castor's decision not to prosecute Cosby is binding upon his successors in the office.

Eddie McClintock photographed by Clinton Gaughran for AfterElton

It's no secret that we're big fans of Eddie McClintock around here. The sexy star of Warehouse 13 has not one, not two, but three photo galleries on our Facebook page, and had us tuning in to the show long before they ever introduced a gay character last year. The former wrestler from Ohio is loudly pro-equality, with a wicked sense of humor that comes from a genuine place in his heart. He recently spoke with me about the show, playing gay on Felicity, growing up in the Midwest, his family, and the created family he now has on Warehouse 13. He even invited us into his home for a revealing photo shoot. This is obviously the beginning of my campaign to have him in our Hot 100 this year.
