Legal troubles have caught the legendary comedian is free on bail this morning in a Sexual Assault case and charged one month befofo the statute of limitations would have run out. The criminal charges are the first against a man once known as americas dad. This years dozens of women accused him of past sexual misconduct. Jericka duncan was inside the urtroom on wednesday as cosby was arraigned and she is in elkins park, pennsylvania, just north of philadelphia. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The arraignment lasted less than ten minutes. Bill cosby appeared exposed. Inside the courtroom he paid the required 10 of his 1 million bail and was ordered to turn over his passport. With two attorneys at his side, bill cosby carefully stepped out of a black suv wednesday to Face Criminal Charges of Sexual Assault. Gripping a cane, the 78yearold stumbled on the curb as he was in elkins park, pennsylvania. The actcusationed that landed him here date back to 2004 when Temple University employ Andrea Constand says cosby Sexual Assaulted her in her own hope p. M. Con stand said within a half hour she experienced blurred vision and difficulty speaking. Mr. Cosby urged her to take pills that he provided to her and to drink wine. The effect of which rendered her unable to move or respond to his advances. Reporter constand said she awoke the next morning partially dressed. Cosby gave her a muffin and opened the front door and said, all right. At the time, the District Attorney said there was not in 2005 constand filed a civil suit that was settled but they decided to reopen the case in which the judge reveals dozens of depositions in which cosby admitted to giving drugs to women. Constands attorney asked the following question. Cosby replied, yes. He later said he misunderstood the question. Monique presley is cosbys attorney. Its sad for his legal team, for his family that he would be dragged through this. We are 12 years in. Twelve years after an alleged assault. That was fully investigated. Reporter for victoria value valentino valentino, the charges offer vindication. I pretty much had given up on justice prevailing. It just means that people have been listening to us, they have reporter cosby only shook his head at reporters as he left the courthouse wednesday. What do you have to say, sir . Reporter with helicopters and cameras following his every move, he was then taken to a local jail to be fingerprinted and booked. Cosby is due back in Court Next Month for a preliminary hearing. If he is convicted, he could face up to ten years in prison and a 25,000 dollar fine. Jeff . Cosbys attorney Monique Presley is with us from washington. Thank you for being with us. Good morning. What was your clients reaction when he heard he was being charged . This didnt come as any surprise to us. We have been cooperating with the Montgomery County d. A. s office since we learned of the charges initially. They are saying there is significant evidence in this testimony that was unsealed by e judge. Well, everyone can see that testimony. Available, as well as all others. You know that this was deposition testimony that was the subject of a confidentiality agreement and was supposed to remain sealed, but, instead, not just the portions that were improperly released based on the judges decision, but also the information that was illegally gained through the release of a Court Reporter to entify. However, he does admit to buying quaaludes to use on women, obtaining these quaaludes to use on women. How are you going to defend that in court . Now, why would we have to defend that in court . That is an admission he makes about offering quaaludes to two specific individuals in the 1970s. Even being made any more. They are are literally off the market. Its not something that could even be obtained and im certain even this hungry dachlt trying to keep a Campaign Promise isnt going to assert that cosby has somewhere hiding in his medicine cabinet quaaludes that are 30, 40, almost 50 years old and that was being offered to Andrea Constand many years ago. Many women have accused were client of simimar acts regarding Sexual Assault. And that is incorrect. More than 50 women have not accused my client of similar acts. Its easy for people likeyour selves to say women have done that but that is not true. Many are coming through the press to say mr. Cosby sexually assaulted them and many of them have the exact same stories. How do you plan to defend that in court or will you try to stop court . It certainly isnt admissible in court. 50 women have come forward and saying they did not have the same story. Some of them say he rubbed against them or in front of their breasts at a party is not saying they were in an ongoing consensual relationship and affidavits saying i believe i was drugged. They arent the same thing. What this d. A. Has to do is prove the facts of this case. You know the prosecutors saying the judge allowed previous evidence from other cases. You have to be prepared for that. Well, there arent previous other cases. What you mean there are allegations as you know and a wide range of allegations as you know. Yes. And those are all allegations for which is there no corroborating evidence. Allegations from decades ago, allegations foromen who never bothered to go in and make a complaint to police and in most another living soul. If a judge chooses to consider from a prosecutor such testimony, then we will deal with that at that time. He took a kanecane with him to court. Is his Current Health status part of your defense . His Current Health status doesnt have anything to do with the defense for this unsubstantiated charge. His Current Health status is that he is a 78yearold man who they have chosen to charge. That is not a defense to a crime. Thats just a fact. Thank you. Thank you. The mother of a texas teenager involved in a socalled affluenza says is back in the u. S. Tonya couch landed at los angeles internet overnight and accused of fleeing the country with her fugitive son ethan couch after a deadly driving crash is still in mexico.

Order to stop the proceedings. Reporter mexican official deported tonya couch for being in the country illegally and ethan couch is going through a process that could keep him there for several weeks. The couchs have Legal Counsel and it seems to me if they wanted to, they could pay them as much money they want to to drag this out as long as they want to. Reporter earlier this week Surveillance Video obtained by cbs news captured the pair in Puerto Vallarta before they were taken into custody. Couch killed four people in a drunk driving accident in 2015. His defense say he suffered from affluenza and saying it was from a his privileged upbringing.

Parts of the midwest are under mandatory evacuation orders this morning out of potential flooding. Already the rising water is blamed for 20 deaths in missouri andd illinois. Many rivers are expected t t crest today at record levels. More than a dozen levees are threatened and anna werner is in arnold, missouri, south of st. Louis, where the major high was just closed. Reporter yes, a short while ago, officials introduced that interstate 55 is shut down because of flooding. If you add that with other highways that are closed, that means there is literally only one route between two counties here. Hopefully, that one will be preserved. But take a look what we are seeing this morning. This is much higher, this water, this is the Merrimack River overflow. The river is a long way that way. This water is much higher than what we saw here yesterday.

The flooding has killed more than a dozen people in missouri, submerging homes, bridges, and prompting dozens of rescues. They are my neighbors. We have done everything we can and we still cant beat it. Reporter in arnold, they are preparing for the worst flooding their efforts may not be enough. We are to the point now that the sandbagging, its not going to hold it back. We are going to lose probably anywhere from a hundred to 150 homes that will be affected by this flood, if not more. Reporter along the banks of the merrimack in valley park, more than 300 families were ordered to evacuate because the water could breach a levee. They say that the water is going down . No way reporter the Severe Weather has killed another five people in oklahoma. In the carolinas, floodwaters have torn through roads and forced swift water rescues and evacuations. Well, some people have lost power as the flooding has continued. And guess what.

Our local cbs station was saying for them to get home from work last night. So its a major mess here and the rivers continue to rise and throughout the day. Anna werner, we hope for the best.

A buoy neaeathe top of the world recorded temperatures that that is 50 degrees above average for late december. We want to go back now to the bill cosby case. It is theirst criminal charge filed against him. Cosby is accused of drugging and groping a woman in 2004. The 78yearold seemed frail as he made his way into court on wednesday. He carried a cane and stumbled on a curb. Cbs news legal expert Rikki Klieman is with us now. She is a former prosecutor and a defense attorney. Good morning. We heard his defenseton pretty much shrug off the issue about obtaining the quaaludes that he admitted in his deposition, said that she didnt need to defend that. Do you agree with that . I think what you have in his defense lawyers are great lawyers who are really fierce advocates and doing what they should be doing now. When you look at the quaalude issue, the deposition that became public in july from a complaining witness, this alleged victim Andrea Constand, does not say that he sexually assaulted her by the use of drugs. What it does say is that he did get quaaludes to use with women for sex. Now, that takes us in a whole, what the lawyers would call a frolic of their own. That is not a facetious comment but a lawyer comment. Because back in the 70s and 80s, quaaludes were oftenen used by consenting adults so that is what this lawyer is talking about. However, i think the quaaludes are least of anyones worries when defending bill cosby today because there is so much else that the cosby lawyers have got to attempt to keep out of evidence, and what about all those prospective jurors have kind of sexual conduct. Is that an issue . I think its an issue because you have to have people who have not heard of this or people who simply say ive heard about all of this but i can cast it aside. It is very hard to cast aside the notion that there are 40 or 50 other women out there. It even came up in your interview with the lawyer, because the vast majority of the public believes that all of these other alleged victims are people who suffered exactly the same fate that this woman, Andrea Constand, said she suffered, even though the details may be different. And, by the way, the devil is in the details here. So youre a defense lawyer in this case. If you are the defense lawyer, what do you have to do . 2016 is going to be the year of motions in this case. The defense has got to be fast and furious and slow and deliberate all at the same time. Every single thing that they do got to go to the court early and say keep it out. Try the numbers. Only what happened between Andrea Constand and bill cosby. One of the things that makes this case so interesting two cases here. The wider umbrella case with all of the allegations from all of the other women and the particulars of this case. Monique presley doesnt want to talk about any other women right now. Of course, she doesnt. The question is how much do they have to . The real question is how this judge will rule. A conservative judge would like to get a conviction that does not get reversed on appeal. So will a conservative judge say im keeping out what we call all of the prior bad acts and all of the other alleled victims and only let that in should mr. Cosby testify, or will a more open judge say, hey, its a common scheme plan and its all going in. My suspicion we may be talking to you more about this case in 2016. Im keeping the file. Rikki klieman, thank you very much. Happy year. Activists are applauding a new law signed by president obama this week. It outlaws microbeads that are used in personal care products. Demarco morgan shows us how the particles making us clean are making the rivers dirty. Reporter it is known as the microbead free water asked and passed congress by bipartisan support and to eliminate tiny plastics many of us use every day.

Reporter he found microbeads in the San Francisco bay and in high concentrations in the great lakes. Not all Water Treatment plants are able to filter them out. They are absorbing industrial chemicals, pest sides from farms and even oil drops from cars will stick to these micro plastics and microbeads. At that point, they can enter the food chain. Reporter a single cosmetic product can contain up to 300,000 nonbiodegradable microbeads. In september they were banned. Assembly member is thrilled that congress is following californias lead. Its very significant, because youre going to have 50 states doing the same thing.

Bill cosbys lawyers says, this morning, the comedian will be cleared of Sexual Assault charges. Cosby is free on bail after wednesdays court hearing. His attorneys walked the entertainer into the courthouse more than 50 women have accused cosby of some kind of sexual misconduct. Now, this case focuses on former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. The complaint says cosby invited her to his home in 2004 to discuss her future career plans. He gave her three blue pills and within a half hour constand said her legs felt rubbery and like jael. She could not see clearly because everything had become dizzy. Investigators reopened this case after a judge unsealed portions of depositions early this year. In them, cosby admitted to obtaining drugs to give to women. We asked cosbys attorney about that earlier this morning. He does admit to buying quaaludes to use on women, obtaining these quaaludes to use in court . Now, why would we have to defend that in court . That is an admission that he makes about offering quaaludes to two specific individuals in the 1970s. Ten years ago, quaaludes werent even being made any more. They are literally off the market. Its not something that could even be obtained. Im certain even this hungry d. A. Trying to keep a Campaign Promise isnt going to assert that mr. Cosby has had hiding somewhere in his medicine cabinet quaalude that with 30, 40, almost 50 years old and that is what was offered to Andrea Constand on the evening in question many, many years ago. Cosby now 78 years old and faces up to ten years in prison and a 25,000 dollar fine if convicted. This morning, Los Angeles Police are holding the mother of the texas teenager involved in a socalled affluenza case. Tonya couch was taken out of l. A. International airport in handcuffs by u. S.

Millions of us this morning are deciding what changes to make in the coming year. But Research Shows that 36 of the people will break their new years rgs byesolutions by the end of january and 56 by the end of how do we set ourselves up for success with the odds stacked against us . The New York Times science columnist john tierney is author of willpower. Thank you for joining us. You say we start out with the best of intentions but with the worst of strategies. How do we do this . People, too often, overdo it and they overestimate their own will willpower. The first bit of advice is make one new years resolution and focus on that and after you do that, do neighbor something else. Maybe i dont want to lose week . You should set specific goals instead of saying i want to save money or i want to lose weight, exactly say that i want to save 200 a month and one poundnd a week. After you set that one very clear specific goal, you have to monitor yourself. That is really as important as setting the goal. So that if you want to spend less money, keep track of it every week. If you want to lose weight, get that is one of the few clinicalal proven ways for losing weight. Baby steps . Exactly. If you overestimate your own willpower can you get help from other people . Does that help . Outsourcing and selfcontrol and controlling your willpower is the key. Science used to think willpower was a metaphor. What they found is really is this form of Mental Energy and it gets depleted as you exert selfcontrol and resist temptation and gets depleted as you make decisions. There is a condition called a decision fatigue and that is we wrote about it in our book. Two executives, barack obama and Mark Zuckerberg of facebook, they both resolve to try to try to eliminate small decisions from their lives so they both started wearing the same thing to work every day. One of them would wear a dark suit and the other would wear a gray tshirt. You compartmentalize . Exactly. That leaves them with more energy with more willpower for the rest of the stuff in their lives. We can learn from people who have good selfcontrol because they use less willpower. Exactly. When they track k ople throughout the day they found the most disciplined people use less willpower than other people because they structure their lives to avoid temptations. They dont go all you can eat buffets or keep a bowl of candy under their desk. All of us can do that. Instead of getting up every morning and deciding whether or not youre going to work out, you can schedule a workout with your friends and then that way you have to show up to do it and its not a decision that leaves you with a little more willpower or go to bed in your workout clothes. You wake up and you have to go exactly. You talk about candy. One experiment that you willpower with a bowl of m ms. What happened . Some were told they couldnt have any m ms at all and some said you can have these and just not now. A clever experiment they did the experiment and left them in the bowl afterwards and thinking the experiment was over. They found people who had told themselves im not going to have it now but i can have it later, those people were the best at resisting the m ms because that is a strategy when the dessert cart comes around, you know . Right. Dont say im never having that again. Just say not tonight, ill have it the next time. Maybe one bite if you can hold back, right . Yes. You say that social media and online rousesources can be helpful for people. Keeping track of yursourself is one thing but a lot ofppears that will do the grunt work for you. You can post results at facebook groups and people are watching what you do. You can tweet stuff. Great appears on a website called the quantified self that will monitor how many steps you youre burning and then websites you can actually post your new years resolution and have someone monitor it for you and there could be a financial penalty when you lapse. The point is that youre putting it out there. Right. Youre saying, okay, im going to do this and then you sort of feel like, boy, if i dont do it im disappointing a lot of people. Have you people enforcing and they are using their willpower to make you do something and youre outsourcing that selfcontrol. Do you have a resolution . Oh, please. My list is like 50. Just one, just one just one next 15 minutes we will all come up with our resolution. Can we meet back here next year to see h h we do . Fail. John tierney, thank you for joining us.

Give it to me im worth it baby im worth it star wars the force awakens is lifting hollywood to its best year in box office history. The studio has sold 11 billion worth of tickets in 2015. The seventh episode of the franchise could move to number two this weekend on the list of highest domestic grossing movies of all time. Awakens trails four films. But this mornings box Office Conversation goes beyond the block busters. The Golden Globe Awards are less than two weeks away. Carol leads the film categories with five nominations and followed by the big short and steve jobs all with four and revenant. Dana stevens is with here along with matt singer who is managing editor and film critic for screen crush. 2015 is part of 2016 because sgars is still killing it at the box office. No spoilers but til lives up to the hype. The stars are at war, we will say that much. The stars are at war but as george lucas pointed out yesterday its not about spaceships but its about family. 38 years, is that how long since the first one . Rings those same bells again and i think its nostalgic for fans who loved it back then and creates a franchise for new viewers and lets ussus forget about the early sequels that george lucas created. Will it go past avi astar . I think so. I was seeing a picture in seattle had a sign up we are sold out through january for star wars. So i think its not going to be very long before it is the alltime grocer, at least domestically. Its a huge, huge hit. It probably with win this weekend, right . By this weekend the number one movie of 2015. Does it enter the best picture conversation at all . Its a good movie. A good question. Now they have expanded that popular storms Like Star Wars space. Carol has the no golden globe nominations. That was my favorite single movie of the year and im happy and its getting rewards recognition but doesnt seem like oscar nomination to me because of the force awakens. I think the Golden Globes have recognized that and critic groups have recognized that. A big year for women on screen. I was thinking about making this my top ten list this year. When i looked at who was making the movies, only two of them have been directed by a woman. I dont think there are any big nominees out there for the oscars that are directed by women, right . No. No woman up for best director. Presumably, yeah. Thats a hurdle that still has to be cleared for sure. Spotlight has gotten attention and a lot of people love it. Is it the frontrunner for best picture . I would think so. To me it has the most thing voters tend to look for in a best picture winner. Great ensemble and great actors and great screen play and its about something. Star wars is great, we love it but i think its the kind of movie that voters can vote to and say hollywood can do more than star wars and do more than super heroes and make a movie that is interesting and compelling but also important and it has a story that has some real value and some substance to it and movies tend to win best picture. Especially behind the scenes and through every step of what it takes to create the story which may be on paper doesnt sound so sexy. Its true. It isnt the kind of movie that is and really grabs you on paper. But then you watch it and it is so compelling. You know the outcome of the story too. That is the amazing thing is that youre watching it and you know the ending and youre still so invested. Quinton tarantinos movie. Is it out . I think its just coming out now on wide release. That is getting a lot of attention. Has gotten a lot of attention for a while as all of quinton tarantinos movies get. Its cinematically smashing. I suggest you see it the road version they say is old school with an intermission and overture. Its very violent and very gory. If you like tarantino you probably should see it but its very stomach churning. I liked it and it is a movie. Feel like in an age people are not watching theaters in the movie as much and watching them on their phones and ipads. This is an event and harkens back to a time when movies were big, right . You could see this movie on your ipad but youre going to be missing a lot because its three hours long and overture and an intermission and made twice as big and you need to see it in a theater. Is a great example of the movie that really marries kind of popular art and audience appeal with just beautiful crafts, incredible practical stunts and wonderful special effects. And nonstop craziness. On the subject of stomach turning, leo dahicaprio. Very little dialogue for leo. If you count aarrgghh dialogue, there is. But youre right. A lot of grunting and groaning thats true. He grunts with the best of them lets just say that. If there was an oscar for best grunting he would be a lock for the century for sure. Can we t tk about one that made my heart melt and i cried in front of my children inside out . I cried too. Ill say it. I cried. Lets not we talk about i too much, i might start crying again. It was a sweet movie. Do you think this one will come up at all . Chances are in the best animated category and that is going to be interesting category because another wonderful movie this year named anoma lisa i loved as well and i feel those two are fighting it out in that category. Very different movies. Couldnt be more different. Two or three movies youre looking forward to in 2016 . The new Cohen Brothers movie hail seize youre that is a hollywood comedy. Dana . Pixar, finding nemo sequel called finding dori. We will be crying about that one as well. Batman, superman. Thank you both. Thanks.
