Arrest Warrant Issued for Bill Cosby for Alleged January 2004 Sexual Assault of Andrea Constand

Source: MSN

An arrest warrant has been issued for entertainer Bill Cosby for allegedly drugging and sexually assaultingformer Temple employee Andrea Constand at his Elkins Park, Pennsylvania mansion in January 2004, sources tell PEOPLE.

Constand was not available for comment but one of her attorneys expressed gratitude toward the prosecutor.

"Obviously we appreciate the expression of confidence in her," says Dolores Troiani of her client, Constand, 42, who is now a massage therapist in Ontario, Canada. "We'll have to see what happens. We hope justice will be done. We will cooperate fully."

Cosby has previously said what happened between him and Constand was consensual, but in new court filings last summer Constand said she was in a relationship with a woman at the time. She also called Cosby a "narcissist" who missed cues that she's gay.

Arizona, Nevada Governors Slam Brown’s Comments on Gun Laws

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval is hitting back at comments California Gov. Jerry Brown made about other states’ gun laws after the deadly shooting in San Bernardino.

Brown said earlier this week that Nevada and Arizona’s looser gun laws are “a gigantic backdoor through which any terrorist can walk.”

The Democratic governor was responding to some California lawmakers’ call for tightening the state’s already strict gun laws.

In a statement Sunday, Sandoval spokeswoman Mari St. Martin called Brown’s characterization “wrong and irresponsible.”

Maybe Gov. Brown should get his state in order because that's where the fucking firearms were legally bought.

Venezuela opposition claims win in elections

Leaders of Venezuela's opposition are saying they won a majority of seats in legislative elections ahead of the announcement of official results.

"Venezuela won," former presidential Henrique Capriles celebrated on Twitter. A source within the anti-government camp told The Associated Press that the coalition believed it had won around 100 seats in the 167-seat legislature.

The National Electoral Council has yet to announce results and the opposition claim could not be confirmed. The ruling socialist party has not commented on the results

Wow, a 2/3rds majority, that's quite the ass kicking the Chavistas took.
