Bill Cosby arrives for a pretrial hearing in his sexual assault case at courthouse in Norristown, Pa., Monday.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — The judge in Bill Cosby’s sexual-assault trial heard arguments Monday without deciding whether the jury will hear Cosby’s decade-old testimony about getting Quaaludes to give women before sex.

The suburban Philadelphia judge had previously ruled the jury won’t hear from a woman who says Cosby gave her Quaaludes in the 1970s. However, Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill said he might still let the jury hear Cosby’s own words on the topic.

Defense lawyer Brian McMonagle said the case has nothing to do with Quaaludes and everything to do with the other accusers who emerged long after Temple University employee Andrea Constand went to police in 2005.

“What does this Quaalude use in the 1970s have anything to do with Andrea Constand?” McMonagle asked. “This case has never had anything to do with Andrea Constand. ... This case was brought to vindicate the allegations of others.”

Prosecutors argue that Cosby’s testimony from Constand’s 2005 lawsuit, along with his comedic riffs on the supposed aphrodisiac Spanish fly, show his familiarity with date rape drugs. The defense called the Quaaludes testimony irrelevant because the prescription sedative was banned long before Cosby met Constand. And they scoffed at any legal arguments over the comedian’s Spanish fly sketch.

The trial is set to start June 5 and take about two weeks. Cosby has pleaded not guilty and remains free on $1 million bail.

The judge plans to pick jurors from the Pittsburgh area in late May and keep their names private. The jurors will be sequestered throughout the trial, which is being held nearly 300 miles away in Norristown.

Cosby, 79, is accused of drugging and molesting Constand. He could face 10 years in prison if convicted of the felony charges.

With just two months left before trial, key arguments remain over what evidence can be introduced.

Prosecutors, for instance, want to exclude Constand’s lawsuit, even as they try to use Cosby’s four-day deposition in that case. And the defense, while in favor of telling jurors that Constand sought damages from Cosby, doesn’t want them to know Cosby settled the case for an undisclosed sum after his deposition.
