expected to begin June 1, and the trial itself is expected to last around seven days.<\/p>\n<p>The legal battle comes less than a year after Cosby was freed from prison when Pennsylvania\u2019s highest court overturned his sexual-assault conviction in the drugging and molesting of Andrea Constand in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>In the LA case, Cosby stands accused of sexually assaulting Judy Huth at the Playboy mansion in 1975, when she was 16 or 17 years old. <\/p>\n<p>Huth had previously said the alleged incident h<a
