Bill Cosby and his lawyers were denied a request for a retrial in the sexual assault case tied to an incident from the 1970s at the Playboy Mansion, according to a ruling from a Los Angeles Superior Court judge from Tuesday.
“Cosby has failed to establish he received an unfair trial or that insufficient evidence existed to establish his liability for Plaintiff’s harm,” Judge Craig Karlan said in the ruling. The court had heard arguments at the Santa Monica Courthouse on Sept. 23.
Cosby in June lost a lawsuit brought by plaintiff Judy Huth, who had alleged that Cosby sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion in 1975, when she was 16 years old. Huth claimed that Cosby instructed her to say that she was 19 if anyone asked. The actor and comedian was previously deposed in the case in October 2014.

The city that bills itself as "The Heart of Screenland" has enacted changes to its tax structure in an effort to attract more film and television production business. On Feb. 8, Culver City suspended a business tax that production companies filming at studios in the city had long been required to pay. The suspension of the tax will last five years.
The measure was approved unanimously at the Feb. 7 City Council meeting and is seen by councilmembers as a way to even the playing field for studios in the city that compete for business with production facilities in other Southern California cities and states across the country. Both Sony Pictures Studios and Culver Studios are located in the city, which gained its "Heart of Screenland" motto due to the countless films and television programs filmed there over the years.
