On day three of Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial, the comedian’s defence team attempted to paint his accuser as inconsistent, and their relationship as consensual – even romantic. Mr Cosby is accused of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, the former head of the women’s basketball program at Temple University, at his Pennsylvania home in 2004. Ms Constand is the only one of more than 50 of Mr Cosby's accusers who has secured a trial.
The district is holding a special runoff election between Ms Handel and Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff to fill the seat left vacant when Republican Tom Price was appointed by Donald Trump to be the Secretary of Health and Human services. The opponents were asked to comment on the minimum wage in Georgia, which is currently $5.15 per hour. According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Living Wage Calculator, people working 40 hours a week in the sixth district should make a minimum of $12.01 in order to not have “trouble making ends meet,” with Mr Ossoff saying that that is the exact problem many in the district face.
