The trial for Josh just seemed to get a lot worse for him than previously thought. News emerged from mainstream media, that the judge in charge of the case ruled against the defense team. They appealed the relevance of the molestation scandal to be heard by the jury. After all, it happened nearly 20 years ago. So, they felt it had no bearing on the case. However, as the kids in the porn vids and photos were of a similar age, the judge gave the go-ahead for witnesses to be called to testify.
