Judge Allows Closed Circuit Testimony in Abuse Case
Williamson County Circuit Court rules the alleged 7 to 10 year old victim may testify by closed circuit television in the predatory criminal sexual assault case against Gordon E. Cobb. Judge Phillip Palmer said in court the child's testimony in open court could cause severe emotional distress and hinder communication. The trial is slated to begin October 7 with a status hearing September 15. Cobb faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
