PHILADELPHIA (AP) � A former district attorney who declined to press sexual-assault charges against Bill Cosby in 2005 has filed the beginnings of a lawsuit against Cosby�s accuser in Philadelphia.
An attorney for Bruce L. Castor says the personal-injury complaint will claim Andrea Constand sued Castor for defamation in 2015 so he would lose the prosecutor�s race. The winner, Kevin Steele, had criticized Castor�s handling of the Cosby case.
Castor�s lawyer James Beasley Jr. tells The Philadelphia Inquirer paperwork filed earlier this month will lead to a lawsuit seeking more than $50,000 in damages.
A lawyer representing Constand�s attorneys says the potential lawsuit sounds �legally deficient.�
Cosby is charged with knocking out Constand with pills and sexually assaulting her at his home near Philadelphia in 2004. He says the encounter was consensual.

Out of Pittsburgh comes a story that reminds us that even lawyers need good lawyers. According to TribLive.com, prominent Pittsburgh personal-injury attorney Edgar Snyder, who pitches his legal services in statewide TV ads, is engaged in a messy divorce: His own.
Citing court records unsealed last week, TribLive chronicles the nonstop spousal squabbling, which the newspaper says is going on at almost every juncture.
Among the highlights of the divorce court records listed by TribLive:
Edgar claims that wife, Saundra, left him while they were at their condo in Florida in March. She contends he kicked her out.
Edgar filed for divorce on June 3. Saundra claims she was blindsided by the filing. Edgar says she asked for it.
Saundra claims she's been living like a nomad since March. Edgar says she has stayed at five different luxury hotels charging nightly rates between $1,500 and $2,000, including a two-week stay at a Florida hotel that cost more than $44,000.
He also contends that her hotel bills have totaled more than $100,000, in addition to the Miami condo he says she purchased for between $3.5 million and $4 million.
And there's more.
