In court documents, prosecutors said the drugs were the cold medicine Benadryl or some other, unidentified substance.

Former Shkreli firm seeks bankruptcy court protection
Trading in KaloBios stock has remained halted at .59 a share since federal authorities announced the charges against Shkreli. As of late, everything Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli touches tailspins, and KaloBios is the latest to fall into the Shkreli spiral.
He then acknowledged having sexual contact with her when he knew she would not be fully conscious.
Another of the comedian’s accusers, Beth Ferrier, told People magazine on Thursday that the charges against Cosby were “the moment we’ve all been hoping for”. But he seemed at ease, laughing and chatting with his attorneys. “If you look at the deposition you will see that there is no admission of criminal wrongdoing with respect to Mr. Cosby”, she said.
The arraignment marks the first criminal charge to be brought against Cosby, despite the fact that around 50 different women have all accused him of sexual assault.
Not until new evidence came to light this northern summer was the case reopened. Steele’s television ads and public statements were critical of his opponent for passing on the Cosby case. Constand has maintained a low profile since, and little is publicly known about her personal life, but it is clear that she has lived in Canada and worked as a massage therapist.
Constand’s lawyer, Dolores Troiani, welcomed the charges. “I just want him to stand up and tell the truth and take it like a man”, said another alleged Cosby victim, Victoria Valentino.
His attorney, Pressley said this morning that his legal team will defend their client until he is completely exonoratioed.
Many of those alleged assaults date back decades, and the statute of limitations for bringing charges has expired in almost every case. One exception: a 2008 case still under investigation in Los Angeles. The judge ruled that Camille Cosby’s role as wife and business manager make it at least “plausible” that she might have information relevant to the lawsuit.
“It’s coming from that bastion of journalistic integrity, so I’m not really putting much stock into what any of their covers espouse to say about this case or any of the other cases”, she said.
“Despite these two horrendous meetings she continues to trust Bill Cosby and returns to his house again?” he said.
A successful actor and comedian for decades, Mr Cosby shot to stardom in the 1980s with the sitcom The Cosby Show. Another says she did a kind of “happy dance”. “And it’s important”, said Joseph Cammarata, an attorney representing seven women who filed a federal lawsuit against Cosby in MA. Records from Constand’s civil case against Cosby were sealed after she settled in 2006 on undisclosed terms but were released by a federal judge previous year. Castor was seeking to reclaim his job as DA but lost to Steele.
She became incapacitated and Cosby led her to a sofa where he allegedly sexually assaulted her.
That opened the floodgates to even more allegations. Among other things, Cosby admitted obtaining quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with.
Weeks after the decision not to prosecute Cosby in 2005, Constand sued Cosby for sexual battery. He had been mentoring Thompson for about a year, when an unwanted sexual encounter occurred at his New York City home, she says. I am not stopped I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection.
He said Constand was not upset when she left that night. Many of their claims fall outside of the statute of limitations.

Cosby’s civil lawyers have appealed the unsealing, and his criminal attorneys will no doubt fight to keep them out of the trial, perhaps by arguing that Cosby spoke only after being assured by prosecutors he would not be charged with a crime.
