And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Monday, September 24th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning. In the news this morning, officials said a seven-year-old boy died after falling between two cars on SEPTA's Broad Street Line Sunday. The incident occurred on the southbound train that was traveling near the North Philadelphia Station. Two kids and a man were selling candy in between the subway cars when one of the boys slipped through as the train was moving. Medics pronounced the child dead just before 6 o'clock.

Septus shut down the broad street line between Erie and Gerard stations while officials investigated the incident. Emotional passengers made their way out of the North Philadelphia

Station Sunday night after being stuck on the train where the incident occurred.

He dropped all of his candy all over the place inside the train. As he picked up the candy,

he went through the doors to go through the next train. The one witness said there were people crying, people that just wanted to help him, but there wasn't much they could do besides jump down. Officials said that the boy was with his 11-year-old brother and a 26-year-old man at the time of his death, but not his parents. It's horrible. So sad, I know. Bill Cosby's two-day sentencing hearing will start today. The 81-year-old comedian will learn his fate following an April conviction on three counts of aggravated felony, sexual assault for drugging and molesting a former friend, Andrea Constan, at his Montgomery County home in January of 2004. The reason for the two-day hearing is because Judge Stephen O'Neill built in enough time for

multiple accusers to make victim impact statements about what they say Cosby did to them and how it

affected them. Constan and the five other accusers who testified in the retrial are expected to make

statements. Cosby could get a total of up to 30 years in prison in a sentence to be handed down by

O'Neill who presided over Cosby's second trial as well as the first years in prison in a sentence to be handed down by O'Neill, who presided over

Cosby's second trial, as well as the first one, which ended in a hung jury or mistrial in June

of 2017.

Cosby's attorneys will likely ask for probation or house arrest, citing his failing health as the

reason.

There is no mandatory sentencing in Pennsylvania, so the judge can decide within range or beyond as long as

he puts his reasoning on record whatever happens i will not be the end of the matter however

cosby is expected to appeal his conviction which could be overturned at some future date well at his

age 30 years is not going to mean a full 30 years so it'll be it'll be interesting to see where

they go with this though But he could end up in

jail on Tuesday. On Tuesday, yeah. Right. Yeah. They just take them out and bring them over.
