Cosby Arrives for Jury Deliberations

(26 Apr 2018) Jurors in Bill Cosby's sexual assault retrial kicked off a second day of deliberations by revisiting the testimony of a star defense witness who said accuser Andrea Constand once spoke of framing a prominent person to score a big payday. The seven men and five women were to have Marguerite Jackson's testimony read back to them when court resumes on Thursday, after a marathon, 10-hour first day of deliberations failed to yield a verdict in the first big celebrity trial of the #MeToo era. Cosby twice said "good morning" as he entered the courthouse Thursday. Exhausted jurors called it a night after rehearing excerpts from Cosby's old deposition testimony. As jurors started weighing charges that could put Cosby in prison for the rest of his life, the 80-year-old comedian's lawyers came under fire for what some called a blatant attempt to "victim-shame" women who've leveled accusations against him. In their closing argument after two weeks of testimony, Cosby's lawyers launched a withering attack on Constand and five other women who told the jury that the former TV star had drugged and assaulted them, too. The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, which Constand and Dickinson have done.
