(CNN) - Jurors in Bill Cosby's assault trial began their third day of deliberations on Wednesday in a case closely watched by the public as well as the dozens of women who have accused Cosby of similar misconduct.

Prosecutors say the famed comedian drugged and sexually assaulted Andrea Constand, the director of operations for Temple University's women's basketball team, at his home near Philadelphia in January 2004. Cosby pleaded not guilty to three charges of aggravated indecent assault.

The jury of seven men and five women were bused in from Allegheny County near Pittsburgh and have been sequestered in a hotel for the trial. They began deliberating Monday evening, continued all day Tuesday and resumed Wednesday morning...

Hope it's OK for me to comment here. We have had similar accusations and trials in the UK which have involved well known, family type entertainers that everyone publically loved :facepalm:

The big difficulty is it seems that this public really cannot believe that such a 'nice guy' is a sexual predator.
He appealed to children, families, the accusers are only in it for the money - sound familiar ??

I could go on but - sure you all understand the difficulties of 'celebrities' coming to trial must be the same everywhere.

My fingers and everything else are crossed for an unbiased result. We have a saying over here "Mud sticks", and whatever the jury decide BC is finished in the entertainment industry TG imoo.

Cosby actually did a Fat Albert "shout out" to the crowd outside the court as he left yesterday.

He's did that a few times during the trial, too

Im worried now that the jury wont be able to all agree.

Common sense needs to be remembered by the jury.
7 prescriptions he got and says they were not for his use but to give to woman. 7 scripts. Thats a lot of pills and assuming a lot of women since he says it was not for him. So no wonder so many accused him.

"While Cosby admitted that he acquired seven prescriptions of Quaaludes with the intent to give the sedatives to young women he wanted to have sex with, he has not admitted to actually drugging any of his accusers."

""When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" Troiani asked.
"Yes," Cosby replied"

Also, isnt giving your presciption medicine to other people a federal offense? Seems charges could be filed just for that. Maybe that is something the attorney general should look into. They appear to have his admission of this.

I have a feeling we're going to get a hung jury:dunno:

Unfortunately I feel that you are right.

I think he will get off the longer the jury is out....that is why he is acting so cocky in front of media and 'audience'. I hope victims go for a civil lawsuit.

Uh oh.

The jury deliberating the fate of Bill Cosby asked Wednesday to review the testimony that accuser Andrea Constand gave on the stand about the alleged sexual assault.


The request came on the third day of deliberations. The seven men and five women have worked behind closed doors for more than 21 hours, and had already made four previous requests to review testimony from both Cosby and Constand.

Jurors listened intently Wednesday as the court reporter read back excerpts that included Constand's description of how Cosby molested her after her pills she says incapacitated her, as well as her admission that she provided the wrong date for the attack and mixed up other details in her initial interview with police.

I can't believe this is taking so long. Very disheartening.

 

[lonetraveler]

Been checking for a verdict and might have missed this, but has the jury foreman indicated that they are close to being a hung jury? I can say it appears that there must be jurors who are firm on their stance and are not ready to cave in to others, JMO.
I do have concern that a hung jury is looming after such a long time.

I really hope that a guilty verdict comes in on this one, and the longer the jury is out, the scarier it seems to be for that (for that happening). If he walks without a conviction, I feel like it is two steps back for any three we may have gone forward.

Cosby Trial: Jury Ends Third Day of Deliberations Without Verdict

by Hannah Rappleye and Tracy Connor

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — On the third day, jurors in the Bill Cosby trial asked to rehear large chunks of testimony, dined on stromboli, and fought fatigue during an evening read-back.
What they didn’t do was reach a verdict.

Consensus eluded the panel as an air of weariness set in. The men and women who must decide if Cosby drugged and molested Andrea Constand in 2004 have now spent 28 hours reviewing evidence or deliberating...

[BetteDavisEyes]

Just heard on WWJ radio (CBS): Jury deadlocked after 3 hours of deliberation this morning. Judge asks them to continuing deliberating. More to come, I'm sure...
