The jury in Bill Cosby’s sexual-assault retrial begins deliberations. The retrial jury faces the same choices as the first jury: Lacking any physical evidence of the alleged 2004 sexual assault, do they believe "Beyond a reasonable doubt" the stories told by Andrea Constand and the other five other accusers? Or did the defense raise reasonable doubt in even one juror’s mind? Ref. USAToday.
Comedian Bill Cosby found guilty on all three charges of aggravated indecent assault by retrial jury. The retrial jury determined beyond reasonable doubt that the 80-year-old comedian molested Andrea Constand and that she was unable to give consent because she’d been rendered unconscious by drugs. Each charge carries up to 10 years in prison. Ref. USAToday.
Bill Cosby, 81, sentenced to 3-10 years in state prison for indecent sexual assault. Judge Steven O’Neill ruled Cosby is a sexually violent predator and ordered him to serve prison time following his April conviction on three counts of indecent sexual assault against Temple University employee Andrea Constand.
