Jury in Bill Cosby sexual assault trial says it is deadlocked

quote:

Jurors in comedian Bill Cosby’s trial on sexual assault charges told the judge Thursday they are deadlocked and can’t reach a verdict.

Judge Steven T. O’Neill sent them back to the jury room try to break the stalemate.

Cosby’s defense moved immediately for a mistrial, but the judge denied the motion.

Cosby is charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault against former Temple University basketball staffer Andrea Constand. If found guilty, he could face up to 10 years on each count.

It is not uncommon for jurors in a high-profile or complex case to return deadlocked; the judge then sends them back and awaits word on whether they have pushed through to a verdict or are still deadlocked.

The judge has discretion as to how many times to send them back before declaring a hung jury and mistrial, though one former Pennsylvania prosecutor, Dennis McAndrews, said judges in that state commonly do so at least twice in a high-profile case.

O’Neil said he was not imposing a deadline.

“I will not set any specific time for continuation of deliberations,” he said. “We will await further word from the jury.”

Cosby was a beloved sitcom dad before he endured a spectacular public fall beginning in 2014, with some 60 women since then stepping forward to accuse him of sexual assault. The Constand case is the only known instance in which the statute of limitations had not expired.

Says right there in the summary, all those crimes he is accused of are beyond the statute of limitations. Though idk if evidence from those other women's claims can be used against him in this case.

even ignoring the SoL, the other accusations would probably not be admissible unless they could find an exception in the rules

The justice system is basically scum from top to bottom

• Cops often act as abusers by proxy in dv situations and are SCUM
• The high-paid defense laywers who represent predators and whose only perceptible defense strategy is blaming the victim are SCUM
• Your state-appointed public prosecutor who makes sweetheart deals with the defense while not telling you and definitely not getting any input from you, who you meet on the day of the trial and sits her fat rear end dead silent the entire time including when the defense makes numerous speculative highly objectionable statements, is SCUM
• The judge who says 'nice to meet you' after loving batting for the defendant the entire time for reasons unknown is SCUM
• The statute of limitations -- needless to say, a SCUM document

Money rules and if you've got less financial resources than the perpetrator you aren't going to get justice, just stay home tbh
