Bill Cosby Sexual Assault Case Declared A Mistrial

Earlier today, Americans learned Bill Cosby’s aggravated indecent assault case was declared a mistrial by Judge O’Neill when the twelve jurors were unable to reach a verdict after more than 53 hours of deliberation. While this particular case was not a victory for the prosecution, they will be retrying the case. CNN reported Judge O’Neill’s plea for the jury to not feel as though they disappointed the justice system. He continued by notifying Cosby that the jury’s inability to reach an adjudication was neither a defeat or a triumph. Moreover, Cosby was very forbearing and phlegmatic as Judge O’Neill made his statements.

Cosby remained silent outside of the courthouse, but one of his press team members read harsh words from Cosby’s wife, Camille:

“How do I describe the District Attorney? Heinously and exploitively ambitious. How do I describe the judge? Overtly and arrogantly collaborating with the District Attorney. How do I describe the counsels for the accusers? Totally unethical. How do I describe many, but not all, general media? Blatantly vicious entities that continually disseminated intentional omissions of truths for the primary purpose of greedily selling sensationalism at the expense of a human life.”
