NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) – Bill Cosby’s publicity team is going on the attack after a jury deadlocked on charges he drugged and molested a woman in a case that followed dozens of similar accusations.
But the same judge Cosby’s wife Camille called “arrogant” in a scathing statement after the mistrial was declared Saturday near Philadelphia is likely to preside over his retrial.
District Attorney Kevin Steele immediately announced plans to try the case a second time when the jury ended 52 hours of deliberations in a stalemate.
Steele says his office stands “in awe” of accuser Andrea Constand and believes she deserves a verdict.
Cosby has suggested he hopes to resume his career and his role as a public moralist.
He remains free on $1 million bail, still charged with three counts of felony sexual assault.
