After more than four days and 30 hours of deliberation, the jury in the sexual assault case against Bill Cosby has not reached a verdict. The deadlock could result in a hung jury. We ask what that means for both Cosby and Andrea Constand.
Comedian. Beloved television star. “America’s Dad.” Accused sexual predator. In June 2017, Bill Cosby faces a jury that will determine whether he’s guilty or not of drugging and sexually assaulting one of more than 60 women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. Cosby Unraveled, a podcast from WHYY, explores Cosby’s beginnings in the projects of North Philadelphia, the heights of his influence, and the causes of his downfall.
