members of the prosecution as well. this reads "we are confident that the proceedings have given a voice to the many victims who felt powerless and silenced. we commend those prosecutors who raised awareness that one of the hall marks of drug related sexual assaults is the affect the drug has on the victim's memory and the ability to recall and were nonetheless willing to present this evidence to the jury ." what does it mean for the comedian and his accusers?

he is just spending time with mrs. cosby here in philadelphia. and just happy to kick off the father's day weekend being a free man. >> reporter: "eyewitness news" sat down with cosby attorney angela arguza and spokes western andrew wyatt hours after charges including aggravated indecent assault against bill cosby resulted in a mistrial. >> the only disappointment is that we didn't get the full acquittal but at least we got an acknowledgment from 12 people that there was not enough evidence to convict mr. cosby. >> as long as you can leave that courtroom with your client, presumed innocent as he began, then i'm satisfied. >> reporter: in an interview with cnn lead defense attorney brian mcmonagel said that as a long time fan of cosby's answering the call to represent him was simple. >> i'm from philadelphia. i was born there and bill cosby means a lot to a lot of us in this area. so, when i got that call, i

said yes. >> reporter: in that interview he said he would gladly consider representing cosby for a second time if retried. >> we can never underestimate the blinding power of celebrity. >> reporter: another philadelphia native, attorney gloria allred, who is representing 33 cosby accusers says she hopes that a retrial will allow the prosecution to present more witnesses. >> in other words, it's too early to celebrate, mr. cosby. >> reporter: you know, in sitting down with cosby's spokesperson today we did learn some pretty interesting nuances about the routine that cosby had gotten into during this trial. for example, i was told that the conference room that they were using inside of the courthouse during deliberations kind of just for down time he referred to as his -- as his dressing room. just really channeling his show biz days as way to keep himself calm. >> we did see him engage his supporters on several occasions, the other day a strange outbursts kind of a

in this case. will there actually be a retrial? if so, could we expect a different outcome. clearly jurors had lots of questions during this deliberation process. i spoke with linda dale hoffa an attorney with dillworth paxon and she did answer some of those questions for us tonight. >> i think the fact that the jury had deliberated probably more hours than it took to try the case what you a good indicator that there were problems there and the jury was deliberating not just, you know, seven or eight hours a day but they were putting in very long days and nights because it was a sequesters jury. usually prosecutors know what the break down in the vote was from the jurors. with the judge's permission they can go and talk to the jurors and they would find out what the vote is and that is something is usually taken into consideration. i don't know whether or not the prosecutor in this case does know what the break down is. certainly that's not a public

record to us. we don't know fit. and the decision was made immediately that there was going to be a retrial and as i understand it under pennsylvania law, that means the trial has to pick of take place in the next 120 days. >> and of course we will that continue to follow the latest developments of this case as they happen and as you heard, we could probably hear about that next step as early as 120 days from now. when we aren't on the air you can get the latest on this case online at cbsphilly.com and the cbs local app as well. stay with us everyone. still ahead on "eyewitness news" tonight a u.s. navy destroyer collides with a ship near japan. a closer look at what went wrong and the breaking details about the crew that was on board. plus, an update on the tragic apartment fire in london. what officials are now saying about those who are still missing. also -- >> you have the opportunity and also responsibility to
