trial had a rare saturday session this morning and quickly returned with their ruling. the jurors only discussed the case for about an hour today before declaring they were hopelessly deadlocked. leaving the judge to declare a mistrial. bill cosby didn't speak following the announcement, but the d.a. said he will retry the 79-year-old comedian. until that happens, cosby remains free on $1 million bail. we've had a team of nbc 10 reporters covering the trial since it started. tonight we have team coverage of today's big decision. nbc 10's andrea cline-thomas spoke with members of cosby's team. drew smith has reaction from outside the courthouse. but let's go to randy gyllenhaal. >> reporter: you mentioned the jurors returning for a saturday deliberation. did not last long. they were in there for about an hour before they came back, and this case was declared a mistrial one day before father's day. and the comedian known as

america's dad left the montgomery county courthouse celebrating. bill cosby and his team with hands to the sky, as heavy rain poured down, leaving court knowing that at least for now, this trial is over. >> justice is real. it lives here in montgomery county. i'm proud to have been able to represent mr. cosby. >> reporter: after 52 hours of waiting, today cosby held his cane to his chest, listening as the jury told the judge they were hopelessly deadlocked. a hung jury with no verdict. >> we came here looking for an acquitt acquittal, but like that rolling stone song says, you don't always get what you want, you get what you need. >> reporter: cosby goes free on bail but leaves open the path for a new trial with a new jury. >> our plan is to move this case forward as soon as possible. >> reporter: and district attorney kevin steele said it's possible other cosby accusers could be witnesses, but he does

fully expect andrea constand to be back again. >> she's entitled to a verdict in this case. the citizens of montgomery county where this crime occurred are entitled to a verdict. >> reporter: the new trial could happen as soon as october. but this jury deliberated for days, unable to reach any conclusion with at least one holdout, the jury breakdown remains a mystery. >> we have no indication of where anybody was on the case. and i don't know that we will ever really know. >> reporter: i asked the d.a. what the next jury selection could look like. he said once again to look for jurors that can be impartial without any kind of sympathy and jurors that can follow the law. this jury came from the pittsburgh area. we're unclear where the next jury pool could come from. randy gyllenhaal, nbc 10 news. >> randy, thank you. within the past hour or so, members of cosby's team answered questions about what's next for the comedian.

and they're not entirely convinced the district attorney will follow through on plans for a retrial. nbc 10's andrea cline-thomas is live in center city tonight. what did team cosby have to say? >> reporter: they highlighted that it's been 18 months since the charges were first filed. more than ten years since the alleged incident. they said it's going to be with each passing day harder and harder for the district attorney to prove. but team cosby does acknowledge the toll this has taken on everyone, including the 79-year-old actor and comedian. cosby treating the mistrial as a victory. they believe the jury could not reconcile the inconsistencies in constand's testimony. cosby's team doesn't believe they'll go forward with a retrial, but if they do, cosby's team said they're ready.

>> they've had investigators. either way, we know the game plan now. we've seen the script. and when you've seen the script, you move forward and you adjust. >> reporter: now, as for cosby, they say he is home resting with his wife, camille. even at 79, despite all of the trial, they say after today, they expect cosby to go back out on the road and resume working again. reporting live in center city, andrea cline-thomas, nbc 10 news. >> the accuser in this case, andrea constand, did not comment publicly about the jury's decision. but her lawyer said she would absolutely come back again. she also released a statement thanking prosecutors. and it read in part, we are confident that these proceedings have given a voice to the many victims who felt powerless and silen silenced.

the reactions to the mistrial was loud and mixed outside the montgomery county courthouse. with everyone sharing their opinions on the verdict. nbc 10's drew smith is covering that part of the story tonight. drew? >> reporter: and denise, tf a contentious six days here at the courthouse as people waited to hear from the jury. but we finally heard about this mistrial. out here on the steps, there were bill cosby supporters overjoyed, but then there were his critics who went here on the steps. bill cosby fans taking the mistrial as a victory outside court. >> that prosecutor is foaming at the month. >> reporter: some convinced cosby won't have to be tried again. >> you waste taxpayers' money. you're going to lose even worse. >> reporter: the d.a. is promising to try again, a decision he could have weighed over four months. and if cosby comes back, so do these folks and their t-shirts.

>> we'll be out here again if there's a retrial. >> reporter: not everyone is happy with this result. but they remain defiant. >> society has failed her and failed us. however, he is still on bail. he has not gotten off the hook. and he will be retried and we'll be here to see it. >> reporter: the emotions heating up on the streets. this woman teared up as she thought of the accusers. >> i feel for these woman who have come forward. and i so hope they don't feel that any of this is in vain. >> reporter: a lot of those women who had accused bill cosby of misconduct gathered around the star witness, hugging her, trying to comfort her. she didn't have much of a reaction. she was even smiling at one point. but it was clearly a different reaction to the mistrial than we saw from team crosby. drew smith, nbc 10 news. now the question remains,

what's next in this case. you heard district attorney kevin steele say he plans to retry the case. we asked our own legal expert how hard it would be just to pick an impartial jury. >> now you have to try and go and find an impartial jury, not only that heard about the accusations, but a person that didn't follow the trial and didn't know that it ended in a deadlock and all the stuff that came out with all the coverage. it's going to be very difficult to find an impartial jury. or just a jury that's going to be able to say they're not somehow unduly influenced from the things that have been covered so far. >> ahead, his wife camille released a statement. hear her harsh words for the prosecution. plus, gloria allred represents a number of other cosby accusers. tonight she has a message for the comedian. that's coming up. turning now to our weather. a pretty muggy day across much of our region. we found families enjoying their
