that is okay. >> the assistant to bill cosby, and bringing bill cosby in and out, in this particular trial. he did address the fact the da retried his case and immediately listen this is going to cost millions and millions of dollars. i want to get to camille cosby's role in this trial but i want to get your reaction because after that, it is going to cost too much, and inconvenience. what is your reaction? >> i'm attorney gloria allred. >> the defense. >> let's go. >> one of the accusers of bill cosby -- i am attorney gloria allred. i represent 33 accusers to bill cosby, one of them is linda kirkpatrick who is with me today and making a statement. we have with us joel ellison. make a statement as well. this is my statement in reference to the mistrial. we never underestimate the blinding power. >> we can never underestimate the blinding power of celebrities but justice will come. i hope the prosecution will try this case again. the court will permit prior, bad act witnesses to testify as the prosecution requested for this trial. for the trial that just ended, and allow one such prio

and bill cosby did look distressed. he turns 80 and knows it's not over for him, and with another trial coming, another jury and perhaps that jury will go the other way. so, there is hope for the prosecution. the d.a. has said he'll retry the case. but certainly, hope for bill cosby as well who had proclaim proclaimed innocence throughout this two week trial and remains a free man. >> a couple of point. we heard from gloria like you mentioned, she wanted 13 women to testify in the trial and only one did and i'm curious, a lot of folks at home are wondering if the d.a. brings the case again, what's the precedence to make that change? especially if there is a statute of limitations, you know, why would we hear from 13 women in the next case if we weren't able to hear from them in this case. they talked about jury pool, but we also need to hear from other places. >> it's up to the judge and up to pennsylvania law on what would be allowed and what wouldn't. i covered a similar case decades ago down in palm beach, florida, w

andrea constand says she awoke on bill cosby's couch around 4:00 a.m. nearby and offered her a muffin. she says she took a couple of pieces of it and left, his house, the school, the country, and she stayed quiet for a year. d around that cigarette when i started taking the chantix that urge just slowly diminished and it was a great and empowering feeling. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chant

then of course he did "the bill cosby show" in the '70s, "fat albert" and "the cosby show." important, very significant work but i'm afraid that on top of that, there's going to be this cloud for a long, long time that he will be most known for. >> what i hear you saying is a generation of young americans will know bill cosby because of sexual assault allegations. given that, do you think the man, tenhe entertainer, can or will bounce back publicly? >> i think it will be tough. we should remember he was toward the end of his career anyway. he had done some comedies that didn't do so well but he was still performing. he had been developing a network television show. i certainly don't think that's going to happen. i can't imagine him getting any big projects at this point. he may choose to go out and perform as he was doing before but he will probably also be, for a long time, plagued with protesters, people that show up at these things and complain about him and all of that. i think it's going to be very difficult for him to have a public life. however this verdict ended up g

the judge this morning declaring a mistrial in the bill cosby sexual assault case. the announcement came shortly after jurors began their sixth day of deliberations. cosby has repeatedly denied any sexual misconduct. here is defense team reaction. >> jurors of allegheny county for deliberating, putting over 52 hours into this. they couldn't come up with anything, and that shows that this d.a., this district attorney's office, should have never brought this case forward. >> ron allen will bring us d.a. reaction. but ron, overall it kind of felt like things were heading in this direction, right? >> reporter: it did, especially two days ago when the jury first said it was deadlocked after having deliberated 35 or 40 hours or so. they worked hard at it. to be honest with you, alex, even from the start of this case there were a lot of expectations it might end in a mistrial because the incident happened so long ago, back in 2004. it's basically a case of he said/she said. bill cosby's word against the word of the accuser, andrea constand. you have to remember that this tr

and one more thing, she brought her parents to a concert to see bill cosby after this. and jurors don't leave their common sense at home. and so that made the case very difficult for jurors, i believe, alex. >> so then, katie, the judge allowing only this one other cosby accuser to testify in the case, and as we know there are dozens of accusers over many years, one was a gloria allred client. allred cited that as an issue that more should have been allowed to testify. do you agree with that? >> i do agree. it is very difficult from an evidentiary standpoint to get other bad act witnesses or victims to be able to come forward and actually have them qualified by the court to be able to testify. but what, alex, you may see in this next trial is -- not may, you will see, you're going to have different jurors. so i'm not as confident as ted is that it was such a slam dunk. frankly if camille cosby is right and if the jurors believe what ted has put forward right now, why was he not walked by this jury? clearly there were jurors that timed to convict bill cosby, just as there

bill cosby didn't crack a smile, he didn't crack a frown.e listened and we heard it before the jury came in so i think that helped quell any emotions of the moment, of the anticipation of what exactly was going to be happening. >> laura coates is still with us, cnn legal analyst. laura, we did not hear from bill cosby today, but we heard from these attorneys, we heard from this p.r. representative who has been with him for a long time. often after these trials, these high profile trials, it's a bit of a melee outside of the courtroom. have you seen or heard something like what you just saw and heard? >> reporter: allow me to pick my jaw up off my chest from the comments from camille cosby and also from his publicist. remember, the publicist, his role is to kind of be the person to, no matter what happens, to be the person to advocate and champion for bill cosby. you would expect his wife, who did not come notably through the entire case of the prosecution, but did come on the first and only day of the defense's case, make several statements

they were lovers and bill cosby didn't want his wife to know. that's what his lawyer spent two hours trying to stress to the jury. a number of times saying cosby was investigated and cleared in 2005 because the district attorney then found constand was lying, giving inconsistent stories and changing the dates of when the assault allegedly happened. the closing argument was powerful. he's begging them to end this case. he says constand is lying and so is another accuser who testified about a 1996 assault and they say the only reason the case was carried out is because cosby's 2005 deposition where he admitted to getting quaaludes in 1970 was unsealed. it had nothing to do with party drugs and there's no proof that's what he gave constand. camille cosby sat on one side of the courtroom, constand on the other. perhaps the first time the two were together in the same room. up next in late afternoon is the z-rigt attorney for his closing argument. he was kevin field who in his election bid to become d.a. promised to get bill cosby in a campaign ad. he

a lawyer for bill cosby reading a statement from camille cosby. how do i describe the district attorney? heinously and exploitively ambitious. how do i describe the judge? overtly arrogant and 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. . i am grateful to any of the jurors who tenaciously fought to review the evidence, which is the rightful way to make a sound decision. >> wow. and paul butler, she ends the statement by saying, ultimately, this is a medicianifestation of justice based on facts, not lies. as a friend once stated, truth can be subdued, but not destroyed. would that kind of an attack on the judge and a prosecutor wind up having any role in the next prosecution. could that come in, in some way? what do you think about that? >> it shouldn't. although, she's accusing the prosecutor of discrimination, then, of course the prosecutor may

from the defense table, bill cosby offered no reaction. >> deanna durante reporting there. we continue our coverage of the cosby trial with retired new jersey superior court judge michael donio. thank you for being here. we understand the team has been called into the chambers. what are some of the reasons? >> there might well be a communication from the jury. you have to remember, the sheriff gets the question, he brings it right to the judge. depending on now what that question may have been or whatever it said, usually you would call the lawyers back when you get some type of a communication from the jury. could be a juror problem. could be a note that says we have a verdict. could be a note that says we're deadlocked and the judge wants to discuss it with the lawyers. could be something initiated by one of the lawyers that says we want to speak with the judge, and one premise would be that maybe a defense lawyer says to the judge at this point, hey, it's been five, six hours, i want to renew my motion for a mistrial. you don't know, jim. it's all speculation. if the judg

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 he

we heard from bill cosby's spokesperson a short time ago. >> this deadlock shows what mr. sby has been saying for quite sometime that these charges are not true. >> the jury came from behind closed door to tell the judge they are deadlocked against all three counts and a bitter divide every since they started tuesday afternoon. the verbatim

he was denied. >> we're bringing you team coverage to the bill cosby verdict. watch live in norristown. let's begin with drew smith. the suspension just keeps building as the jury cannot make up its mind. >> that's right. and it is finally quiet outside the courthouse after another long day. bill cosby's defense attorney says there is now a weary jury back at its hotel and they should not have to return here in the morning but the judge has pushed back on the calls for a mistrial saying bill cosby's defense team has no authority to end the deliberations. bill cosby leaving court late tonight speaking publicly for the first time during this trial. >> i want to thank the jury for their long days, their honest work individually. >> the thank you comes after 52 hours of jury deliberation with no verdict. the panel of 12 asking to review a lot more testimony today, including that of the accuser, andrea constand's police officer brother-in-law who told her to go to police. the defense and judge clashed again. cosby's lawyer demanding a mistrial. but the judge saying
