. >> reporter: andrea constand sat just feet away from camille cosby, the wife of bill cosby. defense lawyers told the juror that cosby had a secret fling with constand and he didn't want his wife to know about it, they also laid out a story in which constand was lying. 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. per

very special friend once stated, truth can be subdued but not destroyed. >> that statement of camille cosbyy's wife, being read there. still no words directly from bill cosby himself. joining me is victims rights attorney gloria allred. she also represents several women who have accused cosby of aggravated indecent assault and also with me is linda kirkpatrick, who is one of the accusers. thanks to both of you for joining me. gloria, to you first. your reaction to the declaration of a mistrial. >> well, we can never underestimate the blinding power of celebrity but justice will come. i had hoped that the prosecutor would decide to refile this case. he has decided to refile it. i think one big problem in the current trial that just ended was that the prosecution wanted to call what we call 13 prior bad act witnesses. in other words, other accusers. and the court only allowed him to call one. that's my client, kelley johnson, who was very brave in testifying. now that there's going to be a new trial, i'm hoping that the court will allow more prior bad act witnesses, more accusers, to be able

camille cosby is so far the only family member to appear with cosby in court. if cosby is found guilty he could spend up to 30 years in jails. it carries a maximum sentence of ten years. the verdict could come down any second now. we will have live team coverage just as soon as it happens right here from the courthouse and on the nbc10 app. for now, we'll send it back to the studios and erin coleman. >> thanks for that. a reunion now that is a decade in the making. a new jersey couple's wedding ring was stolen during a burglary years ago. nbc10's jersey shore ted greenberg has the story. >> i can't believe it. >> reporter: a decade after it was stolen, tina of margate is stunned that her wedding band is back on her finger. the gold ring taken by a burglar from their former house. the couple's matching bands each with the others name engraved inside highly sentimental. >> when we got married, that was the last present given to me from my mom which she passed away right after our wedding. >> reporter: last month a call came out of the blue from ventnor police. >>

. >> now, cosby's wife, camille, was not at the courthouse today but she has been there this week. a spokesperson read a statement from mrs. cosby and here's part of it. >> how do i describe the district attorney? heinously and exploitive 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. >> ron allen is live outside the court house with us. ron, with a good day to you. so as more than 50 hours of deliberations dragged on, was this a surprise? >> reporter: not really, alex, because the jury had announced two days ago or so that they were deadlocked and that they deliberated for two more days after that was something of a surprise. but the outcome was pretty predictable and pretty expected. even going back into the trial, because this was a tough case. you have to remember a lot of people may not realize that this case was about one accuser, one woman's accusations against bill cosby. it had nothing to do with the other dozens of women who have publicly

. >> 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

camille cosby made a single appearance. she entered the court after cosby was already seated. took a front row seat and listened to cosby's lawyer explain away the sexual assault charges. the difference between camille cosby and constand, constand returned to the afternoon session and sat front row after the d.a. said she endured more than a decade of this case, then watched as the case she tried to bring was not prosecuted, then ten years later agreed to tell her story of assault, an assault she say they knew was happening but too drugged to stop it. now again andrea constand, her mother, other supporters in the front row of that courtroom as both sides told its version of events here. now, the prosecution has weighed heavily here using bill cosby's own words. he sat for a deposition and he spoke to police in 2005. one of those questions, have you ever known andrea constand to tell a lie, bill cosby said, he's always known her to be truthful. reporting live outside the courthouse, deanna durante, nbc10 news. >> so there was that moment today when we waited to see would bill c

what you're saying. >> the law is terrible here, john. >> thomas -- thomas, i want to pick up on camille cosby's comment accusing the judge of collaborating with the d.a. the judge allowed only one other cosby accuser to testify in that case. there were dozens of accusers from many years. one was a gloria allred client. she cited that as an issue saying more should have been allowed to testify. what do you think? >> well, apparently the judge also gave the prosecution a real gift. a witness came forward and said she roomed at temple university with ms. constand and she was ready to contradict some of ms. constand's statements and apparently it was a big win for the prosecution that the defense couldn't call that witness. if that witness is credible and if that witness gets on the stand and with stands cross examination, the case might be over in a retrial. remember the famous menendez case in los angeles years ago. two sons accused of murdering their parents, very sensational case. the first jury hung and in the retrial, the judge changed all the rulings that favored the defense. this judge coul

he brought up reaction when the testimony -- and camille cosby mentioned in quite a few news articles throughout the trial. did not hear from her today. an integral part of this. >> i want to ask this question, andrew wyatt stopped to talk to members of the media. >> he has to say he will be tried, millions of dollars. he is a politician. 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 mistri

>> reporter: allow me to pick my jaw up off my chest from the comments from camille cosby and also fromthe 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 that kind of demonized the judge in this case. the judge who was expected to hear the retrial in this case, and was accused of actually colluding somehow with the prosecution. obviously her comments was that of somebody who had had a very emotional response to this entire court of public opinion and now court of criminal law. but the most poignant moment i heard was from the very first attorney in this case. neither of them talked about him being innocent, the word did not come out of their mouths. they asked the jurors to send a man to prison for that which was not presented by the prosecution. what they are trying to do is number one, not taint a future jury pool althou

. >> bill cosby's wife camille released a statement blasting the d.a. the statement was read by a member of cosby's team. >> how do i describe the district attorney? heinously and exploitively ambitious. how do i describe the judge? overtly arrogant in collaborating with the district attorney. how do i describe the counsels for the accusers. totally unethical >> let's bring in nbc's ron allen. i'm curious, what was the mood after the mistrial was declared? >> reporter: well, you heard the cosby spokesperson and others who were not declaring victory so much as venting their frustration, their anger, i should say, about the fact this case was even brought. they have been saying all along that it should have been dismissed, that this happened long ago, that it was consensual and they accused the district attorney, kevin steele, of being politically motivated. he did make going after bill cosby part of his recent election campaign and that is something the cosby -- that's what mrs. cosby was referring to in that statement. also here outside the courthouse, t

paul, this attack on the justice system following the results today was effectively a misfire by camille cosbyand the cosby side? >> oh, absolutely. there's something to be said about the idea of being gracious. it doesn't mean that bill cosby has to be grateful. i'm sure he has a lot to be thankful for that he's not being taken into custody today. but the reality is as paul said, there's going to be another bite of the apple as declared by the d.a. the d.a. ran on a platform that included making sure that cosby was prosecuted. he also made a post-mistrial statement, he being the d.a., saying andrea constand, the victim, deserves a verdict. he didn't say she deserves a guilty verdict. he said she deserves a verdict and that is totally true. everyone deserves closure. perhaps we will see it in round two of state versus cosby. >> paul, did bill cosby not taking the stand in his own defense play a role in the ultimate deadlocking of the jury we are seeing this morning? >> i think so. i think it contributed to it. i'm sure, you know, whenever you have a trial, jurors really want to see the person.

one person said they were nauseated by the camille cosby statement. another said, she's okay that bill cosby isn't going to jail right now, she thinks his good enough his reputation has been completely tarn niched. so varying degrees of response to this. as you heard from the da this is about them and head works. >> all right gretchen. thanks so much. >>> still ahead playing defense, we heard president trump is expanding his legal team, but has he become his own worst enemy when it comes to the russian investigation? we'll discuss. you're live in the cnn newsroom. that was my favorite bite so far.

what do you make of camille cosby's statement? : i don't think the defense team wanted to remind jurors she was also a victim in this thing with bill cosby's extramarital activities. she called the media blatantly vicious entities that lie for the purpose of selling sensationalism. i feel for camille cosby. but the media were just reporting the facts. howie: that might be true in this particular case. one of the reasons the jury might have been deadlocked is the accuser in the case made conflicting statement to the police early on. the coverage has been very negative, but his wife is only addressing this and not addressing the fact even if some of these women are exaggerating and making it up, the vast majority can't be. carley: the cosby team is calling this a victory saying his legacy is completely restored. i would pump the brakes on this because it was not an acquittal. and the district attorney said they will retry the case. his legacy is not going to be the cosby show or any of his comedy. it's a disturbing chapter of his lif
