then she heard about andrea constand.ed a case in civil court after the d.a. refused to press criminal charges against cosby. >> i said i will do whatever it takes to let people know that that woman is telling the truth. when i finally got in touch with her attorney and said, my name is barbara bowman, and it happened to me, too. and she told me you're not the only one. i was the third, and there were two others before me, and then i found out there were ten more. >> team cosby has always strongly denied all allegations, but andrea constand's attorneys were determined the women be heard, petitioning the court to allow all 13 to tell their stories at trial. >> all of us were willing to testify. >> but the women never took the stand. the case never went to trial. cosby sat for a deposition, but settled with constand in the summer of 2006. >> the deposition is sealed. there's some sort of financial agreement. >> and that was pretty much the end of the story for a decade until a male comic got up on a stage in philadelphia an

the story of andrea constand. the story of all of those who took that rape against a riisk denigrated publicly, took the risk of being sued for what they said because he had the resources to do it, took the risk of being shamed and blamed as the defense did in their final argument, took those risks and they took the risk so that their truth could be known, so that their truth could be believed. and, yes, the "me too" movement has arrived and is well and is living in montgomery county and throughout this nation and throughout this world. thank you. i do want to thank prosecutor kevin steele, kristin sneddon-stewart. an amazing prosecutorial office. they believed in this case. they went through the first trial, ended in deadlock. some prosecutors would not have retried the case. they took that risk for justice. so i want to thank them. detective green. detective schafer. all those who worked so hard behind the scenes and who also believed my clients. and just everyone. so tom mesereau, you tried. you failed. the per

the defense has caused constand a pathological liar. the prosecutors have accused the defense of character assassination and the way they went after constand and the way they went after the five other women who are accusers of bill cosby, whose cases are too old to be brought before a criminal court. so again a lot of very powerful testimony. a lot of emotion. the trial lasted about two weeks. almost about the same length of the first one. the dynamic this time was very, very different. it was essentially bill cosby against these six accusers, andrea constand and these five other women. the defense in closing arguments said they'd address that issue head on. they said mob rule as they called it referring to the me too movement is not due process and they told the jury to look at this case on its own merits and not be persuaded by what's going on out there in the world. >> tell me a little bit about the jury and the reason i asked ages in particular, for people who may be younger, they may not understand the role that bill cosby played i

there's andrea constand there. jeffrey, to think what victims go through in the pursuit of justice, it is a very difficult harrowing drawn out ordeal. >> there's no doubt these kind of cases where the victims suffered a personal injury unlike a monetary case or something along those lines or an eyewitness to a crime. it doesn't get more personal than this. that's why emotions in these kinds of cases are difficult. defense lawyers went at these victims pretty hard, as is their job. and i think prosecutors did a very good job in marshaling the testimony here and the evidence because there wasn't a lot. there was no dna. there was no physical evidence. >> shepard: it was clearly a he said and she said plus a bunch of corroborating statements from others who said that they had suffered similar fates. and whether or not to allow that testimony, that was up to the judge, wasn't it? >> exactly. and that was crucial. without those extra victims, if you will, i think this is a different verdict. and the court has to balance

in 2015, parts of that deposition for andrea constand's civil suit began trickling out. detectives interviewed constand, reopening a criminal investigation just as the 12-year statute of limitations was set to expire. >> the defendant's deposition showed the stark contrast between bill cosby the public moralist, and bill cosby the subject of serious allegations, and perhaps criminal conduct. >> reporter: but constand's first case would end in a mistrial. bobby dugan was one of those original jurors. he says after six agonizing days, the jury reached a breaking point. >> the most intense moment, i think, was when there was about four people crying in the room. one was out in the hallway pacing, visibly upset. just couldn't handle it. >> reporter: the then-79-year-old comedian walked out of court that day a free man but the d.a. immediately promised to retry the case. >> she's entitled to a verdict in this case. >> reporter: this time around one of the biggest differences, the prosecution convinced the judge cosby's prior bad acts were relevant. the testimony of the five o

and the most important person in this is andrea constand. where are you? there you are. 14 years later it may be easy to forget that she was that first courageous person that stood up in public to go to the authorities and say that bill cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her. her courage and resilience in the face of horrible and unfounded attacks upon her and her family has been so inspiring to all of us. we thank her, we thank her family, we thank her mother gianna for trusting us through this process of prosecuting her attacker. standing next to her there is the dolores triani who were the ones that were asking the questions in that deposition that the judge obrano was referring to that got us to the point where we were able to reopen this case and seek justice. and standing with her through this whole process has been a lot of other courageous women who are willing to stand up and tell their stories about being drugged and sexually assaulted or raped. 19 were willing to stand up with us in this prosecution, take the witness stand and we are humbled b

that was given to andrea constand. there were qualifications, the facts and allegations and information learned in the civil suit would never been made public. bill cosby admitted no guilt. the prosecution talked about mistake. absence of accident. plan and scheme. talking about the other women who would take the stand to say me too. i also was drugged and assaulted by bill cosby. it was very vague, but then the prosecution went back to andrea constand. with her, it was no mistake. you will see when she takes the stand. you will hear from andrea constand. alex and christine. >> thank you, jean. >>> a federal lawsuit accuses three michigan state basketball players of raping a female student in 2015. claims the university discouraged her from reporting it to police. the alleged victim who was 18 at the time claims a de facto policy of not reporting allegations against sports stars. the third allegation against an msu basketball player since 2010. the university is under investigation over the handling of the larry nassar

andrea constand's lawyer was in the courtroom as well. while they were waiting for the jury and the judge to enter, bill cosby was sitting quietly at the defense table, and looked like his eyes were closed. this is according to our producer, at 1:45:00 p.m. this afternoon, 8 minutes ago, the six alternates were led into the courtroom, they sat in the background of the courtroom and then they began reading the counts. count 1, aggravated indecent assault against bill cosby. a felony in the second degree. the decision was that bill cosby did engage in penetration, however slight, of the private parts of the complaint, andrea constand, with a part of the defendant's body for any purpose other than good faith, medical hygienic procedures without the consent of the plaintiff. that's the legal way of saying he sexually assaulted her. count 2, aggravated indecent assault. did engage in the same acts to which andrea constand, for the purpose other than good faith, medical and otherwise, and in the third count, he is guilty of aggravated indecent

he changed the way in which they decided to go after andrea constand. and that combined with the judge's decision to allow the case to unfold differently ultimately led to this conviction on three separate counts. >> erika hill is with us. it was june of last year when there was a hung jury. there's been a lot developing in this #metoo movement over the past year. do you believe the current environment around country had an impact on these jurors? >> i think the jurors -- we do know that when the jurors were being questioned during jury selection, they were asked if they were familiar with the #metoo movement. so the question is out there. often times we'll say does this have an impact on the jury. although if this jury was doing their job properly, they would not let that influence their decision, they're only weighing the evidence. >> they could let it influence their decision in one way, to go to his motive, his m.o. look, there are some issues that will be real issues on appeal ea here. but the judge took a broad view of letting in more evidence on

constand's testimony. not the other five uncharged victims. >> neil: there were allegations and stories of dozens of women. we don't know why these five were the ones that would -- that they would focus on. there was a pattern of behavior that he would drug women and abuse them. the bottom line, emily, they are arguing, the defense team, that this was unfair. after the mistrial last year, they just sort only rammed this there, doing things liberally that were not permissible. what do you think? >> the judge ruled soundly and squarely on every motion. as you said, criminal rules allow for there to be established patterns of behavior. that is soundly within the rules of evidence in trial procedure. that's what the prosecution did. note that the d.a. mentioned his wealth, celebrity around network. they said he's hidden behind this facade of power to so long and we finally pierced it. it was frankly as the d.a. called it, violent times in his name calling and the level of toxicity levelled towards the victims

‘s story, we re very constand, his main accuser‘s story, were very typical of what victims go throught so out of the ordinary in this case. we have heard from the prosecutor and she believes the testimony of those five additional women showing a pattern by bill cosby of this predatory behavior, drugging and violating women as andrea constand had accused him of, she said that that was absolutely vital to this verdict, to have those five women speak. and the district attorney of horse painter be to the victim, but also to those other women that spoke out. many people do feel that that is what made the difference this time around. during this trial. but there we re around. during this trial. but there were five, six of dozens of women who have come forward with such allegations. yes. over 50 women have come forward. and i have to say this was a very aggressive at times nasty trial. these women who spoke out came under fierce attack by bill cos by‘s came under fierce attack by bill cosby‘s lawyers as they tried to defend him. one woman was accused of being a has—been model whojust wa nted

andrea constand came here to norristown for justice. that's what 12 jurors from montgomery county provided her. i'd be remiss if i didn't thank first those 12 jurors for their diligence, the sacrifice that they made and the sacrifices of their families so that they could serve in this important duty that they did. we're finally in a place to say that justice was done. as prosecutors, we have a responsibility to seek justice. we have to go wherever and to whomever it takes us. to begin, i want to step back to a point that was pretty decisive in this case. that's when the judge released the civil case deposition. indicated in his opinion that the defendant's deposition showed the stark contrast between bill cosby, the public moralist and bill cosby, the subject of serious allegations concerning improper and perhaps criminal conduct. at that point, the prosecutors, who are here to do the right thing, and specifically my predecessor opened up and reopened this investigation. that is a duty but that duty took courage. because she had to open

the complainant being andrea constand.ird charge said he administered drugs for the purpose of preventing resistance. what's important in this case in the second trial, wolf, five women, five other women separate from constand, testified cosby drugged and assaulted them in previous incidents, and the prosecutors say this establishes a pattern of behavior by bill cosby. so that is information that was part of this trial. and one thing i should note is that cosby's attorneys are saying, yes, cosby did have a sexual encounter with andrea constand but it was consensual. business colkoh bill cosby says when constand asked him to stop, he stopped. this is a witch hunt essentially. >> we're just told he's been convicted on all three counts, all three counts of aggravated, indecent assault punishable by up to ten years in prison. our legal analyst is with us, laura coates, as well. that would be 30 years if you add them up. he could serve >> yes, in pennsylvania, if you have ten, ten, ten, concurrently means all at once. many are
