that's a statement by gloria allred although typical of her. she has no idea what went on in the jury room. she doesn't know whether the jurors allowed celebrity. there are jury instructions to examine only the evidence. so they may have done that. >> gregg jarrett, we appreciate your thoughts on this. and will they retry bill cosby, when we come back. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? say no to this because of my bladder? thanks to tena. not anymore! only new tena intimates has pro-skin technology designed to quickly wick away moisture. to help maintain your skin's natural balance. it goes beyond triple protection from leaks, odor and moisture. so you can feel fresh and free to get as close as you want. for a free sample call 1-877-get-tena parts a and b and want more coverage, guess what? you

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 prior bad act witness to testify against and that was my client, kelly johnson. such with this is the prosecution wanted, if the court allows more accusers to testify next time it might make a difference. it is too early to celebrate and round 2 may be just around the corner. and this time justice may prevail. i want to commend the courage of audrey johnston as well as kelly johnson. and all the accusers i represent who have spoken out, ha

gloria allred made an important point.one of the big issues in this case is the number of other accusers of cosby who were allowed to testify or who were not allowed to testify. only one was. the prosecution wanted as many as 13 women. but it was ruled by the judge that that would be too prejudicial to bill cosby's defense. so going forward, i'm sure that's going to be one of the issues that the prosecution will push hard at to try and get more women, more accusers, to be able to tell their stories. for many of them here, there have been a number who have been here sitting throughout the proceedings, they remain hopeful, they are trying to find what positive thing they can in this, but they are devastated and disappointed and frustrated to some extent by the outcome of this trial because again, some of these allegations go back to the 1960s, 1970s. there are as many as 50 or more women who have come forwar constand's case was the only one recent enough to still be prosecuted in a court of law. so there are a lot of hopes r

another class. >> gloria allred, of course, one of the attorneys representing cosby accusers.'s jean casarez spoke with the entertainer's lawyer about the trial and the road ahead. >> reporter: christine, dave, brian mcgonagle tells me he was prepared for a hung jury. the judge has declared a mistrial. is that a win for you? is that a loss for you? >> it can't be a loss. having said that, there are no winners here. we tried a case for a week. a jury deliberated for 50-some hours without a verdict. but you know, as i've said many times before, as long as you can leave that courtroom with your client presumed innocent as he began, then i'm satisfied. >> reporter: this was a drug facilitated sexual assault case. did you pause at all? >> i never pause when i have the opportunity to defend someone like him who maintains his innocence. i'm a trial lawyer. my job issing to n and defend people -- is to go in and defend people who require that the prosecution be put to the test. no matter what's written, no matter what's said outside of a courtroom, i require people who are going to ma

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 saturday here at philadelphia franklin square park. of course, we saw some rain as well today, too. a live look from the kimmel center camera shows a wet broad street tonight. we turn to meteorologist erika martin. a mixed bag here. >> hairspray for today, waterproof mascara, i need that. conditions for today, really were a little soupy, soggy. we talked about that all week long, and we finally saw it all today happen. showers right now. kind of just a few showers moving through the area. we did see some heavier pockets of downpours earlier. but right now the remaining showers moving across the delaware valley. a live look outside, still seeing rain on the lens and some clouds, thick and soupy clouds out there. we're not done yet. pretty much a soupy saturday on tap. hour-by-hour forecast showing the clearing of th

we heard gloria allred say we can never underestimate the blinding apparel of celebrity. down the road if she's able to find him guilty in civil cases she's alleging against cosby. the time that these women started to come forward in mass, in terms of many numbers tame. >> this was in 2014. >> cosby had an nbc come back in the works, he had a lot of media and celebrity driven projects in the works. >> and he was on tour remember? >> that's right. all across the country in big arena, all that went away in 2014. i see no way that comes back now no matter what happened in pennsylvania today. >> you talked about the power of celebrity and either his own spokesperson says power is back. that seems like an interesting statement to make that comment. >> to some found it insensitive. he said mr. cosby's power is back its back, he and mrs. cosby has been restored as a rule of this mistrial. a lot of people today saying, perhaps that's an inappropriate message to be sending to sexual assault victims or survivors to people who are trying to advocate to make it easier to speak up if

and we've heard gloria allred who is representing some other victims.ust talk a little bit about mr. cosby slow down don't celebrate just yet, it's not over yet. she's hoping that other accusers will at least have their voices heard if there is indeed a retrial. do you see that possibly happening and could that affect everything. >> there is the possibility that the judge could reconsider this decision about allowing other victims alleged victims to testify so that they could -- the prosecution could establish a modus operandi by the defendant. the judge ruled that only one victim alleged victim could testify and the prosecution had asked that the admission of 12 victims. to testify. now, it is possible that the prosecution could come in and ask the judge please reconsider that decision. >> well, and that could make all the difference. >> it could. >> all right. thank you so much linda, we do that appreciate your time and your expertise today. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> "eyewitness news" will continue to follow the cosby case as it develops. remember

we'll have a talk with gloria allred after the break. we know steve.o be in (good hands). the opioid my doctor prescribed for my chronic back pain backed me up-big time. before movantik, i tried to treat it myself. spent time, money. no go. but i didn't back down. i talked to my doctor. she said: one, movantik was specifically designed for opioid-induced constipation-oic- and can help you go more often. number two? with my savings card, i can get movantik for about the same price as the other things i tried. don't take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. movantik may cause serious side effects including symptoms of opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain and/or diarrhea, and tears in the stomach or intestine. tell your doctor about any side effects and about medicines you take. movantik may interact with them causing side effects. don't back down from oic. talk to your doctor about movantik. remember mo-van-tik. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. you're searching for something. like the perfect

plus, gloria allred got kicked out.t's an event in it disbelief eventful day yesterday, steve. >> reporter: none eventful day today? no line today. other than nona from cher she, still first in line. and she just showed up an hour ago. and maybe because everybody thinks the constand's both mom and daughter off the stand, it is not going to be so much drama today. well, andrea con stand's mother may have even, in some minds, on the jury, and for sure in the courtroom, given the most vital and thrilling testimony of all following her daughter's seven hours on the stand of stealth i, polite, vivid testimony. the jury courtroom got here, bill cosby talked because gianna constand went to radio shack and bought about 200 bucks worth of telephone recording equipment. and she testified, and really sent jolt through the courtroom, when she said cosby told her, quote, it sounds like i'm perverted person as he described in detail what he did to andrea constand. sexually, and then, he admitted that he gave her pills, and he just wo

. >> so that was gloria allred.nts kelly johnson, who is, as she said, the only witness to testify to prior bad acts. kelly johnson is another accuser of bill cosby and there have been many such accusers, up to almost 60, according to gloria allred's daughter, friend of the show, lisa bloom, but the only one who was allowed to testify to prior bad acts was kelly johnson, who's represented by gloria allred. and she represents some of the other women who have also made accusations against bill cosby. of course, bill cosby denying those accusations. i want to let viewers know, we showed some split screen tape. and you saw a woman who was speaking with bill cosby in the background. there you go. that tape. that's actually on tape, that's not live. and that was bill cosby's attorney, and she was speaking on his behalf. she's one of the attorneys for him. you can see the attorneys are quite jubilant with the result here. so we're going to bring you more inrmation and if bilcosb himself has anything to say, we'll certainly

gloria allred, kelly johnson's attorney: the point of a prior bad act witness is to demonstrate that's an absence of consent // if the jury believes gave her a pill, that she also became incapacitated // then there's a pattern, a plan, a design. the defense portrayed cosby as a flawed man false accusations because of gloria allred, kelly johnson's attorney: the point of a prior bad act witness is to demonstrate that there's an absence of consent // if the jury believes kelly, that he also gave her a pill, that she also became then there's a pattern, a plan, a scheme, a design.the defense portrayed cosby as a flawed man vulnerable to false accusations because of past infidelities. the trial is expected to last at least two weeks -- cosby has no plans to take the stand.

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 were clearly jurors that could not find him guilty. so it's not that slam dunk for the defense. clearly it's within the d.a.'s discretion to decide whether he wants to bring another trial against the defendant. he doesn't have to poll the jurors. if he believes that he has enough to bring his case a

. >> that's gloria allred attorney representing 13 women that are fighting cosby is civil lawsuits. hope a retrial could include testimony from more of the accusers. >>> as you can imagine, news of the mistrial stirred strong reactions from both sides gathered outside the courthouse yesterday. >> if you try this again and waste taxpayer's money, you will lose even worse. >> i feel for these women that have come forward and i so hope that they don't feel that any of this is in vain. >> those critics and supporters of cosby vowed to be back when the retrial happens. >>> five minutes past 10:00 right now on this sunday, here's a look at some of the other top stories we are following this morning. let's head down to the shore where atlantic city's mayor has not been cited for a crash involving a child. he was driving his work vehicle yesterday afternoon when a 7-year-old girl ran from the sidewalk into the road and the girl went to the hospital with minor injuries and the investigators determined the crash was unaviedabloidablunavo. >>> and then police say a 33-year-old police officer w

attorney gloria allred is with us.s she accused bill cosby of sexual assault. thank you, ladies, linda, i wanted to get your reaction to these town halls that they're saying he's going to go out on. >> him having a town hall meeting on educating on sexual assault. is the same as jeffrey dahmer hosting a town hall meeting on the joy of cooking. neither of which i will be attending. >> gloria, ms. ailred. i want to read to you what the publicist said as he was trying to explain to cnn what this is about. he said this is not a sexual assault tour, it's an educational tour. it's easy to be falsely accused of sexual assault. if it could happen to bill cosby, it could happen to anybody. so people need to be aware of the definitions and perceptions. ms. ailred do you believe there's confusion about the perceptions and definitions of sexual assault? >> no, there shouldn't be. think this is a very transparent and slick effort potentially by the cosby defense team or its supporters in order to confuse the public to try to sugges

. >> i want to bring in attorney gloria allred. thank you for coming on. >> hi, don.these jurors are been deliberating over 51 hours now, they've asked a dozen questions and wanted to rehear several parts of the testimony and what dow think of that? >> and the defense is objecting and objecting again and suggesting there should be a mistrial and the defense has done it numerous times and the court has indicated, look, they're in active deliberations. proof of that is they're asking numerous questions. so he said provide me with a case where i should essentially interrupt the jury deliberations when they're conducting them. it does not appear to be that there is any case that would stand for that proposition, and so the jury is going to return tomorrow early, 9:00 a.m. >> all right. let's talk about some of the questions they asked because three questions had to do with reviewing what bill cosby said and another two are about the testimony of one of the accusers, andrea constand. the jury asked the court to define a phrase in one of the charges. they wanted the know wh

morally get it right >> while he believes long deliberation is a positive for the defense, attorney gloria allred said it's never a good idea to guess what a jury may be thinking >> i can't predict whether it's good for the defense or prosecution. it's reading tea leaves. >> reporter: bill cosby did not say montgomery county courthouse this evening. to be bussed back here to the montgomeryy 're told they will y to the jury deliberation debat. we're live here in cbs "eyewitn 12 people meantime are confirmed dead in this massive first showed you last night on t number to rise. was still residents were -stor asleep when the blaze started and had very little time to get others talked children out of windows to from the smoke and am they wanted soe save my children. >> the cause of this fire does remain under investigation. >>> a lot of people meantime are wonder, if a fire like that could happen in one of the many high-rises in philadelphia. according to the accident philadelphia fire code, all high-rises in the city must have automatic fire extinguishing systems like sprinklers, the only exception i

tonight i asked gloria allred about that lone question the jury asked tonight on the pills cosby allegedly gave to constand. she said the evidence is clear. >> there's no dispute because he admits in his deposition, in his police report interview that, in fact, he did, after she ingested the pills, grope her breasts. >> so what happens if the jury cannot come to a consensus? that is a possibility. coming up in about ten minutes a legal expert explains how the judge may encourage the panel to keep deliberating. let go back to the studios and keith jones with other news of tonight. >> we're going to check back in with you later. >>> let's go to the weather. brace yourself for dangerous heat. nbc 10 has issued a first alert for tomorrow. it could feel as hot as 100 degrees. it will be too hot for school tomorrow afternoon. the students will be released at noon tomorrow. in camden county at 1:00 and trenton public schools will dismiss early as well. let's start with first alert meteorologist tammy souza tracking how high the temperatures will get and how hot it will feel. >> we could tie or br

in the last hour i spoke with attorney gloria allred who represents several women who have also accusedy of aggravated indecent assault and here is some of her response to today's mistrial. >> 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, kelly 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 to testify so that the jury can take into consideration what their allegations are as well. and i say to mr. cosby, it's way too early to celebrate, mr. cosby. because round two is coming and justice may be just around the corner. >> so you feel fairly confident if there is, indeed, another trial that it will be the discretion of the next judge to potentially allow 13 witnesses that, you know, 12 of which that this judge did not allow and that might apply for a different footing of the

>> i think it's going to be a tough go for gloria allred who is a civil lawyer.volved in that process, it would be up to the d.a. again to try. and the d.a. can try, but unless there is something compelling and new, i don't think this judge is going to allow those other dozens of accusers to come forward because the evidence is not going to change. it was always based on m.o., alex. it was the idea that bill cosby would drug the victim and sexually assault the victim. unless there is something new we haven't heard thus far, or more importantly, something the court has not heard thus far, i doubt the other accusers will be able to come forward except the one so far, which is kelly johnson. >> you talk about trying this in the state of pennsylvania. is there an ability to move this trial elsewhere? >> this case was brought specifically based on the jurisdictional strictures in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. this is where it's going to be. the only change we knew about was the fact the venue had to be changed. there was a claim that bill cosby couldn't get a fair

that's something gloria allred says it absurd. >> of course, they would like to minimize his statements about under oath in a civil deposition about his admission that he provides quaaludes or did to young women. >> reporter: we spoke to an expert brendan campbell. his thoughts on the case and calling just one witness. >> putting on testimony is it opens up the door for a potential for the commonwealth to call other witnesses such as other potential victims. >> reporter: montgomery county d.a. kevin steel also gave his closing argument. again and again, he reminded the jury, cosby knowingly drugged constand at his home. she couldn't move her arms or legs or resist. then he sexually assaulted her. he says that's not romance. that's why his office has bought three counts of aggravated assault against him. if found guilty, bill cosby will likely spend the ret of his life in jail. the next step, jury deliberations. reporting live in norristown, bob brooks, "channel 6 action news." >> thank you, bob. our coverage continues. we have photos from the courthouse and of course ongoing social medi
