they talked a lot about being right in the middle of the investigation when mr. cosby pulled the plug. he didn't have the courtesy to know she was pulling the plug. she found out from reporters showing up on the doorstep. there was an issue where she -- there were a lot of hurdles you had to overcome obviously to get her to agree to this. what has that meant to you guys? how do you think -- >> i'all i'll say on that was o behalf of our office, we are sorry for what happened then, but we got a chance to make up for it. and we hopefully have. we hopefully have, so, all right. thank you, everybody. >> thank you. >> and that is district attorney kevin steele who had become the newly elected district attorney who, you know, against the better judgment of many people decided he was going to reprosecute this case against bill cosby after the -- his predecessor had not been successful in prosecuting this case the last time around, and then today securing three guilty verdicts. guilty verdicts on all three charges. i want to talk a little bit about this with my next guest. the

she was advised at that point not to talk about her experiences with mr. cosbyk the same tact with her so we just talked about our lives and our gratitude for being in each other's lives. the fact that she had the courage to come forward, the fact that she knew she wasn't alone, and i knew i wasn't alone anymore. >> they clearly were trying -- the attorneys for mr. cosby were clearly trying to paint her as a liar, as somebody who was making something up who wanted money, who had ulterior motives. >> apparently that's true. i think that's sort of the playbook when you have a defense like this, they try to discredit the witness or the primary person who's making the complaint. that's not my experience of her. i was telling someone today how much she practices ieqanimity ad serenity and how kind-hearted she is. that's not my sense of her at all. i don't claim to know her well but i do know her heart from the little conversations we have had. >> mr. cosby was demonstrably angry in the courtroom today. do you think that he feels any sense of remorse? >> i haven't det

and the jury looks at that and they look at mr. cosbyand they decide that all of these women are telling the truth and so andrea constand is telling the truth. >> so let me just ask you for the nonlegal version of that. other women who had had similar experiences to the woman who was charging him or had brought this case against him were allowed to tell their stories of their interaction was mr. cosby? >> yes. even though the prosecutor couldn't charge what happened to them -- >> right, separate cases. >> in a norris town, pennsylvania courthouse, he could nevertheless put them on the stand to describe what happened to them. >> why hadn't a judge permit that had before? there were so many women and so many horrific accounts. >> so you can see this kind of ed's, what we call prior bad act evidence is really powerful. so, judges are often quite careful. when you hear mr. cosby's attorneys say we're going to appeal, i can assure you that the judge's decision to let this type of evidence in will be one of the grounds of appeal. >> do trials

nobody will let mr. cosbyet reversed on appeal. >> jon: sounds like mercedes says he has of an appeal because of to testify that was allowed in. >> that would be one basis, absolutely. rulings like this where the judge is presented with this type of evidence. they have to do this balancing test. what is more probative, what is more prejudicial. the argument will say the judge didn't weigh it appropriately. the second part and there's been rumblings about, which is said, because the feelings of tom mezereau, it's been recorded that he was sleeping at periods of time during the trial. if you -- if somehow bill cosby changes lawyers, then he may rely on ineffective assistance of counsel as one of the other bases for the appeal. >> jon: fred, a few seconds left. does he have -- >> no. there was an army of lawyers at the table. they mounted an aggressive defense. he got the sixth amendment right to counsel. >> thanks for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> melissa: president trump welcoming angela merkel to the
