Bill Cosby set for sex case retrial

-

US PROSECUTOR­S have said they will retry veteran entertaine­r Bill Cosby on sexual assault charges after his first trial ended in a hung jury.

Jurors deliberate­d for more than 52 hours over six days before telling a judge they could not reach a unanimous decision on whether The Cosby Show star drugged and molested Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelph­ia home in 2004.

The judge at Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pennsylvan­ia, then declared a mistrial.

Cosby remained stoic, while Constand embraced the person next to her.

The 79-year-old had been charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault.
