2 black jurors & 10 whites to hear Cos case

A JURY of seven men and five women was seated Wednesday in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault retrial in Philadelphia.

The panel of 10 whites and two African-Americans is expected to decide the 80-year-old comedian’s fate. Prosecutors and defense lawyers will select six alternates.

Jury selection was delayed several hours after Cosby’s lawyers said prosecutors blocked a black woman because of her race.

Prosecutors fired back, saying there are two black jurors on the panel. Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill said he didn’t believe the prosecution had any “discriminatory intent.”

Cosby’s first trial ended last year in a hung jury. He was charged with drugging and sexually molesting Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, in his Philadelphia home in 2004. Cosby has denied the charges and said the encounter was consensual.
