Followers to help him get off to a good start. I want to show you some video of some of those followers that he was talking about and, too, they have made several appearances here outside the courthouse today. I want to go live to action News Reporter vernon odom. Vernon, you have covered a a lot of juries in your time. Have you ever seen a jury that is more inquisitive in terms of the number of questions they have asked than this one . Reporter no, ive not, jim. This has come late in the proceedings in deliberations i might add and ive never seen one go this long without throwing in the towel. But the jury is deliberating at this hour. How late theyll go tonight its up to them because the judge is following their lead. Almost hour by hour today the jury was in and out of the courtroom with more and more questions for judge Steven Oneill. Example, redefine reasonable doubt for us. Let us hear trial testimony of accuser Andrea Constands description of the night in question here. The night bill cosby allegedly drugged and molested her at his home in cheltenham. Let us rehear bill cosby testimony again about giving quaaludes to women in the 70s with whom he wanted to have sex. Cosbys lawyer motioned for a mistrial saying the jurys trying to retry the whole case behind closed doors and deliberations have gone on too long with no signs of a verdict. Judge Steven Oneill denied that motion. They can deliberate as long as they want he said. Advocates for both camps were vocal outside the courthouse. The evidence that the jury is actively deliberating is that they are still asking questions and asking for evidence to be read to them or brought to them for them to consider. Want to thank mr. Cosbys fans. They dont get to see that on the news, you know. Its a melting pot of people of all different backgrounds that come out here to support him and they believe in him. Reporter so, jim, the sequestered jury from around pittsburgh Allegany County is back behind closed doors. The jury has said nothing today about deadlock. Live at the Montgomery County courthouse in norristown, im vernon odom channel6 action news. Back to you, jim. Thank you, vernon. There are lawyers of course inside the courtroom. There are a lot more lawyers outside here on the street, some amateur, some professional and you talked to one of the pros. Yeah, we talked to a long time former prosecutor who has been watching this trial. He says this jury has a very difficult time. Even talking about the quaaludes. Then you have Andrea Constand her inconsistencies and the fact she had repeated contact with cosby following the alleged assault. That difficult job is being played out in these deliberations. Dennis mcandrews worked in the Delaware County d. A. s office for nearly two decades. If you were the one who prosecuted this case, would you be confident right now at this hour . I dont think either side should be confident at this hour. You know, after 40 hours and after asking for all the evidence theyve asked for, the legal definitions again, anybody who is Walking Around confident is mistaken. Reporter bill cosbys Team Appeared confident yesterday when the jury told the judge it was deadlocked. More than 24 hours later, and more deliberation, the judge rebuffed repeated defense requests to declare a mistrial. If youre going to ask a judge to intrude upon the jurys province of deciding guilt or innocence and stop them when they havent asked to be stopped you better have some very solid Legal Authority for it and frankly i doubt it exists. Reporter mcandrews says until jurors say they are hopelessly deadlocked deliberations will likely continue. The law in pennsylvania is that you should virtually always give the jury another shot at at least one other shot at deliberation. Reporter and this jury is deliberating three counts of aggravated indecent assault but legal experts say with this case, its likely not guilty on all the charges or guilty on all the charges if a verdict is reached.

Could we see the sun again. It will pop here and there especially on sunday but at that time the temperatures are going to skyrocket. Oh boy. The second half of the weekend. As we take a look at storm tracker6 live double scan there is a little cluster of downpours just to the south and west of kent county in maryland that could swing into central parts of delaware in the next hour or so. Really not much happening at this time but at any point there could be a popup shower or a downpour this evening and overnight. As we take a look at chopper6 it was flying high above and up probably noticed that increase in humidity today, moisture in the air and you can see the haze this near the king of prussia mall and also Valley Forge National historic park in that general zone in 422 and 202. Lush green out there at this point so were not burning up that grass just yet. As we look at the heat index how its feeling when you step out because of that spike in humidity today heat indices back into the middle 80s, kind of that soupy atmosphere. Winds still coming in off the atlantic 70, beach haven 73 cape may and the heat index not too bad allentown and reading only in the 70s. Up there really a lack of sunshine while southern areas in the 80s that you see here gets pops of sun from time to time. Satellite and radar we look to the south and west. Theres a warm front that has to swing through here overnight tonight and that will again spark some scattered downpours and thunderstorms but thats really the line of oppressive humidity compared to the humidity we have right now. So as we look at future tracker at 10 oclock tonight that cluster to the south and west could pull its way into the northwestern suburbs of philadelphia a few popups in the middle of the night, you could briefly hear some heavy rain, 1, 2, 3 oclock in the morning. That lifts to the north at 8 oclock tomorrow morning and as we get into the afternoon tomorrow, i cant stress enough that it is not a washout but theres a a lot of clouds. You will see some developing sunshine as well in the afternoon and that will also kind of perk up these scattered downpours or even the rumble of thunder. So, over the weekend it does turn oppressive as that front swings to the north, southerly wind takes over, popup storms both days and the heat index saturday in the low 90s but by fathers day heat indices in the highly urbani zed areas could hit the 90s and relief at the shore. Gary papa run in the city eakins oval sunday morning partly sunny warm humid hydrate if youre going to be at the race drink lots of water. Its going to feel like the low 80s during the race. Heading to the shore, oceans going to be very inviting at 68 degrees but watch for that moderate risk for rip currents. A lot of clouds, so not the best of beach or shore days on saturday of 74. Same thing for the delaware beaches on sunday, 77, a little more in the way of sunshine and if youre heading up to the mountains, youll want to escape some of that humidity, not so much the case. Its going to be humid there as well. Some sun and a thunderstorm on saturday at 74 degrees and oppressively humid on sunday, 81 degrees feeling like the upper 80s there with a late day storm. As we look at the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast a little unsettled at times this weekend with a lot of clouds, some sunshine and again, those popups 86 saturday, 90 feeling like the upper 90s on fathers day and then monday is the day that it will be extremely unsettled with some really heavy downpours that could bring some torrential rain, maybe some street flooding and also some gusty thunderstorms at 86. Behind that front the humidity lowers along with the temperatures. On tuesday another front swings through with a late day storm on wednesday, 85 degrees and looking pretty good thursday, friday of next week as it starts to turn a little more humid well gain a little more sun with temperatures a little bit above average in the middle and upper 80s. For mid june this seems like we cranked that heat up pretty quickly. You know why, because late april into may was extremely below normal temperaturewise. Ahh. So we kind of flipped the switch on the calendar. Contrast. One extreme to the next. Thank you so much. Good to have you with us.
