A California jury considering civil claims that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted a girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 nearly rendered a partial verdict Friday apparently against Cosby but with time running out, the judge said jurors must restart deliberations next week because one juror is no longer available.
A Los Angeles judge overseeing a civil trial over claims Bill Cosby sexually assaulted a teenager at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 on Friday denied her attorneys' request to allow a rebuttal witness who claims Cosby raped her at 16 testimony the judge said would "change the entire case."
One day after a California jury saw video testimony of Bill Cosby denying he knowingly pursued underage girls, attorney Gloria Allred asked the court on behalf of a client suing the comedian for sexual assault to allow a rebuttal witness who claims Cosby raped her at 16.
