I didn't follow it closely. But it was headline local news in Pittsburgh as
the jury was selected in our county to serve in the trial in the
Philadelphia area. There was only one victim allowed to take part and the
bulk of the state's case was the deposition Cosby gave in 2005 where he
testified he gave the victim quaaludes before having sex with her. Since
that was already established, the prosecution did not have to find
witnesses. The defense only called one witness and it wasn't to attack the
victim's credibility. The question the jury deadlocked on was whether the
sex was consensual or forced.
