The picture painted of Constand by the prosecution and defense couldnt be more different.
He says it points to Cosbys guilt.
Also on the mind of the prosecution: #MeToo.
If convicted, Cosby could face ten years for each of three possible felony charges.
April 2018 is not the best time to try a case such as Cosbys.
In many ways this case can be broken down to one word: rape.
Its a word that Steele used repeatedly to drive home the seriousness of the allegations against Cosby.
In contrast, Cosby did not take the stand in the first trial.
Its doubtful he will take the stand in the retrial.
Mesereau said that Constand was madly in love, not with the aging comedian, but his money.
(Cosby was a long-time member of the Board of Trustees at Temple until he resigned in 2014.)
What does she want from Bill Cosby?
Money, money, and lots more money.
[Constand] attached all of her hopes on Cosby, Mesereau told the jury.
I think youre in for a surprise when you find out who this person is.
That could spell bad news for the DA.
This undoubtedly will pose an appellate issue if Cosby is convicted.
[Cosby] was foolish.
He was attracted to a younger woman, said Mesereau.
But hes not a criminal.
