In the retrial of Bill Cosby, the jury found him guilty of aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand in 2004, after 14 hours of deliberation. This verdict came after a previous jury deadlocked, resulting in a mistrial. New evidence and testimonies were presented, including accounts from five women who accused Cosby of similar acts. Cosby did not testify, and after the verdict, he reacted angrily. The comedian had previously settled with Constand for $3.4 million. Each count carries a potential 10-year prison sentence, and an appeal is likely due to claims of due process violations. For more details, visit The Hollywood Reporter.
