The judge in the current trial of Bill Cosby has called a mistrial after the jury remained deadlocked. Cosby was facing charges of sexual assault against a former employee of his alma mater at his home in 2004.

He was facing three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault and a max penalty of ten years prison time.r

The Huff reported:

Judge Steven O’Neill declared the mistrial Saturday morning after the jury of seven men and five women failed to reach a unanimous consensus after 52 hours. Cosby said through a spokesman that he felt good about the outcome, and journalist Dana DiFilippo documented his reaction:

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said in court that he planned to retry the case.

Gloria Allred, who represents several of Cosby’s accusers, told him to watch his back after the hearing.

“We can never underestimate the blinding power of celebrity ― but justice will come,” she said. “It’s too early to celebrate, Mr. Cosby. Round two may be just around the corner. This time justice may prevail.”
