Suggest that this deadlock could be for a long time. >> ron, stand by. ron is with us outside the courthouse where this case is being heard, where the jury is deliberating. ari melber is with us, our chief legal correspondent. there is no limit to the number of times a judge can tell the jury to go back and try again, right? doesnt happen a lot, but he can keep telling them to try to get a verdict. >> judges push hard, but this is very good news for the defendant, bill cosby. this is an indicati...

Dozens of other women who have come forward in recent years with similar allegations and accusations. those cases are not part of it except that many of those women are here. they have been sitting through this every day. their cases have passed the statute of limitations, but they have invested their hopes in andrea constand and they have formed a sisterhood. one of them is lily bernard who claims in the 90s while she was preparing for an appearance on "the cosby show," cosby assaulted her. she...

Involved. mr. cosby should continue to enjoy the presumption of innocence but our jury system will provide closure. we havent got it yet. >> eric: can they retry the case? and they retry with different accusers? >> eboni: we dont know if we dont get a verdict. they are deadlocked. the judge said go back, and that is common with this kind of case in this much emotional cost at stake. if they dont get there, it will look different if they try it again. the prosecutors want 13 ledgers to testify. e...

Historical paintings on the wall. all the other jurors were focussed in on the testimony. she was not. what that means? i dont know. people are starting to talk about hold-out around here. i spoke to one of the accusers. she was on the cosby show. she just told me minutes ago she believes there is two hold-outs. she thinks she knows who they are as they sit in that courtroom. but the fact is the jury is still deliberating. they have not come back to the judge saying we cannot reach a verdict. >>...

But try to give a little bit to reach a consensus. so we will wait and see. >> melissa: even with just the daily show stuff thats been up there in the media, youve seen it on every news fan and theyve had pictures of all the women. i know its not supposed to, but you would think that it would have an impact on the jurors before they even show up. >> the jurors said they knew about all of these other accusers. thats inevitable. everyone knew about it. but only the accuser in this case and one oth...

You are the defense, maybe you start to get more confident. if he does end up beating it, you hope it is because hes innocent and not because, over 13 years. >> kat: i dont believe these women are lying. >> james: over 13 years, evidence that mightve helped her is not available anymore. >> eric: context here. 20 years ago i was dating, living with one of the accusers. she never accused him back then but she would tell me that bill cosby did do these types of things. i was appalled. bill cosby wo...

>> just frustrated as hell. i just dont understand how these people can read this testimony and go over the transcripts line by line after hearing it from the people themselves and not see the truth in andrea and the forensic specialist. i dont understand how they can read all this stuff and not see it. >> reporter: there are a number of accusers who have been here and their cases cannot be prosecuted because they happened so long ago. there are statutes of himmations. this is the only case he w...

Bill cosby and andrea constand tell different stories about that night. they say there was some kind of encounter. he says it was consensual and she says an assault. there are certain aspects of the testimony that the defense was able to show were inconsistent over the years. remember this happened back in 2004. and were now in 2017 and considering all this. so while a lot of people watching this know that as many as 50 other women have come forward and accused bill cosby of similar things, the ...

Has denied the allegations. >> how many of you believe you were drugged by bill cosby. how many of you believe that bill cosby raped you. >> he has denied all of the allegations of the 12 accusers. there are people out there watching this who know that, they know of the reports, they know of the allegations, and they must be wondering what is the jr. having trouble with here? >> big cosby is entitled to a presumption of sentence, and they have an incredible burden on the prosecution. he doesnt h...

Were kpaexhausted. they were so tired, serious. they did not crack a smile. the judge tried to joke with them a little bit. i bet tonight you wont want to talk. no reaction. they got up. they left. they will be back here today. they had so many questions yesterday. it was focused on bill cosbys deposition testimony from 2005. the testimony from the canadian police officer that first got the statement from andrea constand. credibility. that is what this case is all about. i want to tell you that ...
