Bill Cosby sexual assault trial is declared a MISTRIAL after jury fails to agree on all counts after 53 hours of deliberation - but he WILL be retried

The jury in Bill Cosby's sensational trial for aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand (inset left center) have failed to reach a verdict in an outcome that has thrown the court into disarray. The 79-year-old disgraced actor was in court to hear the stunning news, bringing to an end a trial that lasted just six days and a defense that lasted just six minutes. But after roughly 53 hours of deliberations the jury returned unable to reconcile the two very different scenarios placed before them by the prosecution and Cosby's defense. Judge O'Neilll asked each juror individually, 'Do you agree that there is a hopeless deadlock that cannot be resolved by further deliberations?' Each responded 'Yes.' Moments after the jury had confirmed that it was 'hopelessly deadlocked' after 53 hours of deliberation - one of the most 'selfless courageous acts' Judge O'Neill said he had ever seen - Brian McMonagle asked for a mistrial. O'Neill granted it for Manifest Necessity. Montgomery County will retry Cosby on all three counts. Prosecutor Kevin Steele announced the decision as O'Neill released Cosby who remains charged and on bail in this county on three counts of aggravated sexual assault. There was an loud gasp from the court when Steele told the judge that the Commonwealth will retry Cosby - who did not react.
