Mistrial declared; Bill Cosby jury deadlocked on verdict

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — The judge in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial declared a mistrial Saturday after jurors said they were deadlocked after five days of deliberations.

The jury informed Judge Steven T. O’Neill it was “deadlocked on all counts” in a note Saturday morning. O’Neill asked jurors if they were “hopeless[ly] deadlocked,” and each stood and agreed they were, CBS News’ Vidya Singh reports.

O’Neill called the jury’s effort some of the most “courageous and selfless acts I’ve ever seen.”

“I feel bad for all of you. I really do,” he said.

Cosby remains free on bail.

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said he will immediately retry the case.
