Bill Cosby arrives at a suburban Philadelphia courthouse for the eighth day of his sexual assault retrial.
The 80-year-old comedian’s spokesman Andrew Wyatt speaks to reporters and blasts the testimony from a police sergeant and detective at Tuesday’s trial.
He says that prosecutors were using “tools of incompetence to build monuments of nothingness.” Wyatt says Cosby’s defense thinks the case should be dismissed.
A police sergeant testified Tuesday that a suburban Philadelphia prosecutor closed the original 2005 probe hours after investigators met to discuss leads that needed to be followed up.
Jurors heard from a police interview in which Cosby acknowledged fondling his chief accuser’s breasts and genitals after giving her pills.
Jurors could soon hear explosive 2005 testimony about giving quaaludes to women before sex.
