Prosecutors Will Retry Bill Cosby for Sexual Assault After Mistrial
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Pennsylvania, prosecutors say they will retry Bill Cosby on criminal
sexual assault charges after a jury deadlocked over whether to convict
the comedian on three counts of aggravated indecent assault. The
mistrial means Cosby will once again face charges he drugged and
sexually assaulted Andrea Constand, the former director of operations
for the women's basketball team at Temple University, at Cosby's home in
2004. Constand is one of about 60 women who have accused Cosby of sexual
assaults dating back decades.
