Retrial of Bill Cosby's Sexual Assault Case Begins in Pennsylvania
------------------------------------------------------------------

Comedian Bill Cosby's case is back in court today in Pennsylvania, where
he's facing a retrial on criminal sexual assault 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. Last summer, a jury deadlocked over
whether to convict the comedian on three counts of aggravated indecent
assault in Constand's case.
