NORRISTOWN, PA — (AP) The defense has rested after a single brief witness in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial.
The defense case consisted of a six-minute appearance by a detective, seemingly designed to remind jurors that Andrea Constand had visited with Cosby at an out-of-state casino and that police knew he had vision problems even then.
Jurors soon will hear closing arguments and could perhaps start deliberating Monday afternoon.
Bill Cosby had said he would not testify in his own defense at his sexual assault trial.
The 79-year-old comedian told the judge Monday that he made the decision after talking it over with his lawyers.
Judge Steven O’Neill shot down the defense’s bid to call a second witness, a woman who worked with Constand at Cosby’s alma mater, Temple University.
