Another juror in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial came forward Monday — the first to go on camera — and said the mistrial in the 13-year-old case was due to a lack of convincing evidence for all 12 jurors to agree unanimously on a verdict.
Bobby Dugan, 21, one of the youngest of the seven men and five women on the jury, spoke to the Philadelphia Inquirer,Philadelphia Daily News and to ABC’s Good Morning America, becoming the first of the deadlocked jury to appear on camera and with his name attached to his comments.
He said the jury tried hard, some to the point of tears, but were unable to convict Cosby for a common reason criminal trials fail, especially so long after the alleged crime.
“Evidence,” he said. “We all said it a million times in the room. If there’s other evidence, more substantial evidence, we would have had a better verdict than deadlock.”
