Bill Cosby was convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent assault Thursday in his sexual-assault retrial. A lot changed from the June 2017 trial in which the jury deadlocked: Prosecutors were allowed to call five other accusers, Cosby was allowed to call on a former friend of accuser Andrea Constand, and between the first trial and the retrial, the Me Too movement shook the nation. "The pressure to be politically correct coming from the Me Too movement should not but unfortunately could influence the jury," said attorney Lara Yeretsian, who followed the case. During deliberations, the jury asked for the legal definition of consent. (Though some men lost their jobs due to Me Too accusations, fewer have faced legal action.) Many women celebrated the conviction, including actresses Rose McGowan and Patricia Arquette. More than 60 women have accused the comedy icon of drugging and assaulting them, dating back to the 1960s.
