Bill Cosby remains free on The Erotic Witch Project 4: Lust in Spacebail after a Pennsylvania jury on Saturday convinced the judge that they were hopelessly deadlocked, but the district attorney took the unusual step of immediately announcing that a new trial date would be set.
The jury of seven men and five women spent a week shuffling between deliberations and the courtroom, telling the judge multiple times along the way that they were stuck. Each time they were sent back, reviewing and re-reviewing evidence and testimony, at one point asking for clarification on the term "reasonable doubt."
But in the end, they simply could not unanimously decide whether the comedian was guilty of sexual assault in 2004. What's considered the best chance of getting Cosby on criminal charges -- which he’s never faced despite accusations from more than 30 women -- will end with the judge declaring a mistrial.
However, the Montgomery County DA tweeted minutes after the announcement that they would pick a new jury and try again.
William H. Cosby Jr. remains free on bail. New trial date will be set.

Cosby could have faced 10 years for each of three counts of aggravated indecent assault brought by Andrea Constand, the 44-year-old woman who accused Cosby, now 79, of drugging and raping her 13 years ago at his home in Elkins Park, Pa.
Jurors spent more than 45 hours in sequestered deliberations since getting the case Monday, telling Judge Steven O’Neill as recently as midday Friday that they weren’t making progress.
O’Neill sent them back yet again -- something judges have the discretion to do as many times as they see fit -- but by Saturday, after six days of fruitless deliberations, the jury convinced O’Neill that they were never getting to a unanimous decision.
Cosby seemed to know a mistrial could be coming. On Friday, he tweeted thanks to his "fans and supporters."
Constand was the director of operations for the women’s basketball team at Temple University when she met Cosby in 2002, when she was 29 and Cosby was in his mid-60s. Cosby had testified in a deposition that he took an immediate romantic interest in her, and the two began a relationship.
She filed a civil suit against him in 2005, claiming that one day Cosby gave her pills that left her paralyzed during a non-consensual sexual encounter.
