Jurors for the Bill Cosby trial unfolding in Pennsylvania said they are deadlocked Thursday on all of the three counts of second-degree aggravated indecent assault.
The jury has been trying to agree on a verdict for over 30 hours. Judge O'Neill, the man overseeing the trial, instructed the seven men and five women to go back and “try again” because court officials are trying to avoid a hung jury.
O'Neill said he will not set a time limit on how long they have to find a consensus. Cosby, a 79-year-old comedian and actor best known as the friendly, funny dad on "The Cosby Show," is facing more than 10 years behind bars and Twitter has a lot to say about it.

Imagine being told in 1997 that in 2017 Cosby's in a sexual assault trial, Beauty and the Beast is #1 grossing movie, and Trump's president. pic.twitter.com/ToUzsSgNAx

Man, if Cosby gets away with this, let's hope someone steals some of his memorabilia and tries to sell it and Cosby attempts to get it back.

Bill Cosby: drugging women was kinda the “in” thing in the 70s
@fergnerduson
Jury: jeez this is a tough one.
If Bill Clinton roams free why should Bill Cosby be locked up? Believe me it's not

The problem is nobody wants to send Bill Cosby to jail.
@WalshFreedom
maybe the juries were chosen from cosby show
@faihasan
Cosby is just trying to act like he's senile/dementia, but he's crazy like a fox. Remember HE'S AN ACTOR PEOPLE!! WAKE UP JURORS!🤡
@janismmichel
How can a jury 🐝deadlocked about a rapist Bill Cosby who raped dozens of defenseless woman?? He's GUILTY!
@janismmichel
Disgusted by the Cosby jury. They are reiterating that if you're a star, you can "grab em by the pussy, you can do anything." 1/2
@herlipsticklife
They are sending the message that the word of one man's denial is stronger than the word of 30+ women. They have the infamous deposition!
@herlipsticklife
Cosby admitted under oath in a deposition that he drugs women to assault them. That innocence is even being entertained is asinine.
@calvinstowell
My heart breaks for every sexual assault survivor reading this & fearing there will never be justice. Don't give up. https://t.co/xE6KnrOyJL

For those who think Bill Cosby couldn't possibly be found innocent after so many women came forward, I have two words for you: Jian Ghomeshi
@feministabulous
Rich, famous, criminals rarely do time. They'll come back not guilty. No one wants to be responsible for putting Bill Cosby in prison. Sad.
@maremancini
Just a reminder that Bill Cosby won't be found guilty of rape but it doesn't mean he didn't do it #stoprapeculture

If an old man tells you to pull up your pants and you snap back with, "Who are you, Bill Cosby?" it has extra sting now.
@artboiled
Do you mean over-punishing Cosby? Have you read the women's reports? Incredibly consistent. 50+ women have made reports. You may not believe
@LilDaniFruFru
Come on - Bill Cosby is innocent just like OJ Simpson is innocent ! 😂😂🤔
@lisav1023
Hey our prez is a sexual predator by his own admission. Can you prove Cosby did what he did?
@mikeD4187
Because they were fans of the Cosby show? If he gets away with it, then we know again $$ and power rule. No wonder women afraid
