The defence has argued the two had a romantic relationship, that Constand wasn’t incapacitated and that the sexual encounter was consensual. RelatedShe said Cosby gave her pills he claimed were a natural remedy to ease her stress about a looming career change. Constand told the jury the calls mostly involved the women’s basketball team, especially around tournament time. Johnson told a similar story about Cosby in 1996, when she gave sworn testimony as part of a workers’ compensation claim, lawyer Joseph Miller testified Tuesday. The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are sexual assault victims unless they grant permission, which Constand and Johnson have done.
