Ms. Constand sued Mr. Cosby after prosecutors in 2005 decided not to bring charges against Mr. Cosby in connection with what Ms. Constand said had been a 2004 assault. During closing arguments, Mr. Cosby’s lead lawyer, Brian J. McMonagle, made a point of emphasizing her attendance, calling attention as he chastised Mr. Cosby for infidelities at odds with his relationship with Mrs. Cosby, to whom he has been married for more than 50 years. He said the jurors, who are being sequestered for the duration of the trial, should not continue any discussions among themselves. Mr. Cosby then retired for the night as well, looking weary as he was guided from the courthouse by his spokesman Andrew Wyatt. As the courtroom emptied, Ms. Constand left too and greeted Barbara Bowman, another Cosby accuser who attended the proceedings on Monday.
