After two days of deliberations, jurors in a civil trial deciding on sexual abuse allegations against Bill Cosby will have to start from scratch on MondaySANTA MONICA, Calif. -- After two days of deliberations in which they reached verdicts on nearly all of the questions put before them, jurors in a civil trial who were deciding on sexual abuse allegations against Bill Cosby will have to start from scratch on Monday. But he had to change course when deputies at the Santa Monica Courthouse appeared and required him to clear the courtroom. The accuser, Los Angeles artist Lily Bernard, who has filed her own lawsuit against Cosby in New Jersey, denied speaking to any jurors. Cosby, 84, who was freed from prison when his Pennsylvania criminal conviction was thrown out nearly a year ago, did not attend. Huth's attorney Nathan Goldberg told jurors Cosby had to be held accountable for the harm he had done to his client.
