After maintaining decorum throughout the trial, Cosby exploded following the verdict when prosecutors asked the judge to take him into custody, saying he was a flight risk in part because he owned a plane. “He doesn’t have a plane, you asshole!” Cosby responded in a booming voice as he leapt to feet. In “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992, he played the wise and witty Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable, the father of an affluent black family. “The most important person in our team was Andrea Constand,” Steele, the district attorney, told reporters. Other Cosby accusers celebrated the verdict with hugs, cries, and applause.
