NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania — Bill Cosby's chief accuser is set to take the witness stand on Friday at his sexual assault retrial, making for a climactic courtroom showdown after five other women told jurors that the man once revered as "America's Dad" is a serial rapist who harmed them too. Andrea Constand's appearance is her second chance to confront Cosby in court, since his first trial ended without a verdict. This time, though, she's facing a defense team intent on portraying her as a "con artist" who framed him for money. He said that Cosby's new defense team has "had the opportunity to thoroughly research her testimony and statements" from last year and found "even more inconsistencies." Allred floated a proposal that Cosby set aside a chunk of his fortune to compensate accusers, but he never agreed.
