Judge Steven O’Neill also helped the defence case by ruling that jurors can hear how much Cosby paid accuser Andrea Constand in a 2006 civil settlement. A second large group of potential jurors was also brought in Tuesday, in case the sides ran out of jurors from the first group. The camera shows the judge, prosecutors and defence lawyers, but not potential jurors who are being questioned as a group. All but one of the people in the initial group of potential jurors said they were aware of the #MeToo movement or the allegations it spurred against powerful entertainment figures. In all, prosecutors and the defence removed a total of 91 potential jurors before breaking on Monday.
