"Can you imagine how hard it is to defend a case when you start with the label of sexual predator?" Bonjean told the jurors, reminding them they were chosen because they promised they would be able to consider only the facts presented in court.

Cosby held accountable for what he did." "Each of you knows in your heart that Mr. Cosby sexually assaulted Miss Huff," Goldberg said.
