Bill Cosby denied mistrial after accuser tells him ‘you know what you did’

The judge in Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial denied the defense’s request for a mistrial on Wednesday after one of his accusers said from the witness stand, “You know what you did, don’t you, Mr. Cosby?”

After a 45-minute tearful testimony, Chelan Lasha, one of five accusers who was called on by the prosecution to testify, blurted out her question at Cosby while the jury listened, Reuters reported.

Cosby’s team immediately moved for a mistrial after the remark. The judge denied the motion, but warned Lasha against similar comments, and told the jury to ignore what she’d said.

Lasha says Cosby drugged and raped her in 1986, shortly after she got out of high school.

Cosby is currently on trial for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004.

Unlike Cosby’s first sexual assault trial — which ended in a mistrial last year after a tied jury failed to reach a verdict — the judge is allowing five accusers to testify against the TV star and stand-up comedian.

Cosby has denied the allegations made by Constand, claiming that their sexual contact was consensual. He paid her a $3.4 million civil lawsuit settlement in 2006.
