Amy Robach 2:53
Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, March 24th, and a California jury has found Bill Cosby liable for a sexual assault that happened before Amy Robach and I were even born. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. 50 plus years ago, we're talking about, and a jury just said, Mr. Cosby, you need to pay a huge amount to this woman for something that happened in 1972. Do I have that right?
T.J. Holmes 3:30
Yes, 1972. It happened on one occasion and a jury took more than two days to deliberate, but they have awarded this woman $59.25 million for her pain and suffering and for punitive damages in this case. It was the largest verdict so far.
Amy Robach 3:51
So far, we say, and to be quite honest with you, it's hard to keep up. Every time I see a Harvey Weinstein update about a trial date, I'm like, wow, he's still dealing with legal stuff. To be honest with you, I didn't realize Bill Cosby is still dealing with lawsuits that are flying all over the place.
T.J. Holmes 4:06
He certainly is. And this was a doozy of a lawsuit. And look, she testified, took the stand, described what happened to her, she said, on that day in 1972. Three other women testified of having similar encounters with Bill Cosby. He did not take the stand. And it's interesting to hear what he said in deposition.
