The highly anticipated trial of comedian Bill Cosby began this week in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Cosby's defense team has leaned on the sympathy of the jurors for Cosby as a "grandfather"-like figure. Cosby is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, a Temple University employee at the time of the alleged assault, in 2004. Over 40 other women have accused Cosby of sexually assaulting them over the span of 50 years.
