Jurors hear Bill Cosby's testimony about quaaludes, sex

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — As prosecutors wound down their case, jurors at Bill Cosby's sexual assault retrial Wednesday heard the comedian's explosive testimony about giving quaaludes to women before sex — an old admission that's taken on new significance after a half-dozen women testified that he drugged and violated them.

A police detective read a transcript of the 2005 testimony as prosecutors saved for the very end of their case Cosby's own words about using the 1970s party drug "the same as a person would say, 'Have a drink.'"

Cosby, now 80, is being retried on charges he drugged and molested chief accuser Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He says their encounter was consensual.
