Courtroom observers were shocked when the jury requested to review all 300 pages of Andrea's testimony on the night in 2004 when she claims the comedian took advantage of her in his Pennsylvania mansion. Presiding judge Steven O'Neill only allowed testimony from one of the multiple other women who also claim that Cosby attacked them in a similar manner, but many legal experts believed the comic was in big trouble.

Now, however, a Cosby spokesman has issued comments that reflect the defense's relief that the jury isn't rushing to judgment. Andrew Wyatt — who's been at Cosby's side through the trial — said that his client is "doing good," adding: "His spirits are up, and we believe this jury is highly intelligent."

"They're seeing the bigger picture," added Wyatt, "and they understand this is somebody's life on the line." Judge O'Neill, however, has already cautioned against speculation over the length of the jury's deliberations. "This only shows at this point that [they] are consciously engaging in the deliberation process," said the judge, who adjusted the jury request to agreeing to read only redacted portions of Andrea's testimony. "Read nothing into it."
