(AP) — Jurors at Bill Cosby's sexual-assault trial have heard accuser Andrea Constand's side of the story and have heard Cosby's version in the form of his police statement and his lurid deposition in her 2005 lawsuit, but they don't know if they'll hear from him in person when his defense starts Monday.
