NORRISTOWN — The judge who presided over Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial will decide today whether to identify jurors who deadlocked in the case after a week of deliberations.

Judge Steven O’Neill fears there would be a chilling effect on jurors needed for Cosby’s retrial if the first jury discusses the deliberations with the media. Lawyers for several media outlets argued at a hearing Tuesday that jurors’ names should almost always be public to ensure transparency in the judicial process.
