(CNN)Bill Cosby’s trial on three counts of aggravated indecent assault is now in the hands of the 12-person jury.
Jurors received the case Wednesday shortly after 11 a.m.
The case against Cosby centers on testimony from Andrea Constand, a former employee with Temple University women’s basketball team. She testified that Cosby, a powerful trustee at Temple, drugged her and sexually assaulted her when she visited his home to ask for career advice in a Philadelphia suburb in January 2004.
Cosby’s defense team has argued that their interaction was consensual. Constand is a con artist, they argued, who wanted a piece of Cosby’s fortune.
