The jury is still out on Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial but on Friday, as deliberations continued for a fifth day, the actor and comedian took to Twitter to thank his supporters.

Cosby has been on trial for the alleged sexual assault of Andrea Constand, the former director of operations for Temple University's women's basketball team. Constand says Cosby gave her pills in 2004 and sexually assaulted her.

On Friday, as jurors asked the judge to define "reasonable doubt" and attempted to bring an end to the deadlock on the three counts they were asked to consider, Cosby sent out a few tweets with photos of people holding signs up in support.

"Thank you to all of my fans and supporters — here in Norristown and worldwide," he tweeted.

Constand, meanwhile, sent a tweet of her own Thursday, featuring a video of herself throwing a basketball through a hoop and the words "always follow through."

Judge O'Neill has indicated he'll let the members of the jury deliberate as long as they need to in order to reach a verdict.
