Steele noted that Cosby has admitted giving quaaludes to women he wanted to have sex with.

    The TV star acknowledged under oath a decade ago that he had sexual contact with Constand but said it was consensual.

    Guided by his lawyers, he walked slowly into the courtroom, using a cane and wearing a gray tweed hoodie sweater.
