Norristown, Pennsylvania (CNN) A jury found Bill Cosby guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault on Thursday, for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in a Philadelphia suburb in 2004.

The 80-year-old comedian faces up to 10 years in prison on each count, but Cosby is likely to serve them concurrently.

A sentencing hearing with Judge Steven O'Neill has not yet been scheduled, and Cosby remains out on bail.

This jury began deliberating Wednesday around 11 a.m., and worked for more than 14 hours over two days to reach the verdict.

At the retrial, five other Cosby accusers testified as "prior bad acts" witnesses and said that Cosby had drugged and assaulted them decades ago.

Lacquer is the ideal finish for MCM pieces, and how virtually all of them were originally done.

The fumes are some Serious Shit, however, and getting a good build with aerosol lacquer is expensive and and hard.
