Bill Cosby gave a bizarre response after he was found guilty on all counts in his sexual assault retrial on Thursday.

Cosby was ordered to remain in Pennsylvania after his prosecutors argued Cosby should be taken into custody immediately since he owned a private plane and could flee the state.

"He doesn't have a plane, you a--hole!," Cosby yelled in response, according to multiple reporters who attended the trial.

While it's unclear if Cosby currently owns a private plane, he has been photographed boarding and departing private aircraft over the past few years.

In April, Cosby's defense lawyers presented logs from flights he took on a private jet in January 2004 in an attempt to prove Cosby hadn't been in his suburban Philadelphia mansion during the month he was accused of drugging and molesting a woman there.

On Thursday, Cosby was found guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault against Temple University employee Andrea Constand. Each count could send Cosby to prison for up to 10 years, though he is not likely to serve the maximum sentence.

The conviction came after a two-week retrial that followed an earlier trial which failed to yield a verdict in June 2017. A mistrial was declared after jurors couldn't reach a unanimous decision.

While Cosby has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 60 women, this was the only allegation that became a criminal case.
