Just hours before his trial was set to begin, a desperate Bill Cosby sought an eleventh hour plea deal, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.
According to insiders, the disgraced comic begged for a deal that would include no admission of guilt.
Meanwhile, prosecutors want the 79-year-old to face the music.
A source inside the Montgomery County District Attorney’s office said D.A. Kevin Steele demanded “significant” jail time, a large fine and community service.
“Bill Cosby wants Steele to agree to a deal in which an announcement would be made basically saying that the prosecution couldn’t prove its case and that the defense had nothing to prove so it’s a win for him,” the insider said.
“He’s desperate, his defense is desperate because [what he’s accused of is] indefensible,” the source continued. “It should be mentioned that they [the defense] came to [prosecutors] because the day of reckoning has arrived and maybe he’s opened his eyes and realized that he’s about to go to prison maybe for the rest of his life.”

Cosby, who turns 80 next month, faces 10 years in prison if convicted of the three counts of sexual assault which he’s accused of. Those charges include the drugging and raping former Temple University athlete Andrea Constand.
Dozens of women have come forward claiming they were drugged and raped by the comedian once known as America’s Dad.
“They haven’t discussed anything feasible for Bill Cosby,” a source connected to the comedian said of the plea negotiations. “It’s a witch hunt and they are making sure to try and bury him. It’s unfortunate.”

This isn’t the first time the alleged serial rapist has sought a deal with prosecutors.
After a judge ruled to admit Cosby’s shocking civil deposition, in which he cops to plying women with Quaaludes before having sex with them while their zonked out, as evidence, the comedian sought a deal.
In the bombshell 2006 deposition, Cosby admitted to giving Constand Quaaludes.

“When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?” Constand’s former lawyer Dolores Troiani, asked Cosby during that deposition.
“Yes,” Cosby answered.
Later in the deposition, the comic described putting his hands down Constand’s pants: “I don’t hear her say anything, anything. And I don’t feel her say anything. And so, I continue and I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection. I am not stopped.”

Cosby, perhaps sensing his possible doom, is now seeking a deal for leniency.
“He and his family are convinced this trial will end badly,” a source close to the comedian said.
In December, an insider told the New York Post that “Cosby and his family believes he’ll be eligible for a sentence of just probation. . .and remove the threat of him dying in prison.”

Now, Cosby has tried another Hail Mary by attempting to butter up hard-nosed prosecutor Steele, implying that a plea deal would give the DA a major victory over a celebrity.
Cosby also tried to “play the sympathy card,” the prosecution source said.
“They want Steele to take into consideration that he’s old and he’s blind. But, he had to be reminded that this is the Justice System and the Justice System doesn’t play favors because of someone’s celebrity or because they’ve grown a bit old. With age, sometimes comes health problems.”
I suspect “Do you know who I am?” doesn’t fly well with federal prosecutors.
the only goal for the defense attorneys now is to make sure if he dies in jail or not
The Justice System doesn’t play favorites because of a celebrity ?
Please ......
“I suspect “Do you know who I am?” doesn’t fly well with federal prosecutors.”
Unless it’s Hillary Clinton. She’s special.
How come Cosby’s in the stockade but Clinton’s not???
Frank Pentengeli.
IF Cosby needs some inspiration.
From what I read elsewhere, they have records of something like 50 phone calls to Cosby, some lasting 30 or 40 minutes, made by the victim to him AFTER the alleged rape took place. She reported the rape a year after is was said to have occurred. It looks to me like he may easily skate.
because she has to go walking in the woods with her grandkids...
An innocent victim of blind justice.
At 79, he doesn’t have significant time left on this earth.
I not only want him in prison, I want him in a very harsh environment in prison too. But of course I know he’s not gonna be facing that. It’s country club jail for him if he’s even convicted, which I think odds are probably 50/50.
The guy’s a scumbag who got away with rapes because he’s a big shot in Hollywood TV land. Now he’s trying to play blind\cripple to convey that he could never hurt a fly.
Imagine if he had never given that personal responsibility speech.
Cosby's been free on bail ever since he was first charged. Which has been what? A couple years?
“I suspect “Do you know who I am?” doesn’t fly well with federal prosecutors.”

Unless it’s Hillary Clinton. She’s special.
Or, Bill the Molester Clinton.
What a smarmy putz. Lock him up.
Just imagine how many other women didn’t come forward. Or they ones he intimidated but didn’t have to drug.
This guy is probably loaded with STDs . . .which may explain why he’s going blind
Imagine if he'd only used the vast array of Anglo-Saxon expletives so many "African-American" comics seem to believe they invented.
I don't know if he's guilty or not. If he's guilty, he should pay for what he's done. But I can't help but think he's being singled out for being an "uncle tom" who spent his career appealing to everyone (even though he was supposedly as angry as all the other Black "spokesmen").
Newsflash for America’s necrophiliac Dad:
EVERY perverted criminal gets old and feeble at some point. So what. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
Give him a 12ga and ten minutes alone
