A Pennsylvania judge has waved the starting flag on a sex assault trial for Bill Cosby -- ruling Wednesday night that there is no "immunity deal" barring the comedian from prosecution, as defense lawyers had tried to claim.
A trial date has yet to be set on a former Temple University athletic department employee's claims that Cosby drugged and assaulted her in his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.
Cosby, 78, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of assaulting the woman, Andrea Constand. It will be the first criminal trial by a woman claiming he'd sexually abused her; more than 50 women have come forward since 2000 with allegations ranging from sexual misconduct to rape, many including the use of drugs.

So...IOW, Uncle Jimbo is wrong. As usual.
I agree; I’d need more than “she said” to convict.
I dunno... seems to me that anybody can make sh*t up and be really convincing about it when there’s THAT much money involved. He’s a very wealthy man, and they’re seeing the cash cow dangling in front of them.
Their lawyers, too. I keep thinking “Jackie Childs” from Seinfeld...
He’s VERY wealthy. That created a BIG target to aim at.
I’ll throw this out: I’ve wondered since this crap started if his son getting killed is related to any of these accusers? A pissed off husband, boyfriend or father? I have no evidence, just the thought.
Do I think he was banging anything he could? You bet.
Do I think he’d say “I can make you famous.” to score? Yep.
Do I think his wife was aware that he’s a he-whore? Yep.
Do I think he was drugging them and raping them? Ehhh... Like Impy said, I’d need more than “she said”.
Scores of women? For decades? I just don’t know.
The accusations have come forward since then but the crimes were reportedly several decades ago.
