He is fighting for his life, literally. If convicted he will spend the rest of his life in prison. You use whatever you can to avoid a lifetime in a cell.
They really probably don't know any better, everybody “they” know does it. To them we are just a bunch of simple minded prudes.
To me the women that are complaining after willingly participating by taking drugs in a married mans bed room got what they wanted, intimacy with a star, I would acquit. God won't.
‘60 women just don’t make up rape by one man.’
Sure they do. He is worth over $400 million. Everyone has their price.
I am not saying he didn’t do things or that he is innocent or even not guilty. I am saying it is pretty easy to find 60 people who would love to have the chance to sue a person who has almost half a billion dollars.
His legal troubles don’t end with this case. Even if not guilty he will spend the rest of his life in court and depositions fighting off law suites.
our Justice system demands that it is better to let a 100 guilty go free than to wrongly punish one innocent

With all due respect, I have always detested the above statement. Think about it for one moment please. By letting the 100 guilty go free, you are thereby allowing them to further their crime, ie, rape, theft, murder etc.
Guess what? You now just caused hundreds if not thousands of innocent lives to be destroyed... Oh, but you still claim about the “one” innocent nonsense. Sheesh.
She should have settled out of court and wound up with some funds. What the Coz did was wrong but she’s no innocent flower of virtual purity either.
If Cosby has done what they say, I guess I should pray that he humbles himself before God that his soul may be saved - ironically similar to us standing up for the Constitution even though it may allow things we don't like.
Jonah tried to stay away from Nineveh because he deemed them too wicked to save - God had other thoughts.....
Convicting Cosby is all about money. I’d venture to guess he is NOT guilty however, not having access to all the facts, I might be wrong. Having some 60 women crawl out from hiding after several years then suggesting that they were victims, hoping for a “payday” surfaces a lot of doubt.
The Constitution is the Constitution even though it may allow some things we do not like to occur - the flip side is an oppressive (think Progressive Liberal) system to subjugate the People.
He blamed racism for people disagreeing with Obama. He fooled much of America for decades.
The American justice system is still the best ever devised though.
Quote from Cheka article in Wikipedia-—
Lenin’s dictum was: that it was better to arrest 100 innocent people rather than to risk one enemy going free.
“I ain’t gonna vote guilty. There’s too many black boys in Prison”
Where are the women claiming Warren Buffet raped them? Get real.
I’ve sleep problems since I was a little kid. Insomnia and crazy sleepwalking. I mt Twenties, a Milwaukee doc prescribed Parest 400s, the strongest ludes made. I didn’y like them! They turned everything into rubber, and didn’t curb my somnambulism. But my girlfriends begged me for them, then screwed my brains out. Not sure about Cosby’s case. The gals may have been willing participants?
It’s amazing how many people can’t recognize that there might actually be a difference between Cosby’s on-air persona as “America’s Father” and his less-than-fatherly activities in his private life.
Geez, you don’t put a guy in jail for copping a feel.
Let the women at him one at a time if they choose and let them smack the crap out of him. That would be enough punishment for what amounts to something which has been going on for probably centuries.
Anyone here remember in the HS Cafeteria...”pass the ketchup”?
My father in law was Chief Investigator for the DA’s office here. I worked at our swankiest country club where all the lawyers and judges were members. When I got called for jury duty and the question came up......do you know anyone in law enforcement, etc? I’d always answer yes. The judge and both lawyers would all laugh and say hi to me then......they’d keep me! Every. Single. Time.
See my post #36.
Every. Single. Time. Lol
“60 women just don’t claim rape.”
Think of this as one of those mailers you get asking you to join a class-action lawsuit... I have no doubt that out of those 60 women several were indeed raped. For the rest, the circumstances are sufficiently murky that they can ride-along.
This is the way the legal-game is played in America.
A man might say or do just about anything when he’s fighting for his freedom, and his life.
In Texas the law is or used be that (This is not an exact quote) in order to serve on a jury you must be ethically and morally able to render a just verdict. One of the judges in Denton County would simply ask the jury pool; “Does anyone here feel that they are ethically or morally unable to be a juror? If so, stand up and clearly say why you are ethically or morally unsuitable and I will dismiss you if I feel your reason is justified.”
