I think he changed, for the worse, after his son died in that freak accident.

You mean when his son was murdered?

DForest, I thot I smelled Gloria Allred’s stink in this. Good for the jury, then, for shutting her down. She is REALLY bad.

I saw him when I was a student at UCBerkeley, long years ago. He did ‘Noah’ and some of his classics. We were rolling on the floor.

He’s 80. They’re wasting tax payer money.

Probably the only thing that can be done is to force him to wear a monitor of some sort and make him face his wife everyday. Whether or not she knew anything of what was going on, which I suspect she did, but to have her be embarrassed, well, let her mete out some justice of her own.

I'd struggle with referring to it as a freak accident.

-snip-
Ennis Cosby was killed near Interstate 405 in Los Angeles, California. Cosby, the son of comedian Bill Cosby, was shot in the head by 18-year-old Mikhail Markhasev in a failed robbery attempt.

Those women should have known that involving Gloria is a good way to have the jury get the impression that they are full of crap.

The main accusers sound more like activists for feminists...I get really weary of hearing women complain....especially when so many do seem to put themselves in situations they ought not....and ususlly drugs and alcohol always come into view.

The blonde started in on getting the statute of limitations reduced. Okay, helps attorneys more than victims.

So yes, I agree with you.

I was sad to see someone I thought was very funny and a good man when I was young destroyed by events, by his human weakness and by people who want the notoriety.

I don’t know what happened in those rooms with those women, I’ve seen a lot of hoaxes play out & a lot of people preying on other people. So neither scenario would surprise me.

That’s what the “victim” gets for hiring the psychobitch Gloria Allred as her attorney. Cosby’s attorney was right in telling Allred to “go back to law school.” She is a shakedown artist, not a competent lawyer.

All the while he was drugging and raping unconscious women, while his wife looked the other way.

Was he convicted of doing that?

I recall reading that years ago, another woman accused Cosby and he settled because she had many “Jane Does” ready to testify that he had done the same thing to them. I guess they couldn’t do that this time, for some legal reason or other?

It was a neat little construct that Cosby built for 6 decades: The clean comedian with a moral center, the family man. All a falsehood. Make himself such a beloved figure with America that he could prey on women for decades to satisfy a fetish of having sex with unconscious women (who knows if he ever went full necrophiliac) and if such charges were ever aired, millions of Americans (of all races) would be there to denounce them as “scurrilous” or “impossible !”

As I said, a neat little construct. But there were always little signs here and there if you looked closely (if you wanted to). People that knew him could see cracks in the façade, they knew that he had a dark side. His “I Spy” co-star, Robert Culp, called him the angriest man he ever met. When fame came in the ‘60s, he’d frequent the Playboy Club (somewhat of an odd choice of venue for a family man with a “clean” persona). Well, sure, Sammy Davis, Jr. did the same, but Sammy wasn’t hiding behind a false veneer, he was a known player and loved chasing women.

Sure, a lot of these guys were players, beloved entertainers (Richard Pryor, too). But something about Cosby was different. Even during the time that I was a fan of his, there was something in his soul, something behind the eyes that gave away his secret. Who knows if they’re simply “mother” issues, why he really hates women. Even with our beloved (snort) ex-President Bubba with all of his sick escapades, he liked to catch his prey “live”, with all that entailed. Cos liked his prey “dead.” Channeling his demons into his actions while the girls couldn’t fight back. I don’t know which is a worse violation. Perhaps Cos drugged them because he was ashamed of letting them see the person he is. That he wasn’t man enough to face them while he did that to them awake.

He’s a very sick soul, and even if he never goes to jail, the public can at least see what his real persona is after all these years, right out in the open. His sociopathic wife should similarly share in the blame, because she knows what he’s been doing all these years, but she didn’t want the gravy train of money, power, and celebrity to end.

Some choose to see the truth. Some don’t.

Very sad. We could have used a little star chamber justice like OJ got in Vegas here.

Famous people, it’s still All Systems Go for sexually abusing people and children less important than you! Any fantasies you have, act them out with the general public. You have a right to! No one will believe those losers anyway! Drug them, rape them, and c*** all over them! Have a good time!
