It *was* settled. They all knew as they were trying him that this would happen.
Eh. No different than OJ going out looking for the real killer.
The democrats wanted his head.
Democrat-run State, so I say, ‘Go for it, Bill!’
He got off on a technicality based on a news release that was not a binding agreement. He admitted to giving drugs to women without their consent to get sex. Now he is suing.
the difference btwn use and transactional immunity
I listened to Viva and Barnes podcast on this. The prosecutor thought the case was extremely weak, that there were numerous problems with the accusations including the fact that the accusers had maintained a personal relationship after the alleged incidents. Given what was known at the time, he thought a conviction was unlikely. He said he would not prosecute if Cosby went ahead and testified honestly at the civil case. Cosby’s judge had run against that prosecutor and lost. He had fund-raised based on the Cosby case and then that case ended up in his court. He refused to recuse himself and convicted Cosby. The list of court errors was long and convincing.
Now, his publicist Andrew Wyatt says that Cosby hopes to win ‘a couple hundred grand’ in compensation for the time he spend behind bars on the now-vacated conviction.
This is the way it works. Have you noticed that when public official want to do something but afraid the voters would object some group sues them and they cave.
My guess is that Pennsylvania will not defend their action but simply pay Cosby what ever he ask for.
Something is odd about this. Assuming for a moment he was wrongfully held - Is 2 years behind bars only worth ‘a couple hundred grand?’
I guess you only believe womens’ accusations of sexual assault when when they are levied against a Republican.
I don’t know why this case doesn’t bother me.
He was exposed for the world to see. Many women went on national TV and spoke about how he raped them with drugs.
He may be technically Free from facing anything in the courts, but he is far from innocent. And I am glad he spent years in jail.
“If you admit to this, you will pay $xxxx, but you will not be criminally charges.”
An innocent person might accept this deal.
Same goes with parole. If you were wrongfully convicted of a crime, and you want to get out early on parole, you have to admit guilt.
I don’t know if B.C. is a scumbag or not, but I do know he was selected for destruction by the liberals.
He’ll win.
The state violated his rights.. like it or not.
They will pay for it
Cosby tried - that issue went to the state Supreme Court before trial and they rejected it. Then 3 years later they overturned the conviction on that very same argument. Go figure.
Look
If ONE woman says you drugged and raped her. That’s bad
But if dozens do ?
Come on now
Millions of taxpayer dollars...
(Prosecutors should pay this out of their own pockets, and lose their law licenses, but of course they won't.)
The guy has hundreds of millions, yet wants to take from the taxpayers of Pennsylvania. It is too bad the rapist can’t sue the prosecutors themselves; or better still, they should be charged and convicted & thrown in prison. He is a rotten man, but so are they, for lying and chanting and wasting money and time for what purpose?
just because he got out of jail on a technicality does not mean he did not drug women to have sex with them.
and even if somebody took a pill willingly- does not mean she wants to have sex. Sorry to all that will be be outraged.
bump
Violations of his due process rights.
It took two years for the issue to arise sounds like a money trail needs looking to.
