Never cared for the guy....
How do you reconcile your presumption of guilt with this other thread on Freerepublic?

Can we just have the women who weren’t raped by Cosby step forward?
MYTH #1. Drink spikers most commonly use drugs such as Rohypnol, GHB and Ketamine.
Despite public perceptions that drugs such as Rohypnol, GHB and Ketamine are commonly used to spike drinks, toxicology results do not support these claims. Rohypnol as a brand name for the generic drug flunitrazepam was withdrawn from sale in Australia in 1998. The substance flunitrazepam is easily detected in urine, even in very low concentrations but is very infrequently detected by toxicology screening in drink spiking cases.
The drug most commonly used to spike drinks is alcohol which is relatively cheap, legal and easily available. In many instances alcohol can be added to drinks without arousing suspicion.
MYTH #2. Alcohol alone could not produce the severe effects commonly associated with drink spiking.The most common physiological effects attributed to drink spiking are vomiting, loss of consciousness, poor coordination and balance, slurred speech, lowered inhibitions (“losing control”), sleepiness or drowsiness, dizziness, loss of motor skills, impaired judgement, visual problems and nausea. These effects are also commonly experienced, in varying degrees, in moderate to severe alcohol intoxication.
MYTH #3. The drugs used to spike drinks are tasteless, colourless and odourless, making them almost impossible to detect by the drinker.Most tablets are made up of largely insoluble materials that leave noticeable sediment in the glass. Some drugs have a strong smell and a strong taste, making them potentially easier to notice. Relatively tasteless alcohol, such as vodka or tequila, may not be easily detected by a drinker when added to another alcoholic or strongly flavoured drink.
MYTH #4. There is currently a drink spiking ‘epidemic’ in New South Wales.In NSW reported drink spiking incidents have increased over recent years, however this is a reflection of greater public awareness of the issues which has lead to an increase in reporting. The number of reported incidents do not amount to an epidemic and remain low.
The barriers to reporting drink spiking incidents to police are widely acknowledged and include poor recall, amnesia, embarrassment or fear of not being believed. NSW Police make every effort to investigate all reported incidents of drink spiking and to prosecute those involved.
MYTH #5. Drink spiking almost always results in victims being sexually assaulted by a stranger.
The vast majority of the drink spiking incidents reported to police do not involve any other crime, ie assault, sexual assault or robbery. Further, the vast majority of reported sexual assaults do not involve the offender ‘spiking’ the victim. A person who spikes a drink may be the victim’s friend, acquaintance, friend of a friend, work mate, date, team member, or a stranger. There is often no intent on the part of the spiker/s to commit any crime other than to see what the effect on the victim will be. Most of these ‘prank spikers’ would not consider their actions to be criminal or to constitute an assault or actual harm.
“Date rape” is a confusing term often used by the media and the wider community when discussing drink spiking and drug facilitated sexual assault. Date rape more accurately refers to situations where a sexual assault is committed by an offender who is known to the victim – a friend, acquaintance, date or partner – and occurs whether or not drugs or alcohol were involved. Date rape does not mean drink spiking is involved.
MYTH #6. Drink spiking mainly occurs in nightclubs or pubs.Drinks can be spiked in any location where they are consumed – nightclubs, bars, dance parties, private residences, barbecues, community celebrations and restaurants.
MYTH #7. Drink spiking is a relatively new crime.Adding a stupefying or intoxicating substance into another person’s drink or food is an old crime, often carried out as a ‘prank’ for the amusement of the offender/s. This does not diminish the seriousness of the offence or the fact that other serious and traumatising crimes can follow. Crimes prosecuted can hold between 5 years and up to 25 years imprisonment depending on the seriousness of the offence.
However, investigating these crimes is often difficult for police, as victims can have little or no memory of the incident, or are reluctant to report the incident due to embarrassment or because they know, or have a relationship with, the suspected offender/s.
>>>Where are the Cosby defenders on FR now? Defend this.<<<
I am not a Cosby “defender”, as I have no idea if the charges are true or not. The number of them and the fact that he did settle one case out of court seem damning, while the age of the accusations and the fact that not a single police report was ever filed make me doubt them. I honestly have no idea what to think.
That said, there are a few things I found a bit strange in Johnson’s story:
a) It seems odd that a mother would not have primary custody of her daughter during a divorce proceeding. Even unfit mothers usually get extremely favorable treatment over upstanding men. It makes me wonder why.
b) After appearing in a TV movie in 1980, she did not have a single acting appearance in TV or movies until 1990. Makes me wonder how she’d even be on Cosby’s radar during the mid 1980’s. The fact that she didn’t land another role until 1990 suggests she wasn’t really actively pursuing at acting career during that decade.
c) The 2 visits to his home, one with her daughter and attending a taping of the show, seem like an awful lot to go through to fill a one time role for a pregnant woman sitting in a doctor’s office. I’d think a casting assistant would call in a handful of unknown actresses for quick auditions and then pick one.
Of course, that could have been part of Cosby’s plan to drug and rape but I would think she would have found it odd at the time and questioned why he was going to so much trouble to fill the role the was barely above an extra.
d) I’ve never been drugged (as far as I know) but her immediately realizing the cappuccino was drugged seems questionable, as does her claiming she went “totally limp” yet was able to make it to a cab, but had no recollection of how she got home and that the drug didn’t fully wear off for days.
e) The fact that he would give a woman he tried to rape, his private phone number that his wife was in the habit of answering seems odd as well, as does the fact that she has stayed with a serial rapist for the past 50 years, rather than divorcing him and getting a lucrative settlement.
Again, it could all be true, but she offers no corroborating evidence for her claim, and it allegedly happened over 30 years ago.
Does Cosby own a Drug Company, geez...

In a series of posts on her Twitter.com page - before the election was called - Johnson wrote, “My New Grandson..born Election Day!! So Happy! Now God be willing Obama remains our President. Thank you God for my Healthy Grandson!”
And after hearing the result, she returned to the site to declare, “Hallelujah!!!!!!! Obama!!! Yes!!”
