Cosby’s chief accuser, Andrea Constand, sat stone-faced in the first row but
tilted her head back and breathed a sigh of relief after jurors were formally polled.

I predict the convictions will be thrown out on appeal, and the basis of the appeal will be the judge’s instruction to the jury that they could define “consent” however they wanted.
I’m not sure how this works. Did she come back 2 more
Times after the first assault?
My take is: every member on that jury had him convicted before they sat down in the jury box. Juries aren’t exactly random.
“Cosby now faces the imposition of 10 years per count - that’s 30 years in prison, in whole or in part, depending on his ordered sentence. He is an old man that faces the possibility of being imprisoned for the duration of his time here on earth. I can only hope the jury relied on the facts and the law, and not on policy, to come to their decision.”

It’s okay to be a rapist if you’re old?

I’m sure that the judge gave the jury those exact instructions.
Cosby is as innocent as Bill Clinton.
So he gave her blue pills. He didn’t slip her a mickey or force her to take them.
That will show him and others about making comments about personal responsibility.

I predict that this will be appealed on a NUMBER of legal issues. Cos will be free on bail while the appeals drag out, probably until he dies (which I also predict will be within 10 years).
No, but they do come from a jury pool. Both sides of the table can accept or reject each juror.
What I find odd is that Cosby was (is) rich and famous.
He could with very little effort find women to have sex with. He had no need to use a drug or to trick women into sex. So why would he do it?
I don’t think it was about sex. I think it was about power. He needed to dominate these women.
Probably
Depends upon how the sentences are specified. 3 at 10 yrs
each served concurrently could have him out in five years or
so. I don’t know how the appeals process works for these
charges he’s convicted of.
Meanwhile Billy Jeff Clinton, walks around unscathed, despite actual media coverage by his accuser. Wheres the trial for her and justice...
What you say during that pooling and what you really think are not necessarily the same thing.
Agreed, but the process sours the outcome when liberals invoke their cult-of-personality faux selected outrage. (see Kanye West). Cosby likely is guilty, but by bastardizing, therefore tainting due process, he should be let off because he was never presumed innocent IMO!
I’m surprised to hear so many supporting this mans innocence? He drugged women to have sex with them.
he has a whole fan club here.
Not so much his innocence, but more like, of all the dirtbags in Hollywood, why is he the only one that has been convicted?
When is Weinstein’s trial?
“the exact reason that women and victims of sexual assault don’t report this crime”.
Sounds like the makings of a mistrial, except for the judge - meaning watch out for an appeal.
