Bill Cosby shows no remorse in first interview from prison: 'It's all a set up'

Bill Cosby is speaking out from prison.

Over a year after he was first incarcerated for the sexual assault of Andrea Constand, the disgraced actor and comedian — who is serving three to 10 years — has given his first interview. In it, the 82-year-old maintained his innocence from his Pennsylvania correctional institution, Phoenix, which is located outside Philadelphia, and, because of that, he expects to serve the entire sentence. Cosby also called his trial a “set up” and the jurors “imposters.”

“I have eight years and nine months left,” Cosby told National Newspaper Publishers Association's BlackPressUSA.com, clearly not believing he will leave prison on the early side of his sentence. “When I come up for parole, they’re not going to hear me say that I have remorse. I was there. I don’t care what group of people come along and talk about this when they weren’t there. They don’t know.”

Cosby, who is appealing his sentence, said his trial was “all a set up. That whole jury thing. They were imposters.”

Cosby referred to an incident after the jury was selected when an alternate juror claimed to have overheard a seated juror say that Cosby was guilty. While the issue was raised by Cosby’s legal team with the judge, that judge apparently found insufficient evidence of it because the juror remained.

“It’s something attorneys will tell you is called a payoff,” Cosby said.

While I don’t believe he’s “innocent”, I don’t believe they’d have gone after him if he hadn’t been so vocal about his conservative viewpoint on education and the problems of the inner-city.

That whole jury thing. They were imposters.

If they'd been seated closer, maybe he could have slipped them some tranquilizers. No cursing in the Y.

[Responsibility2nd]

I believe Cosby is guilty. I also believe he is a victim of #MeToo mania.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Bill Cosby plays the victim.

PING!

I’m on my phone so I can’t post a meme. But it goes like this.

Pudding my d!ck where it don’t belong.

[DIRTYSECRET]

O.J. was set up.

[olesigh]

So, drugging and raping women, not such a factor?

He expects to serve the entire sentence because he maintained his innocence or because he's in a prison outside Philadelphia? Who writes this stuff??

[LouAvul]

That whole jury thing. They were imposters

Sort of makes up for the sham "hate whitey" jury that let that murdering oj free.

Sort of.

I say "sort of" cause cosby be guilty as sin.

Bill Cosby was protected until he attacked Obama. That is when all of the dirt came out.

In it, the 82-year-old (from his Pennsylvania correctional institution, Phoenix - located outside Philadelphia), maintained his innocence and because of that, he expects to serve the entire sentence.

Who writes this sort of stuff? People with no love for the English language!

I would have shifted the entire parenthetical remark to a separate sentence, but wanted to show that a minimal change would have been sufficient to correct the problem.

Neither did Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson, O.j Simpson and a slew of others- He’s in the right company for his ilk

[Southack]

Let’s remember that Cosby’s main accuser (Janice Dickinson?) was in Epstein’s little black book of contacts...

And the very married Cosby’s 2nd home was the Playboy Mansion.

He was always a liberal though. Supported Obama. He only cared about black faithlessness because it harms blacks.

[SaxxonWoods]

In American one is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

He’s guilty.

[PghBaldy]

At least one, if not more, women went to police years before Obama was even in the US Senate. Also, never heard of Cosby going after Obama.

[fieldmarshaldj]

For 50 years+ he did this to innocent young women, and his wife knew and enabled his behavior. Denying his deeds to the very end. What a sorry, sad figure who deceived so many of us with his schtick.
