What percentage of the TV/news/media population has the insight you guys have, that the trial was a farce?

Tic Toe...

“Bill Cosby’s Appeal to Be Heard by Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court

The court will hear arguments about whether the testimony of five women should have been allowed at his sexual assault trial and whether a deal with a former district attorney was binding.

Published June 23, 2020
Updated Dec. 1, 2020
Pennsylvania’s highest court on Tuesday said it agreed to hear part of Bill Cosby’s appeal of his 2018 sexual assault conviction.

In December, a panel of three appellate judges unanimously rejected his appeal to the lower Superior Court, upholding his 2018 conviction in the drugging and sexual assault of Andrea Constand at his home outside Philadelphia in 2004.

But in January, his lawyers petitioned the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court to review that decision, highlighting several issues where they said the panel had erred in supporting the trial judge’s decision.

The state’s Supreme Court does not necessarily have to take up an appeal, and its justices typically grant few of them. It rejected some of the issues Mr. Cosby’s lawyer raised, but it said it would review the trial judge’s decision to allow testimony from five other accusers — women who, like Ms. Constand, said Mr. Cosby had drugged and sexually assaulted them”

I agree....The trial was totally political to pacify blacks.

Hire Alan Dershowitz for the appeal.

The judge never interviewed the jurors. I’ve always been interviewed by the judge.

Move it OUT of Minnesota or even to one of their conservative counties ‘Up North’ and you KNOW the verdict will be 180 degrees different.

JMHO. :)

I could not for the life of me understand why this trial would be right there in prejudiced Minnie.

Hy DH thinks Cosby was railroaded because he didn’t say things blacks and liberal enablers liked.

I don’t see how it would be denied.

Please move the next trial to my little Burg and call my neighbors and me for jury duty, please.

No evidence at the trial says he contributed to Floyd’s death. None. Yet, they convict??

Here's a hypothetical: they hogtie Floyd but after that they don't touch him at all. They let him wriggle for 5 minutes. Then they watch him as he is motionless for another 4 minutes. Then they check for a pulse and there's none. Manslaughter.

Probably so.

But practically he was railroaded because:

They used testimony from his civil trial in his criminal trial against him.

The civil trial was not allowed to proceed, where they could compile him to testify, until after the current DA had closed the prior case.

Then they allowed 5 prior ‘victims’ to testify - women who had never filed a prior police report.

And here we are, two years later after the railroading and the Supreme Court of P. has still not corrected their crimes.

Manslaughter requires actions to be taken or a failure of actions required. They took the action to call an ambulance. No manslaughter.

There are so many due process violations; and you can add that the venue change was denied and witness intimidation into your ad hoc list.

Did they call the ambulance soon enough?
