Cosby admitted that, after Constand complained she couldn’t sleep, he gave her **one-and-a-half Benadryl pills**. Cosby also acknowledged **fondling Constand*, but he insisted that she had not resisted or asked him to stop.
When being doped not much she could do no doubt he’s a friend of Harvey that many women can’t be wrong it sounds like a huge pay off.
That is how I read it too. The article is also wrong in that Cosby never could have been “forced” to testify in any court - not the civil court or criminal. He could have claimed 5th amendment rts in both courts. The civil court would have ruled, though, that his denial to testify via 5th amendment rts would have been a tacit admission but it would not be an admission in the criminal cases.
I think he is guilty BUT the government poisoned the well.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
This is wrong. Dead wrong. Terrible take by a purported conservative site. The process of navigating the justice system itself cannot be used as punishment (as it is being used in DC right now with the people arrested for demonstrated at the Capitol in January.) If someone with Cosby's resources can be raked over the coals for years and financially burdened as a sort of "in lieu of" process punishment because a criminal case can't be successfully brought against him by a prosecutor, what chance do you think the average Joe has of avoiding a similar fate?
The “conviction” was the high water mark of the “Me, too” movement’s war on manhood.
Guilty or not, the investigating and prosecuting didn’t begin until his speeches about black culture and responsibility. Either he prevailed or he has paid his penance.
I made a similar defense of Ellen DeGeneres, what, so what celebrities aren’t douchebags? Why was she singled out? I trace it back to being photographed with W.
What a stupid assertion. Failure to prosecute is not double jeopardy ...plenty of folks are prosecuted later if more evidence surfaces
Too bad the prosecutors are too incompetent to run a legit trial.
This isn’t incompetency. It’s misconduct.
See how it works ladies...You just have to know someone.
Makes more sense.....even though he was guilty as hell looks like,.....many times
Actually his attorney prolly advised given the peculiarity of the civil process over lack of criminal pursuit that he be candid and pay the money
And get immunity
Which ultimately he did....did not work out ....perfectly...3 years in jail and prison
Better than the 20 he deserved
BENADRYL IS NOT BLUE
No he didn’t. He admitted that quaaludes wine and sex happened in consensual encounters. That is a huge swath of the 1970s and 80s.
By your standard every time a woman drinks 3 big glasses of wine, it’s rape.
What happened is that a bunch of golddiggers went to the bedroom of a very rich and powerful man in the entertainment business and got drunk and popped pills with him. They couldn’t care less that he was married. When their projects or careers didn’t take off or they didn’t become the next Mrs. Cosby, they found Gloria Allred and tried to get paid.
He didn’t rape anyone and never said he did.
Exactly. It was after he got famous for that “pull up your pants” speech to young black men that he was targeted.
I gave quaaludes to women....they asked for them
They raped me...figuratively
Girls liked quaaludes in the 70s
It’s not appropriate to drug girls surreptitiously with whatever
Rofinal or methaqualone or placydils etc
Who wants to have to force women anyhow
Isn’t the point for them to want you...purring and cooing...
I never even understand all the first second and third base pleadings
Quaaludes made an interested girl less inhibited
Same for men
Like alcohol with less side effects though don’t mix the two much....dangerous
I had dates that was first question ....did you get them?
After I opened door and they reached over and opened mine....a good omen
My answer was you darn skippy, momma didn’t raise no turnip
Quaaludes would be the perfect drug for post menopausal lack of sexual desire some ladies experience
Here’s your vitamin and you hot cocoa sweetie....
30 minutes later she acts like you’re Brad Pitt and she’s been in a convent 30 years
I’m not kidding
Feminists bra burners hated quaaludes
Made women sybarites
By the way, after he “raped” that woman, you know what she did? She kept hanging out with him for another 6 months, and even brought her parents to meet him.
I know I would do that if someone raped and degraded me. /s
There should never be plea deals with criminals.
What’s the statute of limitations for rape in PA?
