Bill Burr nailed it. There is an epidemic of gold digging whores in this country. It all comes down to money.

Oh yeah, Hannibal Burress mentioned he was a rapist in his stand up act!
He imitated Cosby saying “pull up your pants,” but then added “ but you’re a rapist though.” It took off after that.
Maybe you are correct! But he ( Cos) is still guilty.
I myself would not have gone anywhere near him, career or no career.

Should have looked it up first.

The Statute of Limitations on Sex Crimes in PA

Sex crimes have a different statute of limitations than most other crimes in the state. When a person is accused of raping someone over the age of 18 years old, the statute of limitations is 12 years after the crime was committed. Meanwhile, rape and sexual assault of a minor does not have a time limit, meaning a person could face charges at any time. It is for this reason the man in the most recent story still faced charges so long after the alleged offense.
———————
This should have never gone to trial under the rule of law. The alleged rape happened in 2004. She had until 2016 to seek justice. Was Cosby charged after 2016?

During the me too movement. And biden was even mixed up in it. Several women coming forward including pelosi saying he made her feel uncomfortable. He wouldn’t admit it or apologize. Said he was sorry they felt that way. But he didn’t kiss or sniff them. Pictures everywhere. What Cosby did was seriously messed up.

The corrupt Pa Supreme Court only ruled partially correctly !

There were other critical issues the Pa Supreme Court should have addressed but refused to !

The very serious issue of the prosecutor using ‘witnesses’ making claims about other events - events that happened 25-30 years prior - for which no police complaints were ever filed, nor any charges were ever laid should have been very firmly dealt with.

The two objecting Justices both referenced this issue but did not take a firmer stance because the other decision made the points ‘moot’.

The court also failed to address the very serious problem of the lack of a date for the alleged crime. The initial claimed date moved when Cosby was able to mount a defense against that date.

Since the ‘woman’ went over to Cosby’s house, late at night, to be wined and dined, while his wife was not present - she made her intentions very clear. She should have been able to provide an actual date for the crime and not a couple of seasons !

She was nothing but a grifter who extorted money.

I have taken Benadryl.

You may be a bit drowsy but you are not doped by any means.

You can speak and have coherent conversations. You can even sign documents because you are not legally impaired. Technically you can be charged with a DUI if you take it and drive but so far no one has been.

She was not doped. Not with Benadryl.

He admitted in the trial he used drugs to sleep with women aka rape no exception to that rule period.
Rape is rape no matter how one does it.

If you give someone drugs and they take them willingly, that is not rape.

But my point was that Benadryl does not leave you impaired to the point you can not object to being felt up.

So her claim of rape is so much BS and she knew it. She continued to go out with him. You do not continue to see someone who raped you.

Benadryl not the only thing he used some victims stated that when the came to they knew they were raped and the DID NOT take the drugs willingly he’s a flat out rapist 100% he need to be caged like an animal he is.
Covering up for him is BS and agreeing with his ways.

The process of navigating the justice system itself cannot be used as punishment

Agree. At least it should not. But it is.

You need to calm down.

some victims stated that when the came to they knew they were raped

And still hung out with him and went up to his room?

Those are not the actions of a rape victim. Those are the actions of willing participants.

Cosby is a sleeze.

But I am not convinced he is actually a rapist and there as been no hard evidence presented.

Covering up for him is BS and agreeing with his ways.

Who is covering up for him?

Crappola.
This pervert like Weinstein drugged then sexually assaulted females like it was their right.
Released? He deserved to have a victims father or boy friend castrate the bastard.

Exactly the point I was going to make. If they can do this to a rich and famous black man like Bill Cosby, what chance does someone who isn’t a rich, famous black man have in our system of justice?

That is a huge swath of the 1970s and 80s.

BINGO!

The “conviction” was the high water mark of the “Me, too” movement’s war on manhood.

The real target of the "Me, Too" movement was always Trump.
