Cosby was convicted by a lynch mob incited by our Pravda media.

While I despise the PA Supreme Court, it ruled correctly.

The previous DA made a plea agreement with Cosby that if he told the details, he would not face criminal charges.

Cosby testified and the civil case was then settled.

The current DA, looking to have higher office, used Cosby’s testimony and leveled criminal charges against him.

The judge (also seeking higher office) did not throw the case out and did not block Cosby’s voluntary testimony from being used to convict him on the same criminal charges that were dropped in return for that testimony.

Total over-reach by the government and rightly shot down.

Corrupt political DA’s use the law like a weapon for political purposes. It starts at the DOJ, which is the worst for this.

The trial court, intermediate appellate court, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court all rejected Cosby's efforts to stop the criminal case.

Heh. When offered a chance to review the rationale it now uses to dismiss the conviction, the PA supreme Court said there was no issue with bringing crimnal charges.

Now there is?

Nothing changed.

Law is whimsy. Depends who you draw for a prosecutor, judge.

The big question is will Cosby get his own statues like George Floyd?

If you indict somebody long and often enough, you will achieve the desired result.

Either we believe in the rule of law or we don’t.

Joe DeGenova gave a good explanation of the Bill Crosby decision on Larry O’Connor’s WMAL.com morning show. He also talks about New York State dis-barring Rudy Gullianai.

Go here to find Monday morning’s interview podcast:

I think he is guilty, and no court technicality is going to change that. Too bad the prosecutors are too incompetent to run a legit trial.

Doesn’t make him innocent though; just not guilty.

Now they are gonna release the big fish with D’s after their name back out to the water.
Weinstein is next, Epstein would have been after that.

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.

...the courts saw to it that he endured two criminal trials, at which multiple women testified that he sexually assaulted him—with much of that testimony likely inappropriately admitted—and then the courts allowed Cosby to waste away in prison for nearly three years while his appeal percolated.

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.

On June 30, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court tossed the criminal sexual assault conviction against Bill Cosby, concluding that the 2005 decision by District Attorney Bruce Castor not to prosecute Cosby for the alleged sexual assault of Andrea Constand barred Pennsylvania from later charging Cosby with that crime.

What a stupid assertion. Failure to prosecute is not double jeopardy ...plenty of folks are prosecuted later if more evidence surfaces

The four-justice majority concluded that while Castor had not provided Cosby immunity from prosecution, the state had violated Cosby’s due process rights by charging him after the original district attorney committed not to prosecute Cosby in order to force him to testify in Constand’s civil case. The court held that “[i]n light of these circumstances, the subsequent decision by successor D.A.s to prosecute Cosby violated Cosby’s due process rights. No other conclusion comports with the principles of due process and fundamental fairness to which all aspects of our criminal justice system must adhere.”

Makes more sense.....even though he was guilty as hell looks like,.....many times
