Supreme Court won’t review decision that freed Bill Cosby
AP News ^ | March 7, 2022 | MARYCLAIRE DALE

The U.S. Supreme Court quietly announced Monday that it would not review Bill Cosby’s sexual assault case, leaving him a free man and ending a two-decade legal drama that shifted the cultural landscape, destroyed the groundbreaking Black actor’s reputation, and sent him to prison for several years late in life.

The high court, without comment, declined to review a stunning decision out of Pennsylvania that released Cosby from prison in June over the word of a former prosecutor who said he had made a secret promise to Cosby’s lawyers that he would never be charged.

A Cosby spokesperson expressed “sincere gratitude to the justices” on behalf of Cosby and his family for the announcement and said he was the victim of “a reprehensible bait and switch” by the district attorney and judge in the case.

He admitted he did what he was accused of in civil trial. Sometimes all you can get is a big settlement award and move on with your life.

It’s not a perfect world, so a perfect judgment isn’tal dpb

Um, no, no he did not. “He admitted he did what he was accused of in civil trial. “

He did pay her a large amount of ‘go away’ money in a civil trial.

In return, there was an agreement not to try to bring criminal charges.

She then brought criminal charges.

She now OWES him a refund of the ‘go away’ money !

Furthermore, she could never even establish the DATE for the alleged transgression.

The best they could get was a SEASON for the time for the alleged transgression.

Plus she drove over to his house !

Alone !

Late at night !

For a ‘romantic evening’ of dinner and socializing !!!

While his wife was not home !!!

I DO NOT BUY HER STORY IN THE SLIGHTEST !!!

Meanwhile, back in the land of TRUTH...

“UPDATED, 2:50 PM: Bill Cosby attorney Tom Mesereau kept repeating the same phrase over and over Friday afternoon as accuser Andrea Constand looked on from the witness stand with a blank stare: “Your honor,” he said. “I’d like to approach the witness with sworn testimony.”

And many of those times he was able to show Constand had told a different story regarding an aspect of her relationship with Cosby either in a police report from 2005 or the deposition she took as part of her civil case against Cosby in 2006.”

Abouty $3,380,000 !

“eden asked her if she ever had sued Cosby. The ADA followed by asking whether the suit was settled and finally asked her about the amount, to which Constand replied she was paid $3.38 million.”

Hmmm...

That looks and smells like an AFFAIR to me!

“Constand explained how she met the comedian in 2002 while working as the director of operations of the women’s basketball team at his alma mater Temple University.

Cosby began calling her routinely to talk about the athletic department and eventually about her life and career.

Over the next year, she said he invited her for dinner at his house multiple times

and once to Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.”

So the question is...

WHY DID SHE CONTINUE TO DATE COSBY IF SHE WAS “NOT INTERESTED”

... well, except in the $3,380,000 !

“At one point, Constand said, Cosby touched her on the thigh and another time tried to unzip her pants while sitting next to her. But she didn’t feel threatened. After he tried to unzip her pants, Constand said, she gestured that she wasn’t interested, and he complied.”

Do a search for “Did Bill Cosby admit he gave drugs to women he had sex with”.

Oh no, party animals took drugs together and then had sex together … whatever is the world coming to ?!?

Next you will be telling me that people go to bars, get very drunk with total strangers who buy them drinks, and then go to a remit place and try to engage in sex before they both pass out.

So the claim is that Cosby put 3 blue pills in her hand.

And that she then put 3 blue pills in her mouth and swallowed them on her own free will.

Hmmm.
