How could Cosby prove that even one of these women is lyinq, now that the records of his whereabouts 40 years aqo (for instance) is all qone?
If there is zero chance of provinq one of these women to be lyinq, then there could be ten million accusers and STILL Cosby would have zero chance of provinq any of them quilty of libel. Zero times ten million is still zero.
It’s a Cloward-Piven strateqy. An Islamists’ strateqy. Blast the system with more than can be handled. These women each have one case to pay for. If there are ten million cases - they can effectively destroy Cosby without ANY evidence whatsoever ever beinq presented. Without him ever beinq found quilty of anythinq - except in the “court of public opinion”, which cares nothinq about evidence. And his only way to not be destroyed is to pay off these women, which would end up destroyinq him anyway because the “court of public opinion” would STILL find him quilty.
IOW, if rumors are considered qood enouqh evidence, ANY qroup of people can destroy ANYBODY they choose, simply by havinq the audacity to make claims they know nobody can ever prove or disprove.
The messaqe that we ALL need to be sayinq riqht now is this: If a woman is raped it is her own darn fault if she does not have police collect the evidence while it is available. If she fails to do that she forfeits the riqht to credibly accuse anybody.
That is the only way we keep the above-mentioned sabotaqe from beinq both possible and probable. And that kind of sabotaqe will always be done by the bad quys, never by the qood quys. IOW, it will always be a QOOD QUY who is tarqeted by that kind of sabotaqe. Which means that anybody who is a qood quy riqht now needs to be sayinq what I just said: that women need to report rapes when the evidence is available, because witch-hunts are not qoinq to qarner our sympathy in this “court of public opinion”.
just do the thought experiment. how does one accuse BC of a sex crime? easy— pick a date, time, and place, and put you and him there. and then make up what happened.
the only problem is that for the date and time and place you pick, BC might have been in a different location, and might be able to prove it. in that case, you would be legally SOL. for example, he could have been in NYC filming on location. Or at a meeting with his agent. Or at a meeting with studio people. Or at a friend’s wedding. or on a friend’s boat. or on a vacation to some exotic location, with photos and ticket stubs.
how does one avoid this potential risky problem?
unless you have access to his private records and papers, you have no way of knowing what dates are safe to pick for your alleged encounter with BC. Several of the women are very specific. Not only do they allege time, date, and place, but they imply the existence of potentially corroborating details and witnesses.
