27 witnesses establishing this greasy slug as a serial abuser of women.
Ditto.
If you ask someone a question and that person answers it, how do you believe the answer? If you ask your spouse where he/she was the past hour and he/she answers you, how do you believe him/her? Under your rationale you are not allowed to believe someone unless that person is under oath in a court of law. I’m just wondering how you function in society with your rules. And why do you bother having relationships with people when you don’t believe anything people tell you and the people you tell things to don’t believe anything you tell them? Just curious.
If all of these women are in it for the money, why aren’t they picking on someone with more money? Bill Cosby is only a multi-millionaire. Why didn’t they pick on a billionaire if their motive is money?
Many of these women are not asking for anything. Many of them have said they had more to lose if they came forward and did not want the attention. What about them?
What does “rise again” mean - “The new Huxable Show?” PLUEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!!
1.) He has the identical MO each time, ensnaring naïve protégées to his hotel with promises of work.
2.) The protégées all tell the same story.
3.) They even look alike, a sign of his taste in victims.
4.) Etc., etc.
I don’t mind stopping my sub. After he(Buckley) turned it over to the pretty boys it has nothing worth while to say...Way before you used this latest pile of doggy do do hit the fan
many if not most of the current witnesses publicly or privately arrayed against cosby have stated upfront that they are not interested in money.
so out of the current women coming forward, it seems at least so far that only about 4 are interested in money.
when i consider lawsuits being filed, i consider all the potential angles. a lawsuit is a big thing. they are filed in civil courts of unlimited jurisdiction in terms of renumeration for damages. if you file, and you lie, you could imho open yourself to a countersuit in unlimited jurisdiction in which you could essentially lose your home, your savings, your car, and the shirt off of your back, especially when facing a deep pockets opposing party such as Cosby.
the court system is to some degree familiar with the predicament of young women who have for whatever reasons not had the foresight to take rape kit evidence, etc. the court juries rely on circumstantial evidence in those cases. i get the impression that direct evidence is not strictly needed to convict or find liable. in civil court, a preponderance of circumstantial evidence will do. there are two types of courts and two types of evidence. and sometimes there are situations (not just limited to rape) in which direct evidence was for whatever reason not gathered. people on fr perhaps need to realize how the courts work. they seem to tend to conflate civil with criminal courts, and direct evidence with circumstantial evidence. it makes for very bombastic sweeping and overly simplified arguments, but not reasonable arguments.
IMHO, IANAL
they wear gooogle glasses or hat mounted gopros 24/7 and upload to NAS cloud storage every day?
should be useful. honey, actually you did not say skim milk two days ago, so i was actually free to get low fat milk. and i can prove it.
jk
I don’t believe I ever mentioned money....your hearing something that was not set. You must have money on your mind.
Almost sounds as if a prediction of a break in public opinion along racial lines, with whoopi and magic at the front lines.
hmm, maybe cosby could sue some of the venues that drop him (NBC?) for million$ for racial discrimination!
maybe the white women are all in on the conspiracy, and are all in line to get a substantial under the table payoff once cosby’s anti discrimination suits are settled!!
race, the final frontier... :-(
to continue a thought, a lawsuit might in theory be filed for more than financial reasons (eg to make a point in the court of public opinion). tangible real assets in damages are just a nominal but essential requirement of standing to file a lawsuit. if tangible real assets in damages is not mentioned in a lawsuit, then the lawsuit can be dismissed for lack of standing, and so all competently filed lawsuits mention monetary damages or equivalent, whether or not that is the ultimate goal of the plaintiff(s). And it is not necessarily the ultimate goal of the plaintiffs— just the nominal stated goal in the initial complaint filing which initiates a lawsuit in civil court.
IANAL
“Beloved”? By whom? His fellow honky-hating Obama worshipers?
You will have to ask the females involved. Since I know none of them...or their motivation
“Oh look, another one who never heard of a famous person paying off a nuisance suit to keep the tabloids from going crazy over the publicity it would take to clear their name in court.”
So now you think that rape is a “nuisance!” These women may have lost the ability to sue him in criminal court, but you can bet they will be there in force in civil court. Just hope they do it in Nevada so Cosby can share a cell with OJ Simpson out at the Nevada State Penitentiary in the middle of nowhere east of Lovelock. I can tell you that “the view” out there is really boring. All there is to see if you are on the north side, is the cars going by a mile distant on I88. A fitting “end” for Cosby.
Yep, it quickly moved from conservatism after Buckley.
