Not quite. Clever and/or powerful people have successfully conned the legal system in the past (eg Teddy Kennedy), and such people continue to con the legal system today. Maybe Cosby is one of that elite group. Cosby might be a kind of legal zombie, innocent yet guilty in the moral sense even though not in the legal sense because he might actually have done some of the things he is accused of, but nevertheless free to walk among us unrestrained and unpunished, on technicalities.

I think it is important to keep an awareness that such people exist and to identify them as potentially negative and harmful people on pragmatic grounds. you never know who you might get trapped in an elevator or subway car with— the same goes for your family members and good friends. if and when that happens, you or your family members or good friends should be on guard.

I think it's important to keep an awareness that people like you exist, who can make up stories of possibilities out of the whole cloth, with no evidence, of the most bizarre possible threats, and then use those stories to convince family members and good friends to ostracize and shun someone and slander their good name solely based on your paranoia and baseless accusations of what "might" be.

You're one scary dude.

I’ve been a victim of false accusations. So I know the routine more than you might surmise.

Cosby has one settlement out of court with prejudice and 27 witnesses.

In the real world I consider that to be close to a tsunami of indicators in a certain direction.

It is people like Cosby who masquerade as nice guys to unsuspecting women who cause permanent damage to our culture.

I am not antagonistic to you. Why are you making this personal.
