Such a good verdict. I cheered.

I was devastated to hear about Cosby and like everyone in the country had a hard time believing at first, even though I too was victim of a powerful man that people still believe in.

But that is the trick. You can get away with decades of sexual predation IF YOU CULTIVATE A LOVABLE PERSONA. And being rich and famous helps too. It is good to not let the powerful get away with crimes.

Such a good verdict.

...

Could be. Having been on a jury it can be difficult to convict.

I can’t imagine what it’s like when the accused is a celebrity who used to have such a good reputation.

That’s how Bernie Madoff pulled off his scam. On the NYSE, he was known as Uncle Bernie.

Agreed, I’m happy about the verdict. The Cosby Show was one of my favorite shows, and it was so disappointing to find out that he wasn’t the good man he portrayed himself to be.
