>>>And none of the boys in the Sandusky had a taped confession or positive tests for drugs or alcohol that Sandusky gave them or DNA or fingerprints that you require to believe them.

Your standards seem to be different towards the women.<<<

Wrong! As I already mentioned, Sandusky’s accusers (who I can confidently refer to as VICTIMS), went to the police who investigated their claims and found the credible. They again told their stories to the District Attorney, who believed them and presented the case to a Grand Jury. The Grand Jury also found those claims to be credible and indicted Sandusky.

The case was put to trial, where 8 victims testified, under oath, that he sexually abused them. The witnesses were cross examined by the defense.

After hearing the evidence, a jury of his peers UNANIMOUSLY found him GUILTY, beyond of reasonable doubt on 45 of the 48 charges against him.

THAT is the process by which we judge people to be rapists (or criminals in general). Claims made in the media, not under oath, with no cross examination (and little if any professional skepticism by the media) do not hold anywhere near the weight of the charges that stood up to the rigors of the judicial process.

I could go on ABC News, the View or MSNBC and falsely claim “Joesette Dupree drugged and sexually assaulted me!” Can you prove you didn’t?

Is it the responsibility of fair minded people to condemn you on my word alone, or to keep an open mind and wait for evidence of guilt or innocence?

“The first one to plead his cause seems right,
Until his neighbor comes and examines him.” - Proverbs 18:17

Again, Cosby could very well be guilty as sin, and if he is, he should rot in prison. I have just not seen evidence to make a determination either way, and I am not in the habit of condemning people with sufficient evidence.

According to God’s word it is the wicked, not the righteous who are quick to believe every accusation.

“An evildoer gives heed to false lips;
A liar listens eagerly to a spiteful tongue.” - Proverbs 17:4

“THAT is the process by which we judge people to be criminals...”

Not always. Just as you think there are flaws in the women’s stories, there are flaws in this process, too. It’s not perfect. This process has convicted innocent people and not convicted guilty people. Go ahead and tell me OJ Simpson didn’t kill those 2 people.
