Cosby’s lawyers have all these trolls flooding theinternet with posts like these, to influence opinion in his favor for the Appeals Court. Don’t befooled by them.

>>Do sentencing guidelines change based on the perp’s age or only their political affiliation?MM

Both, I think.

The former for sure.

Coz should have changed venue to Van Nuys. No celebrity has EVER been found guilty there ;)

Forget about Cosby reruns, etc. His brand is forever tainted. He is now a filthy old predator, and deserves to die in jail. And his wife? An enabler. All her wealth should be attached also.

I hate it. One of the icons of my youth.

When you learn the truth about people, it’s easy to understand why people become cynical.

well idk, there are names that keep popping up on the Cosby threads basically defending his behavior/blaming the women. I don’t think they are trolls. I don’t know them personally, and i do not care to.
and that’s a spot on description of Cosby you got there!!!

Balding_Eagle was making the point that had Cosby toed the party line and not taken a conservative stand on some social issues, he would have gotten away with his misdeeds, as have the Kennedys, Bill Clinton, and so on.

Given that the prosecutor who brought the case is white, I am unable to agree that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between Cosby having spoken out about family pathologies in the black community and his being prosecuted for personal behavior that many, many women accused him of, but few had any standing due to the statue of limitations having run out. No one has ever accused Cosby of being a bad or abandoning father; he clearly loved his children.

Most of his victims are in the age group of women who were old enough to be sexually harassed before there were any clear legal recourses, before sexual harassment, date rape or coercion were even codified as crimes; it was also an era when women with legitimate claims of rape were treated horribly by the "justice" system. Especially in the more free-form world of entertainment and media, accusers could be blackballed, as we saw in the Weinstein situation, where Weinstein used his wealth and influence to do to his victims what Hillary did to Bill's victims to silence them—bad publicity, fake news, threats, "you'll never work in this town again," etc.

Changes of attitudes and laws only barely got started in the late 70s, when Cosby was already well into his 30s and a big wealthy star. Many women of that era who were taken advantage of and treated very badly by bosses, colleagues, pastors, therapists or co-workers simply tried to suppress it and move on, but paid a terrible price in lost wages and in PTSD-like reactions for years to come. When someone with standing at last took Cosby on in recent years, those older victims finally felt that at least they could now speak out.

Yes to all the things you said, but I am certain that had he not strayed off the Liberal Plantation he would not have been facing all these charges he was found guilty of.

He would have gotten away with it, just as hundreds of leftists have

I don’t doubt that, but I think I’ve detected a trend in recent years where parole boards are cutting older defendants loose — even when the imprisoned guy doesn’t make much of an effort to get out — just to get them off their financial books.

How many others were even worse than Cosby?

While I accept the fact that Cosby is guilty and deserves whatever punishment is coming to him, my question is, why just him?

I am with you all the way , Yaelle. These creeps on here defending the pig are hired hands, getting paid by the word by the Cosby defense team rats. We were not born yesterday. Look at the sign-up dates...they came on in the last couple of years when the pig-creep’s trials began.

Nowadays, it matters not that it was even true!! The mere accusation will destroy you! SoL or not. The rats did that to Judge Moore. They are trying it on Trump. They will use it on anyone they abhor.

“Black guy goes to jail white guy doesn’t for doing the same thing.”

It reminds me of the trials in the 90s when Mike Tyson and William Kennedy Smith were both on trial for rape at the same time. Tyson got convicted and Smith, Teddy's nephew, got off. It really ticked me off. I genuinely felt the verdicts should have been just the opposite, given the aspects of the cases as publicized.
