One of the jurors spoke out about the conviction and said that Cosby's own words convicted himself.
From: Bill Cosby juror speaks on convicting legend:
Harrison Snyder, who was juror No. 1, said Cosby’s deposition from 2005 and 2006 in which he admitted giving Quaaludes to women he wanted to sleep with was the damning evidence that ultimately convinced the jury he was guilty.
“I think it was his deposition, really. Mr. Cosby admitted to giving these Quaaludes to women, young women, in order to have sex with them,”
...
Snyder also said he believed testimony from Cosby’s chief accuser, Andrea Constand, who recalled for jurors in graphic detail how the now-80-year-old comic gave her pills that made her pass out and how she woke up to him sexually assaulting her at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004.
Five other accusers who took the stand, even though Cosby was not criminally charged with attacking them, were also credible, Snyder said. But he would’ve convicted Cosby without their testimony.
“If you hadn’t heard from the other five, and you just had her word, would that have mattered to you?” asked ABC News reporter Linsey Davis.
“I don’t think so because in the deposition, he stated that he gave these drugs to other women,” Snyder replied. “I don’t think it really necessarily mattered that these other five women were here. Because he said it himself that he used these drugs on other women.”
“So you found it to be his words that were the most damning of all?” Davis asked.
“Yeah,” Snyder answered.
What part of this story do you agree with, as to Cosby being maligned and being a victim in this process?
He seems to have admitted to drugging women to take advantage of them in sexual ways, over many months or years.
What “good works” are you defending from disparagement?
How do you feel about the hypocrisy of Cosby trying to be an example of an exemplary lifestyle, but having these sexual assaults in his past?
“He was drugging women to have sex with them. Screw him.”
From the testimony I’ve heard, the women were offered the drugs and took them willingly, along with the alcohol.
He was drugging women to have sex with them. Screw him.
And you know this how? Saying he gave women recreational drugs is not drugging them! Did they voluntarily take the drug to get a high? Honestly, do you also believe that when women go to college parties and drink to much, and then willingly have sex, they should the next day cry rape? Cause that’s what is happening right now. i don’t think we should encourage that type of behavior, and this Cosby nonsense does exactly that.
Written by Cosby’s lawyers, not his wife.
after he made conservative political statements.
Yep, you do not go off the plantation without consequences...
Maybe she wants him to screw around so he leaves her alone. The pay is good!
“And weren’t there DOZENS of women accusing him?”
Yet this is now SOP for a certain type of character assassination. We’ve seen it used against Herman Cain, against Roy Moore, and against Donald Trump. If there is one accuser with an unprovable accusation, the public will think “well it’s he said, she said”. If a half dozen, or a dozen, or two dozen accusers are found and trotted out with the same unprovable accusations, the public opinion can be swayed.
We know the left uses that tactic to destroy political opponents. Gloria Allred specializes in it nowadays. Why shouldn’t we be extremely skeptical when we see the tactic being deployed?
Camille Cosby = Enabler of a sex predator for 6 decades.
“Cosby admitted under oath that he illegally drugged women...”
He admitted to obtaining the drug, and he admitted to giving the drug to women, but he certainly didn’t admit to “drugging” them, which implies that he gave it to them unknowingly and without their consent. Perhaps he did, but he didn’t admit that.
Totally delusional.
When Mrs. Cosby is in crisis, she says the darnest things!
Wonder who wrote this for Mrs. Enabler?
That is so true. Disgusting.
Louis, Louis, Louis. White guilt does not become you.
