Bill Cosby - Guilty on all counts

Here's the sad part - in Cosby's mind, it was consensual. He "knows" that all those women wanted him.


edited to add: As for jail time, meh, he would never be in general population, and at 80 and blind, not sure what good it would do. Justice does not require revenge.
 
Yes. He was found guilty in a court of law.

Somehow, I feel a bit sad because I liked him so much, I think in the beginning, I was hoping the charges were false; some mistake, etc. I wanted him to be innocent. Now, I know that s.o.b ripped off my trust and admiration for his talent.

As far as jail time, he deserves it.

Me too. I liked the guy so much that I was hoping it was all false but there’s no way. He does deserve time in jail. No kushy lifestyle. It’s still heart breaking to all cause he cheated all of us from being the role model he was ‘pretending’ to be.
 
His conviction will be appealed but he should meaning probably will see prison as opposed to house arrest or any other joke of justice. Bill, I bought your first album when I was very young. Today I am home and enjoying beautiful weather by the pool. What are you doing today?
 
All this hostility , and as far as I have heard since day one....not one ounce of proof...only accusation. Some of these cases go back years...some as far back as 50 years !...what ever happened to the statute of limitation ?

Maybe he did ? & maybe he didn't...only the two in the room know...but we appear to be moving toward a system that only requires accusation...finger pointing.

As far as the alleged drugs go?...if the women involved took them voluntarily ?...then I feel no compassion for them. It is no different than these bogus 'date-rape' charges when the women involved even admit..they.." drank too much" and he took advantage of me...B.S...!

So why did he pay one of them off?
 
rgp said:
Just a guess...but I would think in hopes of just making it all go away early on.....pay-offs happen all the time.

That may have been his one real mistake...that put dollar signs in the other's eyes.

Most payoffs happen because they are guilty. If there are many others claiming the same thing , why pay off even ONE of them if it wasn’t true?

Well....I disagree with the first part...but that is opinion...and impossible to prove.

I believe the one paid off was early on?...& again [opinion] opened the door for the fire storm. He should have just ignored.....

I'll only address the one comment in your post, rgp.

I think you're ignoring or forgetting that in his deposition, Cosby admitted giving drugs to women then having sex with them. (Look at the 3rd paragraph in this article.)
