LAPD opens Bill Cosby investigation

Sad situation all around, his life is basically over, his wife is almost delusional and you feel for the victims. He took full advantage of his position to rape without apology. It's like actor Terrance Howard. Good actor and very handsome...then you find out he has a history of beating women. Then in recent interviews he sounds more bat crap crazy than Charlie Sheen.
 

Bill Cosby needs to answer for this. I'm shocked at his wife's inability to see how much he needs to take responsibility for his actions. Millions loved Cosby and he has disappointed everyone. He must be mentally ill. I'm so sorry for all his victims who suffered. Shame on YOU, Bill Cosby...now is the time to do the right thing.

His wife is in denial. I’m not shocked at all. She’s married to an extremely popular and wealthy celebrity. Personally I think some part of her has to know that there’s truth to the allegations. He’s already admitted drugging one woman to have sex. Mentally ill? Meh, I don’t know about that. But I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for Cosby to take responsibility.

Looks like another wife who looked the other way when it came to her husband's sexual behavior...

I'm thinking drugging and raping women over and over isn't within any normal range of behavior. His wife obviously embraces denial to manage this? Who knows. These people live in their own world. I'm glad he is being called to answer. My sympathy is all with the victims.
 
It's about time... The man has 57 alleged victims... hard to fathom that 57 women are lying with stories so similar. What is disturbing is that because of his wealth and power.. this is not a "He said/she said" proposition.... it took a "he said and 57 she saids" to bring about some action.

I think there's a difference between not behaving in (what most of us think is) a "normal" way vs. actually having a mental illness. I just hope the defense doesn't pull out some lame insanity defense.
 
spouse or business manager

Speaking of Cosby's wife. A dispute in Mass where a suit has been as to wether Cosby's wife can be forced to testify as Cosby's business manager and not his wife. Mass has a spousal privilege clause saying a husband or wife don't have to testify against one or the other. Lawyers for 7 women who sued Cosby want Cosby's wife deposed or as his business manager. Don't like it be in the end she is his wife. This could be a reason why they stayed married because it keeps a lot of potential information out of court.

So now, the civil suit against him has been put on hold in order not to interfere with this new criminal charge. The article says that above all, the complainant in the civil suit wants to see him
in jail.
 
I might add to my previous post that possibly lynching a young woman after routine traffic stop is wrong, that repeatedly tazering a suspect until dead because he annoys you is wrong...Black lives do matter. But Cosby is a criminal even if his skin was purple.

I hope it's not necessary to tell people that lynching is wrong. I'm not seeing where anyone has said anything about the color of Bill Cosby's skin. "Black lives matter" isn't relevant here.I don't understand why you've injected race into the discussion. I also don't see any humor whatsoever in this situation, but apparently you do since you posted a Fat Albert cartoon - Post #28.
 
I apologize if I am duplicating someone's post. I did not read all of the preceding posts. I was watching "First Edition" last evening on TV and Michael Jackson's former attorney, Thomas Mesereau, was on and he was adding his opinion re:the accusations and he stated that he didn't believe that the women would have much of a case for reasons he had stated. (I thought that Bill had already acknowledged that he did take advantage of a few women?) I think this will be interesting from a legal standpoint as we watch the facts come forward and then see how it all unfolds. Laws can sometimes be unfair because how the law reads to you and I is not always the way it is interpreted. The next phase will be the civil cases, regardless if Bill is found innocent or guilty.

I read in People's magazine many years ago when Bill was probably at the height of his career and the interviewer was asking him about his wife and Bill said that she had just celebrated her birthday. The interviewer asked Bill what gift he bought for his wife and Bill asked her what do you get a woman that already has everything? He said that he had bought her a new jet. So, yesterday on TV the announcer said that Bill had just arrived back home in his personal jet. Does that mean that he and his wife both have one?

It's certainly possible...and if he has to pay court costs, fines, and damages to all those victims he might have to having a yard sale of all his expensive toys. It's just beyond stupid. Letting your hootie dictate your behavior. A whole successful career and more money than you need. Now you are old and almost blind and in complete disgrace...pitiful
 
Statutes of limitation are different in each state. My state's SOL is 5 or 6 years, depending on specific circumstances. I believe the SOL on many of the alleged cases has run long ago. The state that has just arraigned has a 12 year statute (Pennsylvania, I think?).
 
Bill Cosby's wife must testify in civil case against him, judge rules

Actor and comedian Bill Cosby arrives for his arraignment on sexual assault charges at the Montgomery …


(Reuters) - In the same week that comedian Bill Cosby was arrested on sexual assault charges, his wife, Camille Cosby, learned she must testify in a civil case against the entertainer filed by seven women who said he defamed them, court documents said.


A federal magistrate judge in Massachusetts on Thursday rejected arguments by Cosby's wife of almost 52 years, who also has been his business manager, that the deposition would represent an "undue burden."


The deposition is scheduled for next Wednesday, a week after Bill Cosby, 78, was charged in Pennsylvania in the only criminal case brought against the actor, who has been accused by more than 50 women of sexually abusing them in incidents dating back decades.
