Well...he's not completely wrong, just a complete piece of shit with a twist on it. This is a stereotype for a reason thanks to bitter skanks.

And I don't care what people say, I don't believe for a second Bill Cosby was guilty in any of these.

Really? Must be some sort of American attachment to Cosby, because never having known him, I never doubted his guilt for a moment.

It's a matter of character. You can tell Weinstein was a fucking pervert and degenerate by how he treated women, and people in general. Cosby has always been a bit of a prig when it comes to how people act and how they are supposed to behave, but never in that closet degenerate way of the uptight. He's been a conservative father figure his latter half of his career, but he started in the same clubs as Lenny Bruce and Joan Rivers. He was good friends with Joan Rivers and she never said anything bad about him, and that bitch went for the throat with everyone.

The secret recording of him trying to guilt-trip and shame a woman into having sex with him was basically all I needed to hear to convince me the dude was a predator.

Non-American news about America is notoriously slanted because of the global inferiority complex non-American countries have. They need America to look bad along with everyone and everything in it to make themselves feel better. It's quite sad.

That said, even American news was immediately on the Kill Cosby Express because it happened in the middle of metoo, the movement that was so hair triggered (if you'll excuse the pun) that it managed to annihilate the collective credibility of women in a couple years.

I really have no idea if it's true or not, because the American justice system is a complete joke and "guilt" is based entirely on your place on the progressive stack, who you're sided with, and who you know personally

Yes, I suspect that if the accusations happened now in the BLM era, the coverage would have been much different.

I never doubted his guilt for a moment.

So you're an idiot who believed all women instead of looking at how the media went about assassinating his character and everything his character stood for (viz., RESPONSIBLE father figures, BLACKS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS, promoting a nuclear family, moving away from drug/gang culture, promoting Conservative family values, etc.)?

I usually just ignore your comments and move on, but I absolutely abhor to the very core of my being people like you who enable the degenerate slide our society has taken by siding with people against the basic principles that keep society civil.

Note this appeal isn't about the evidence. It's procedural on the prosecution doing their job wrong.

– APDSmith 2 points 4 years ago +2 / -0

As I understand it, "doing their job wrong" in this case includes entering compelled testimony - compelled on the grounds that it would not be used in a prosecution, eliminating any 5th amendment barriers - and then promptly using this compelled testimony in a prosecution.

So yes, it is very much about evidence. It's also about a prosecutor discarding the civil rights of a suspect when inconvenient.

He's being released because the prosecutor used a bullshit character attack strategy.

Considering this information, it's honestly shocking that he was convicted at all. Did he/his lawyers not remember/realise he had immunity until after the trial? How was this not bought up then? How was the case not immediately dead in the water?

The malaise instilled in the general public by the media zeitgeist to cast people in an evil light is bigger than judicial law.

It doesn't matter what the truth is, only what the media wants you to believe.

They did bring it up but the judge overruled their objections to the admission of the incriminating evidence.

That being said, as far as I can tell. He admitted to obtaining Qualuudes to use on Chicks. He had immunity for making that statement.

Great to have good lawyers I guess.

I mean, it was the 70's. People popped ludes recreationally and having some to share was definitely a way to pick up peeps in the club scene.

yeah "use on chicks" is something that can easily be morphed from "use with chicks" if you're a journalist.

– Hyponoeo 3 points 4 years ago +3 / -0

I guess I would need to know the context of how he said it. Did he use it to use "on them secretly without their knowledge" or as a drug to use with them because it was the 70s.... That is a significant difference.

I don't know I didn't follow the trial. I just need more info on that statement.

Run that by me again. Cosby made statements in civil court, presumably a "he said she said" case with himself and some of his accusers.

The prosecutor took the statements he made there, and used them as evidence in criminal court, under a completely different crime, after explicitly promising not to do so in Cosby's immunity agreement.

Bill Cosby offered some sort of fame and help for these young women in exchange for sex. I know in one case he offered a nobody, wannabe actress an apartment in Manhattan for free, as well as acting classes for free in exchange for sex. She accepted it. Thirty plus years later she sees other women accusing him and getting attention and money and she wants a piece herself.

There may have been cases of drugging and having sex with women without their consent but when one of those cases is considered along with cases like the above both lose power. On some level these women were trying to manipulate the system to squeeze more money and notoriety out of him.

Guys read the appeals. He wasn't let out because of a lack of evidence. He was let out because the prosecution overplayed their hand and used a shitty character assassination tactic.

This was actually around the time when feminist pushed a video of so called "street harrassment" where they had an attractive woman walk around new york for 8 hours and got like 2 minutes of men trying to talk to her out of it. All the men were black or hispanic.

It would be funny on it's own.

He wasn't exonerated. It was a procedural thing. The prosecution fucked up and overplayed their hand basically.

Prosecution neglected basic jurisprudence and proceeded with an illegal trial, and then ALSO brought in multiple accusers on a single charge trial. The only reason the trial made it to a judgement is because the judge was willing to ignore all the rules and was evidently massively biased.

I'm sorry, why is Cosby being released? I happen to know he was railroaded for crimes far worse than he actually did, (thank you feminists) but I wasn't expecting anything to come out of it.
