So Cosby expects to be released from prison when he is 90 years old. Okay.
What an asshole.
Perhaps he’ll pull an OJ Simpson and declare that he’s going to spend his time trying to find the real person who drugged and raped all those women he was with.
People who claim innocence cannot be remorseful.
Just saying…
To be fair, I guess it’s better than to say, “I’m guilty but not remorseful.”
On the other hand, everyone including the legal system and he himself know that he’s guilty, so I guess he kind of is saying that.
When he drugged them he didn’t rape, and when he raped it was some unknown perpetrator who drugged them. Drugging and raping are two separate things and this witch hunt must end.
Red’s speech to the parole board in Shawshank Redemption does not represent reality Mr Cosby.
CMC fnord!
*Have a Coke and shut the fuck up, Bill. *
Yo, Bill. If I was in prison and they served pudding, I’d skip it.
I understand your point, but, in general, it’s possible to claim that you are legally innocent of the charge(s) of which you were convicted without claiming that you have done nothing (morally) wrong, and vice versa.
May I add: Cosby is a loser with no appeal.
A “political prisoner”?? What possible political advantage is there in putting Bill Cosby in jail? The man NEVER was involved in politics, AFAICR. Hell, his staunch neutrality on the Vietnam War caused a long-running feud with Tommy Smothers.
This makes no sense to me. YMMV.
You’re right. It makes no sense. Why would a guilty man make an argument like this that makes no sense? So he must be innocent!
It’s the Chewbacca Defense.
Chewbacca Defense? Would you elaborate?
Because he’s a strong black man. And THE MAN cannot handle a strong black man, so THE MAN has to take him down!!!

When did he do THAT? I remember him being a stand-up comedian and sometime actor. :dubious:
The whole case even came up again because of the election for DA & “Me Too”.
Back when the complaint was first filed, about 10 years before he was arrested the then-DA declined to prosecute citing lack of evidence. There should have been a non-prosecution letter but the then-DA didn’t have it in his files & Cosby’s then-lawyer is long dead. The agreement to not prosecute is why he testified in the civil case, which also was supposedly under seal. Civil cases are routinely postponed until after criminal cases are completed as otherwise the defendant wouldn’t testify as that testimony could be used against them in the criminal trial.
Leading up to the election, the then-DA (who was running again) stated in an on-the-record interview that he reviewed the case many years ago & declined to prosecute as there was not sufficient evidence & that by agreeing to not prosecute it opened the way for Cos to testify in the civil case. His recollection seem correct given that Cos did testify in that civil case.
The political aspect of this is that the current DA did a case of “takebacksies” & that the sealed testimony was leaked & then allowed to be used against him.
Do I think he did it? Probably. Do I think he should have been prosecuted given the agreement that supposedly happened years ago? No way.
