Default Bill Cosby released.

Bill Cosby released, conviction in sexual assault case overturned

Makes no sense to me. If John Dillinger robbed PA bank 1 and was found not guilty because he made some agreement with the PA prosecutor so that the bank could sue him for the money in a civil case and then he robs bank 2 in another county in PA and is found guilty why should his agreement with bank 1 have any bearing on anything expect that he is a bank robber? He is a bank robber as many could attest. And a well known bank robber. Even if his ex-wife says he does not rob banks.

There seem to be many accusers of Bill Cosby and he admitted in one of these cases that he did it but that was to stop his facing future criminal charges. These other accusers could have been cross-examined by Cosby's lawyers.

Bill Cosby sexual assault cases - Wikipedia

Not in a lot of matters it looks like.

Quote:
As of November 2015, eight related civil suits were active against him.[10][11] Gloria Allred is representing 33 of the alleged victims. In July 2015, some court records were unsealed and released to the public from Andrea Constand's 2005 civil suit against Cosby. The full transcript of his deposition was released to the media by a court reporting service. In his testimony, Cosby admitted to casual sex involving recreational use of the sedative-hypnotic methaqualone (Quaaludes) with a series of young women, and he acknowledged that his dispensing the prescription drug was illegal.[12][13][14]

Was he the most upstanding guy? Don't think so. Did he deserve prison time? Don't think so.

You should look at what other of his accusers allege-- Bill Cosby sexual assault cases - Wikipedia

And you should research Wikipedia. That seems like a false claim that people can add whatever they want. That sounds false. Something someone on Fox might say. It is far more complex than that. Wikipedia:You can and cannot change Wikipedia - Wikipedia

sad that lawyers continue to rule the world that we live in

I'm amazed at all the paperwork I need to sign every time I go to a doctor's office...because his lawyer is trying to protect him from some other guy's lawyer

if there's only one lawyer in town he barely makes a living...two lawyers in a town and they both become multi millionaires

IMHO, we should shut down all the law schools and transform them into medical schools, nursing schools, and trade schools...we have more than enough lawyers...let's educate some people in careers that actually add value

In my opinion, the lesson here is that, if someone commits a crime against you, you need to report it immediately. Showing up years later just doesn't cut it.

That's exactly correct. Legal experts said way back when, that the time elapsed could be an issue. The problem, of course, is that when reporting a crime against the wealthy and powerful, even if it's immediately afterward - justice is often never meted out.

Exactly. While there will always be those occasional women that cry wolf or try to take advantage, it's somehow become popular (by both men and women) in a lot of cases to try and shame the victim - or to only believe the male. Which is the reason so many predators are never even reported in the first place.

Among the accusations and charges, is that Cosby slipped the luudes into the drinks, and the women were not aware that their alcohol had been further drugged.

There's also that crazy quirky adorable little section of wiki that I like to call:
SOURCES.

There's actually a list of sources at the bottom of every wiki page. I know, that's insane, you might think. But danged if it isn't right there. And to the surprise of literally no one with a brain, ever, you can actually check on most of those sources!

That's right, you can do your own fact checking! If a wiki entry says "Jim-bob insisted that the moon was made of green cheese and the earth was flat" and there's a little number after that like (1) - you can scroll down and look at that number and right next to it - there's a source entry.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

Check it out: those numbers? They're in numeric order! OMG WTF BBQ LOL!!! You don't even have to know how to count!
