Bill Cosby sentenced

[paints]

If Bill Cosby did these thing to these women then he deserves to serve time, however ALL those women?! Come on and not one spoke up? Someone should have spoke up back in the 70s and the 80s. If I'm not mistaken I think someone did, but I'm surprised they took him straight to jail. I think most of these women liked it. They probably wanted him to give them money. I believe it has a lot to do with racism too. 

They liked being drugged and raped??  Seriously??

It's about time...  So glad to see his money & fame didn't save him from facing the justice that he deserved.  I think he deserved more time than what he got.

The accusations about him were around for years, but no one really thought about challenging them until Hannibal Buress was saying it in his act (for a long time) and someone thought about filming it.  It sort of makes you wonder if someone had latched on to it sooner would more women have come forward earlier and more charges would have been laid.

He will serve 3 or 4 years in a modern prison with all the amenities and when he gets out he will write a book or make a movie about it and be back in the big bucks again so fast it will make your head spin.

Yes, he was sentenced to 3 to 10 years but how long will he really do time?  He was also designated as a sexually violent predator. The designation means that he will be required by law to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and be subject to the most stringent requirements a sex offender can incur.   

lol Which is what? A couple years? He is 81 and suppose to be in poor health. They also say he is blind but he can see what is going on in the court room and can walk unassisted or without a cane. Somebody doesn't know what BLIND means.

I really think the time inbetween was way to long, and hes blind

[countrygirl12]

The judgement was given by a jury of his peers. I still trust, somewhat, in juries and they have reviewed evidence that we will most likely never see. It seems rare, in celebrity cases, that the district attorney wins when facing off against high, profile, professional attorneys with long records of success. I would venture that the district attorney's win may have been due to evidence presented rather than having a higher degree of skill than the staff of seasoned, attorneys hired by Bill Cosby. This was one win for one plaintiff in the face of many women that came forward and accused Bill Cosby. Anything longer than three years is most likely a death sentence given his old age. Registering as a sex offender doesn't really register because he is not likely to be out of prison before he dies and will probably not be in public if he does out live his sentence.

The jury is biased. In every case. They pick the jury based on questions they ask them and they ask them questions to get the answers that will give them the verdict they want.

In order words say somebody is on trial for murder and they are seeking the death penalty. They want people on the jury who will give the death penalty and are against gun ownership. They kick people out who will not give them the outcome they want.

They were not raped. They had sex with him. Several were paid.  They were not doing anything they did not want to do.  There is no way that THAT may women were raped and NONE of them would come forward. They lived in the play boy mansion and they had sex for money. They used him to further their career. They are washed up and don't have a career any longer so they said hey here is a way to get some moolah.

He is not blind. He can see what is going on in the court room and he can walk unassisted and doesn't use a cane.
And being blind doesn't matter.  The only thing that does matter is how many eons of years ago this was.  This is getting ridiculous.  People can come up and accuse somebody of something that happened 40 plus years ago and there is no proof whatsoever and the person being accused is going to jail.  That is wrong.  And NO I do not believe every accusation that people make. Yes, there are women who are raped or assaulted but a LOT of women also LIE.

I doubt it. He is 81 and supposed to be in declining health. He has not done anything in years. He is blind. Remember? He can't see to write a book.  SMH.  I also know 2 people who claim to be legally blind and both drive a car. So maybe they have changed the meaning of the word blind. Idk.

Wow, you know everything about everything don't you.

Blind does not have to mean "completely without sight." Speak to an optometrist and they can explain to you that you can be legally blind having vision impairments such as depth perception or other injuries or conditions. Here is a definition to help you out.

Legal blindness is a level of vision loss that has been legally defined to determine eligibility for benefits. In the United States, this refers to a medically diagnosed central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with the best possible correction, and/or a visual field of 20 degrees or less.

What happens in the night or dark, must comr to light, as my mother always says...

I agree with Countrygirl, these women got what they wanted out of Bill Cosby.  They wanted to get into show business so they did what women do to get what they want.  I think if it  was so bad and back in the day when black men would be hung for just looking at a white women so no I just don't think it is fair.

Yes, dear , they were raped.  Drugging a woman so you can have sex with her without her consent is rape. 
The only person to blame for rape is the rapist.

[dsawan]

he'll do it again
