Do I believe they are both capable of shamming and pretending what his supposed medical condition might be reported to be? You betcha.

Is it possible (I'm not saying likely) that Camille knew all this time her husband was cheating, while never dreaming he was raping? Disengaged women frequently put up with philandering men, but I just cannot imagine any woman tolerating a rapist.

I agree.  I don't know how Hollywood works, but how would she know about the rapes, assuming all of what we hear is true?  Who would tell her?  Maybe she knew he was fooling around, and that would have been painful for her.  She had children.  It seems that many (most?) rich stars are unfaithful, at least going by what one hears in the media.

I certainly could believe she has always known about and put up with cheating. I could even believe she didn't know for a "while", but I can't believe she's been totally unaware of allegations and reputation/rumors for 40 years. I can believe she knew past a certain point, but told him "don't tell me anything, I don't want to know" because of exactly what has happened.

I doubt he'll plead to any lesser charge.  He's been pretty adament about being not guilty.

This will get very ugly and I feel bad for the women involved.  Lots of mud slung their way I'm sure.

I wonder if there are women who just won't step forward and hope that the others will forge ahead.

Cheating is very common with men in ALL walks of life .... it certainly isn't unique to just "rich stars".    Haven't you heard of Ashley Madison?

I'm watching it now on west coast GMA .... he must appear at 4pm today for the arraignment and, if prosecuted, could serve 12 years in jail.    

YEEEE - HAAAA !!!!

Let's not start celebrating before anything actually happens.

The key words in your post are "IF PROSECUTED".

Odds are, he'll get off with nothing more than a stern admonishment.

Why do you think that?    

This case was closed and now re-opened due to new evidence that would make it a strong case.   The ABC news legal analyst said something about Pennsylvania law being .... blah blah .... I didn't catch it, but it implied there was a special advantage.    Well, we shall see .....

Cosby admitted at the 2005 deposition - where he was sued in Civil Court - he drugged the victim.   Cosby's Attorney stated this deposition was NOT to be released but a Court Reporter released the documents anyway.  By accident or intentionally - who knows.  I do not know if that document and its contents can be used in court.  

The State's Attorney (2004) at the time did not want to charge Cosby due to a lack of evidence.  I think he was also reluctant to put the Victim through a trial with the 'evidence' or lack there of.   Additionally - if you have been inside a court room enough - the Victim is dragged down to the lowest level.  Anything the Defendents Attorney can do to mislead a Judge or Jury they will try.

I love what prosecutor Kevin Steele said about this case, from the NY Daily News:

“A person in that state cannot give consent” to engaging in sex, Steele said, perhaps signaling how he intends to win the he said-she said contest about an interaction so long ago between just two people, when all the world knows that with the toll of Cosby’s alleged victims standing at more like 60, the weight of the evidence is actually he said-she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said.
