BILL COSBY TO STAND TRIAL!

Plaid Pants2 · ‎03-14-2015

I just got a breaking news alert in my in box. Bill Cosby is scheduled to go on trial for three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault on June 5, Judge Steven O'Neill said Tuesday.

He'll probably get a slap on the wrist, if anything, but at least he's going to stand trial.

Local news stations are reporting on Cosby as I type.

Wait ..... June 5th ..... NEXT YEAR ???

Too far in the future, IMO. It's not like he has a busy concert schedule and is booked solid until then ... lol.

I hear you but it takes time to build up your case, depositions, motions, etc.

All of the local news stations are saying he will go on trial NO LATER THAN 6/5.

As one of the male news anchors pointed out, that means he can go on trial anytime between tomorrow & 6/5/2017.

The female anchor commented, the women waited years to come forward, so whats a few more months for a trial date?

That's not uncommon at all, unfortunately. Sometimes they rush a celebrity murder trial, but most cases take a long time to get to trial. Everyone thinks it's as speedy as it is on TV, but it can take anywhere from months to years for a case to actually reach trial.

I served on a jury for a rape case and it came to trial nearly 2 years after the actual rape had taken place. The victims were minors, around 12 and 14 at the time of the crime. Imagine being a rape victim and having to repeat your story to the police, then to the grand jury, then to an actual jury and facing your rapist at that point over the course of two years. How are victims supposed to heal when we make them repeat the story and relive the event for years? And people wonder why more victims don't come forward.

Good!

Hopefully, his supporters will finally start backing off...

Yes, the women waited years, but Cosby is old and could drop dead (or become incapacitated) before they ever have their day in court .... and that would be a cryin shame!
