I wasn't there, and  I refuse to believe anything I only read or hear about anyone. 

None of us are part of that family or that marriage, and I think it's wrong and foolish to make judgements on any part of this story.  

None of us are perfect, and I strongly suspect that a few of those accusing him of his so called crimes are nothing more than money grabbers who are riding on the misfortunes of others. For those who were truly victims I am completely sympathetic. For the others who merely want their 15 minutes of fame and some $$$, I have nothing but contempt.

Money grabbers?    "So called" crimes ??  Seriously??

First of all. UNFORTUNATELY, most of these rapes are past the statute of limitations so just where is the money supposedly coming from?

Rape is the most underreported crime in America .... victims often feel too shamed to come forward.  The fact that this was a very successful actor made any attempts to prosecute  (before DNA evidence testing)  seem hopeless.

Those that have lived with the horror of being raped by this monster can at least feel vindicated ...  and finally believed.

Camille Cosby was an admired woman.  Come to think about it, Bill Cosby was once an admired man.  I have little doubt she knew what was going on.  By remaining silent, she condoned his behavior.  Mrs. Cosby is a highly educated person and knows the business. I have no respect for her, but will always have empathy when it comes to the tragic loss of their son.

Odd!

I've read this several times now and still don't know what you're getting  at. Could you clarify?

And your "women don't believe the victims" statement is incorrect. There are undoubtedly some women, but if you go by the threads here, they are in the distinct minority.

I guess it's not to surprising she'd defend Bill, since she's his wife and business manager.  She has a little bit at stake.

The last I heard and/or read, there has not even been a trial, Criminal or Civil. What happened to our country's motto of: "innocent until proven guilty" in a court of law?

We had a tiny Court Room Judge wedding, but I distinctly remember the phrase, "through better and through worse", and my wife and my pledge to each other. 

I realize marriage, to many, is just a phase or "learning from our mistakes" experience, but that is not the case our personal marriage.  Could it be his wife looks at her marriage the same as my wife and I ?

Sure, he might look and sound guilty to some, but i will reserve my opinion of innocent until proven guilty, in a court of law, not a poll or court of public opinion.

Now!  Let'er rip, I'm ready.

No argument from me. She's married to the man.

Who knows what her motives are - it could be for monetary gain, on the other hand, it's possible that she actually loves him and believes him.

I'm not going to judge her.........

Oops, looks like we killed the thread! Sorry!

John, I explained it on another line where you said the same thing.

Cosby admitted he drugged women he wanted to have sex with.  He admitted he bought drugs for that purpose.

He made a LEGAL DEPOSITION admitting this.

Why do you keep saying nothing was legal and there is no evidence.

COSBY CONFESSED the above.

That's just sad.  Reducing serial rape, or even just the charge of serial rape, to time for popcorn.

But... we have seen this before as a response to women being abused and assaulted.
