Ha, that dang karma bus, he must be swearing at it now!

Anyone know what's happening now with Harvey?  Or ... is he still in "rehab"?

@Reever, are you for real? Seriously.  Or are you just yanking our chains with your posts, like the other one in which you have already decided that Brokaw is guilty?

 

You might consider taking a course on the basics of our legal

system.

 



@Reever The death penalty is still legal in Pennsylvania, along with 30 other states. However there is currently a moratorium in place since 2015.  No one in Pennsylvania has been put to death since 1999.  There is only a handful of states that still utilize electrocution, Pennsylvania is not one of them.  I have not read up on the statutes for issuing the death penalty in Pennsylvania, but seriously I rather doubt the charges against him apply.

Here in PA we do no electrocute, we have death by lethal injection (although we have not carried out one in many, many years). Also, these charges do not qualify as a death penalty case (only 1st degree murder does in PA).

@jackthebear

 

???    So what?   Gloria is an advocate for women .... why wouldn't  she make a statement?


because she drags out all these women and makes it about HER not them 


 

I disagree. Sometimes her personality can be grating, so I understand why some people may not like her. But I've never seen her make it all about her.  She answers questions that are directed toward her, and she guides her clients as they answer questions.  That's what all attorneys do, and it's particularly tough when the client is emotional and the crime is abuse.  So she may talk a lot, but it's not about her.  It's about the justice that she's seeking, and that's her job.

 

She's also not "dragging out" random women from the woodwork for no reason.  These are women who were abused, and willing to speak.  Her role is to help them, and she does a great job in that regard.  Every time women speak up for other women it's a victory for us all.


 

@NYC Susan

 

ITA ... and very well stated.    Yes, she can be a bit of a "legal doberman" but she needs to be when standing up for women.  So what?    IMO, there need to be more high-profile advocates for women who know how to work the media.  

 

I know Gloria .... and had lunch with her several years ago.  I got national publicity in conjunction with a charity she was on the Board of Directors of at the time, and wanted to pick her brain on future plans.  She couldn't have been nicer with the brainstorming lunch.  BTW .... there was no money in it for her, but she paid for my lunch and gave me her personal phone number if I ever needed to chat again.   

 

IMO ...  Nice lady in real life.

@Qshopper1991, since you didn't include the quote to which you're referring, I don't know the exact context. But I do know that I vehemently disagree with this statement of yours.

I am new here. I always read this forum so now I have decided to jump in. 

 

Here are my thoughts:

 

1. Why did Cosby think he had to drug women to get them to sleep with him. He was an icon and I think he probably would have no problem getting any woman he wanted. Many women don't care if you're married or not. So why the drugs? I would not even believe that about him,except he admitted it. 

 

2. Does anyone know that his daughter died a couple weeks before the trial started from kidney failure. I think she was in her 40's or 50's. He lost his son years ago. 

 

3. I think the judge was totally wrong in allowing the other women to testify as this was not about them. 

 

4. I have trouble believing all 68 women. Sorry, out of that many SOMEONE would have come forward at the time it happened. Once the first one came forward it was like a tsunami. If 3 came forward and that is all, I would be more apt to believe ALL of them, but 68?

 

5. I think Cosby should be on house arrest, not in the prison system. He is 81, in failing health, is legally blind and he has all the money in the world to pay for his and his wife's old age health care. Why should the State pay. He was found guilty, his life is ruined and that should be enough. 

 

6. I am perplexed by his wife's loyalties, but nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. She must still love the man she fell in love with many years ago so for her sake and age I hope they can stay together and die together. He is already in prison in his mind living with the fact that he was exposed. Is he sorry? Who knows!

 

7. I think Angela, after getting millions, went along with the criminal trial because of Gloria Allred. Gloria is vile. 

 

8. I think the MeToo movement is being blown out of proportion because it now seems that woman are taking advantage and ruining some men's lives with lies because they now can. It benefits them in all ways, they can claim that they are victims and ask for anything they want and so many of them want to take over the world. 

 

9. I am old school and have always despised the Women's Lib Movement that started in the 60's. I feel it was the cause of the breakdown of the family unit. 

 

10. Do I think Cosby is guilty? Yes, for some and no for others. If Cosby didn't admit to drugging women then I would have had a difficult time believing that he was capable of this. But, he was!!!

 

Woo, I wanted to get all that out of my system!

Gloria has an incredible story. She opens up about her own experience.
