Re: Jury Deadlocked in Cosby Trial

I did not realize the trial was over.............and they don't know yet that he is guilty?  My my.................shaking my head.  It is who you know and about the money..........he had a great defense I guess and people see him as the Good guy that he always acted. Only those involved know if it is the truth................I don't understand why they waited so long to come out maybe they wanted to wait until he was older...........either way I do not think even if found innocent he will ever have a great reputation again. They can also file civil suits also correct?

FYI, the Cosby Show has resurfaced recently, it is airing now on Bounce Channel, and TV One.

Re: Jury Deadlocked in Cosby Trial

I knew Cosby was a first class rotter when it came out how he treated his daughter.

 

That, and his sanctimonious rants to other people's teens.  He's a hypocrite, always has been.

 

Always look twice, imo, at people who preach moral superiority to others.  Chances are they're hiding their own twisted behavior.  There are so many examples of that.

I know I was shocked a couple of years back when Seventh Heaven was brought back on to some of the networks.

I am truly sorry for what you went through.

 

 

 

It frustrates me when people will either allude to, or just flat out say something to the effect of, "Well, they should have known better! They must've wanted something from him!", etc.

 

 

No person deserves to be assaulted.

 

 

No one.

 

Thankfully! Society has come far. There was a time in this country legal to beat your wife. Including rape and holding hostage. Appreciate your thoughts. Elderly women assaulted proves anyone can be assaulted including men.

Re: Jury Deadlocked in Cosby Trial

The problem is that the prosecution didn't have any evidence,  not a lick of evidence.  Nothing...   It was a she said-he said case and if I was on that jury I couldn't have voted guilty.  I also don't believe that a grown woman would take a cold medicine from some man, just because the man happens to be Bill Cosby.  Sorry, no one would do that.    He actually had a stronger argument than she had.  Sorry, I can't get by the fact that she maintained a very friendly relationship with him for years after the alleged incident.  When you are a juror, you go by the evidence.  Not by how you feel about Cosby or about men in general.  The verdict had to be on the merits of THIS case and not what the parade of women claimed.  I thought all along it would be a hung jury, an outside chance of an innocent verdict.  I never thought he'd be found guilty.
