How come there is no official Bill Cosby retrial thread?

Because he isn't a white, thin, 18 year old mass shooting survivor.

The jurors are deliberating as I type,

Because enough already. His legacy is ruined, isn't that enough? And I don't want to watch any trial where Janice Fucking Dickinson is the star witness. Sad.

Those women should have come forward sooner... no reason to wait 20 years.

Cosby is elderly and frail at this point. Who really gives a fuck about this case??

If you were one of his many victims maybe you would care a little bit.

If his victims cared that much... they would have spoken up sooner.

They were afraid to go up against a man of Cos's stature.

And some of them were too busy cashing his checks.

Because excoriating a Black men is nowhere near as satisfying or acceptable as excoriating Jews.

"Because excoriating a Black men is nowhere near as satisfying or acceptable as excoriating Jews. —Life in Bigoted America"

You know, I really want chocolate chip ice cream right now...

“If his victims cared that much... they would have spoken up sooner.”

They DID speak up sooner.

I think the blow's softened since #MeToo happened. More creeps like Weinstein were exposed, so Cosby isn't exactly as much of the lone pariah he was in 2014/2015.

Hell, our President says he grabs women by the pussy.

Cosby got lucky due to the craziness of the past 2 years. He will walk.

He is legally blind, walks with a cane, and is almost 80. His daughter just died 2 months ago. He has one foot in the grave already. There's no point in giving him jail time.

Besides, some of those women were clearly washed up floozies trying to get on the Gloria Allred money train. The actress who said Cosby pushed her down on his crotch backstage at The Tonight Show was revealed as never even being a scheduled guest on that night. Beverly Johnson has a history of falsely accusing her ex-husband of abuse in search of a payout. The 18-year old Playboy model who said Cos dateraped her in 2008 also was exposed for lying. Then, there's Janice Dickinson.

With Cosby's money, influence in Philadelphia, and high powered attorneys along with some of the holes in several of the women's stories, this is a no brainer. A cake walk actually.

The Trump scandals and his assorted krazy kronies have upstaged Cosby. If Cosby is convicted, it'll be a very big deal though.

Franken gone! Weinstein, Lauer creeps, get rid of them. Cosby? Well that's a different matter.

OP - to answer your question - I think R12 pretty much nails it. I just want to add....people are just tired of it by this point. Cosby is lucky at the moment his last name isn't Trump.

Unless of course, Trump pardons him!

Because no one gives a shit about what happens to this fossilized pervert?

Looks like they have a verdict

Guilty on all three counts!

Ok it looks like this is the earliest thread on this.

How in the hell is he able to post bond for an appeal ?....anyone else would be cuffed and escorted out of the courtroom.....seriously.

Three counts ... with the same woman - a 2004 case where statute of limitations hasn’t kicked yet - but with five different women allowed to testify to give accounts of their similar cases.

Up to 10 years in jail for each count!

r23 I read on Twitter 10 years max is for all three counts.

When is Weinstein's trial?

r24....each count is 10 years....the judge can run them together or subsequent to each other......so max possible 30 yrs.

I just heard on msnbc that you t was 10 years per count.

They could be wrong, or it could be that they will be 3 concurrent sentences of 10 years each, adding up to ten years total.

[quote]run them together

Concurrent sentences

[quote]subsequent to each other

Consecutive sentences

I was dumbing it down......you know a lot of DLers lack reading comprehension......

So he's guilty? Sounds about white!

I can’t get over how truly pathetic his wife is.

MARY!

Former Playboy bunnies and other accusers coming out of the courthouse in tears now.

Janice Dickinson was one of the ones who testified

I am just happy. Finally something good.

Mother fucker. Hope he rots. Any attorneys out there? If his lawyers appeal how many max prison years can he get? If there’s any justice he will die in there.

Somewhere Linda Carter is smiling.

Gloria Allred speaking now with a chorus line of victims behind her.

Asshole said, who cares? I CARE YOU GODDAMN FDUCKING ASSHOLE.

One for the team! He knew how to pick his victims, he knew how they would be slammed. What the prosecution did should be tantamount to slander. The jury saw that. I'm very happy today because, for once, being a lesbian fucked up some predatory animal and showed him for what he was. WE knew she didn't let him do fucking anything. Doing my happy dance, though I wish it hadn't come with so many hurt women.

What the DEFENSE did....Sorry, I'm a bit emotional

Favorite tweet: He's heading to Jail-O

HEY HEY HEY

Upthread someone said these women didn't come forward until recently to get onboard Alred's gravy train. That's not true. Some of them have been talking about it for 10 or 15 years and no one believed or paid attention to them until just a few years ago when some comedian started telling jokes about Cosby's reputation in his act.

Will Rudy be a character witness at his sentencing hearing?

Will this affect his comeback tour?

Bill the Pill gets his just desserts.

Now Drumpf needs to get his.

What will Oprah say?

What r47 said

Nothing, R48. It's all been said by a jury in a court of law.

[quote]He unleashed an expletive-filled rant after the verdict, as prosecutors argued he should be denied bail.

Ah, those words are sweet nectar to my ears.

Did the verdict knock the smug smile of off Camille Cosby's face? There's no way in hell that she didn't know what was going.

Why the fuck was Janice there? Did the rejected-by-legal chapter of her book suddenly reappear? Nobody at Random House or wherever had a copy of the original manuscript?

Not. Buying. It.

I'm glad His parents aren't alive. This news would kill them!

R62 No, but it caused her hair to fall out.

I'm basically ok with this.

He'll appeal. The decision to let the other women testify was possible grounds according to a talking head attorney.

Do I think he did it? Yes. Do I think it is legally proven? No.

It's a dangerous slope to go down for these kinds of cases. I was happy for the victims, though.

[quote]Will Rudy be a character witness at his sentencing hearing?

Probably. She'll probably cry about her beloved Mr. Cosby's vision issues and how he should put on home arrest.

There was a case years back where man in his 80s who was in very poor health was convicted of molesting female relative when she was a child. Since he was in poor health, he was put on house arrest and had to be escorted by law enforcement officers to appointments outside the home.

The Washington Post says that Camille only showed up for the closing arguments and wasn't there for the verdict. In fact, he had nobody around him at the verdict who isn't on his payroll (attorneys and PR people).

Camille is probably the one doing the happy dance

Thank God!

We don’t give a shit

To be fair, why waste money on him in jail? They have to pay for all these special services, lock him up in his house and let him foot the bill.

As for Rudy, the actress that played her owes him everything. He never did anything to her, so she should still be grateful. The character of Rudy was SUPPOSED to be a boy, but Cosby thought the girl was so good he made Rudy a girl instead.

Not saying Cosby is innocent or anything, just that the reason he is in the position he's in is because he thought he was a made-man in the cabal, and they would continue to protect him over the decades because they were doing (and still are) the exact same thing. WRONG. Hannibal Buress most likely was deployed to rekindle the dormant accusations by way of a joke and the media controllers were waiting in the wings to make sure the story got traction. The endgame is to take down all our iconic idols (corn fed, world class athlete, Bruce Jenner is now a woman), leaving society demoralized and that much more fragmented. This is premiere social engineering.

Jews, Jews adjacent, and Jew-enables.

All feeling the heat.

Do you think [italic]all[/italic] convicted felons should be given the option of simply staying home instead of going to prison?

Or just him?

The Bounce Channel was airing Cosby reruns right up until the guilty verdict was announced.

Guess they thought Cosby was gonna beat the charges.

Whatever money Cosby has, it should be confiscated, and put towards his jailhouse rent and meals. And his fabulous new wardrobe. After all, orange is the NEW BLACK MAN AT THE BIGHOUSE.

All over my liberal social media are people saying that Cosby was railroaded in another example of American racism, this is a conspiracy to get him to back off from taking over NBC (whatever that means), that a black man is never believed over a white woman, etc.

Ironically, these are often the same people who ridicule white people who make excuses for white male mass shooters as "obvious racism."

R69 is a liar. All the liberals I know are thrilled that he was convicted. Just another dumbass freeper troll using lies to bash liberals

Uh R70 you're hardly one to condemn anyone with childish pejoratives considering that "all the liberals you know" are in no way indicative of every liberal nor the liberal media in the US.

I can't wait until it's Donald Trump's turn.

It just takes one courageous person to open the floodgates sometimes.

I don't know if I could be that person.

R71, you and the alt right losers here are the ones who use childish perjoratives. God, you freepers are dumb. The tiny number of liberals who are complaining about the verdict in no way represent all liberals

Every liberal I know is rejoicing.....even the conservatives I know are rejoicing.......the only people with an issue are the sjw.......

Yes, liberals are rejoicing and will be rejoicing even more when Donald Trump's day comes.

Trumps NEXT

Trump will be immune as long as the Republicans control Congress.

Cosby may be 80, but he does not look so frail to me.

And he seems to have a cataract, but he may be faking the blindness bit.

Does anyone know what his expletive laced rant consisted of? Besides the word "asshole'?

I used to love this guy, and his cartoons and TV shows. I grew up watching him. He was an icon in the African American community, and everyone loved him, blacks, whites, Hispanics.

Fuck him. What he did is beyond criminal, and he’s nothing but a serial rapist. I hope justice can now finally be served, and that these ladies are finally vindicated for being held up as liars who were trying to get paid.

The worst part is that he made himself to look like an upstanding citizen of his community, and was literally fucking women over the entire time.

Bye, bitch!

R12 Is it possible that the woman who claimed something happened at the Tonight show was not booked as an on camera guest, but was there as a guest of someone who was booked or worked there?

I ask because in this time of Google, one would have to be incredibly stupid to lie about something which is so easily checked. I was at the Tonight show as a guest of an on camera booked guest several times myself.
