Today is the anniversary of the Civil Rights Act 0f 1964 — Republikans plan to commemorate it by celebrating the gutting the Voting Rights Act by ideologues on SCOTUS.
Try to burn down a police station or federal building with people inside, assault a police officer or a dreaded republican and you shouldn’t even be held or have charges pressed against you; right all you armchair DAs?
Am the only one who didn’t like the Cosby Show and didn’t actually like him in the 80’s and 90’s? I keep reading that in articles about his release that laud him as being so beloved back then. I was just a kid but I found his humor kind of annoying and even a little cringey.
I’m sorry that the prosecutor made a mistake, and that Cosby had to be released. However, I had said that he’d never spend any time in prison, so at least he got a taste of it for a couple of years. I just wish he had had to serve the whole time. I think that, for him, the even worse punishment is that his reputation as a lovable, trustworthy dad has evaporated. I hope he spends the rest of his miserable life holed up in his mansion, and I hope the people who still support this predatory rapist, are eventually ashamed of themselves.
Aren’t we so proud of ourselves for allowing procedural or technical glitches override trial results? But it’s okay – he was a celebrity, and a minority, and we can’t hold those types accountable…
Wonder how many wealthy, influential men received similar deals from a DA like the one that helped Cosby get off with a technicality? Think about it. A promise of no criminal charges if you self-incriminate yourself in a deposition during a civil suit that results in a financial settlement. Damn sure Cosby wasn’t the first to get this kind of deal.

Cosby the Rapist.

Ooookay. And the fact that he’s free is a massive miscarriage of justice, though I do think that the law is such that he had to be let go.

Lisa is all for drugged rape, why am I not surprised.

Freedom for some, justice for some, but less of both, thanks to the SCOTUS, and Republican Legislatures.

A verbal agreement with witnesses, why should anybody care?

Lisa, dear, Cosby is not free because he was innocent.
Cosby drugged women and had forced sex with them while they were drugged. There is evidence. There was proof. He was found guilty. This is fact.
Do not make him look like a heroic victim.
He was released because someone screwed up. That does not make him innocent. It makes him a wealthy man with a good lawyer who escaped justice.

Comes out he served about 19 days per reported assault.

Bruce Castor should never have been able to promise immunity to Cosby – he did it in his own without a review by a judge or anyone else.
What a surprise that Castor was also part of Trump’s legal team during his second impeachment.

A confessed predator out because of a prosecutorial misstep does not deserve any recognition.

Nevertheless, evidently the Justice system works. Prosecutors have learned a lesson!

How soon should we expect to see the Cosby show back on TV with ads for Jello pudding ?
