Bill Cosby ruling overturned

[Smart Marx]

Rashad is an idiot. Not much else to add to that. Man admitted to doing the rapings during the Civil trial and thought he could get away from it scot free.

If I understand the ruling from the recent case, the admissions weren't supposed to be admissible in a criminal proceedings. Just the civil.

I've never heard the tapes, but that's messed up. That said, I think he only got one charge overturned. Prosecutors should be able to try another case.

I never said you weren't allowed or that I didn't agree lol my bad

That's good. I'm honestly still very confused, but all good I guess.

They can't try another case, none are within the proper time period. He got out on a technicality. Dude is still guilty as sin, and is on record saying he did the crimes.

All the other accusations are out of the statue of limitations?

He's a sick man and 83 at that. I doubt he lives too wonderful a life from here out.

He's likely going to be harassed for the rest of his life or even straight up murdered.

The fact that a crime as heinous as RAPE has a fucking statute of limitations is disgusting. This law needs to be changed now.

Yes they are.

People who are friends or not of him shouldn't be defending this POS is what I'm saying. With Rashad literally said he was innocent, which is fucking ridiculous and insulting.

Unless they are victims of Bill Cosby.

Alleged victims

His legacy is ruined but getting to walk free before his sentence is up is still a damn injustice. It sucks that the law has these damn loopholes.

There have been some changes to the rape statute of limitations. With advances in technology, there have been many states changing the way they charge for rape. This is mainly due to DNA testing not being around in the 70s - mid 90s. Small steps but at least it's a step in the right direction.

I've read comments of people saying they are glad he is free, glad he didn't die in prison because he was wrongly accused, etc.

If you're any type of intelligent human being, comments like that should disgust you and make you feel sick for society. I think in that large list of women who came forward, I wouldn't doubt there were some just looking for a payday, but, I believe many of them that he did this shit to them, and, of course there is the whole self admitted stuff....these technicalities need to be reworked, they are fucking stupid and let dangerous people out. I hope he gets his old ass beat in the streets.

This is why people don't come forward. Regardless of him getting off because of something so stupid, I can't imagine the thoughts of these actual victims and where their head is at.

When my coworker told me that his sentence was overturned, my jaw hit the floor.

I live a block away from where he was tried; the support he had then was through the roof and it never wained.

The man knows what he did and although he’ll live the rest of his days out as a free man, he’s going to have to face judgment eventually.

 

[Lady Redfield]

I suppose the only 'good' thing we can get out of this is that he is an old man, so, his life is near the tail end, so, he wont be able to enjoy a lot of time. That is also if he doesn't end up back in court and tossed back in jail at a later date.

Yeah at this point if a person doesn't believe Cosby isn't guilty then they are in complete denial.

Bill Cosby, Free but Not Exonerated, Faces an Uncertain Future

Though his conviction was overturned, and his team is discussing future work, experts say it’s not likely the ruling will change the public perception of the former star.
