I haven't followed, but this seems to confirm again that with enough money, it's hard to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt.


And I think maybe Cosby has been blind A LONG TIME:

Our entire court system is a joke. Did you see the outcome of the Philando Castile case?

Brian May called, he wants his haircut back.

Haven't heard yet, I'm guessing 10-2 or 11-1 for at least one conviction.

I did not follow that case that closely, but did he not remove his weapon during the stop? I know the video was very sad and dramatic but it did not start until after he had already been shot.

Well, there were two African Americans on the jury, so....

But supposedly this woman continued to see him several times, so between that and the many years that passed it's hardly a slam-dunk.

Bill Cosby raped 58 women. You take 30 of those away he still raped 28 women.
