It was the previous prosecutor that screwed up, refusing to prosecute him for rape, apparently.

Edit: he struck a deal not to prosecute him. What on earth was he doing?

Evil Rape man

I wonder if he will personally shake Biden's hand.

thesheriff443 30-06-2021 09:05 PM

It’s the prosecutors fault he is being released.
Nothing new in America.

LaLaLand 30-06-2021 10:14 PM

It’s crazy because HE ADMITTED IT. Jesus.

Mitchell 30-06-2021 10:33 PM

Jim Davidson is probably phoning him already

GoldHeart 30-06-2021 10:38 PM

Can someone please explain to me why this has happened:huh:

My understanding is
It was agreed that he went on trial and was accused by one woman in that trial the jury reached deadlock so they showed evidence from other accusers

A judge has over turned the guilty verdict saying Cosby had an unfair trial

[Bill Cosby has left prison hours after
his sexual assault conviction was
overturned by Pennsylvania's Supreme Court.
The judges said there had been
a "process violation" by the prosecution,
but admitted their ruling was unusual.


Mr Cosby, 83, served more than two years of
a three to 10-year sentence at a state prison
near Philadelphia.

In 2018 he was found guilty of drugging
and molesting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand.


Mr Cosby is best known for starring in
the 1980s TV series The Cosby Show
and was once known as "America's Dad".

Dozens of women have publicly accused
Mr Cosby of sexual assault, but he was only
tried criminally for the incident against Ms Constand.

His conviction in 2018 was widely
seen as a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement.

I don't understand the court system , then surely he's still guilty.

bots 01-07-2021 03:50 AM

there were 2 procedural issues with the case, one of which was an agreement that he wouldn't be prosecuted for that particular case. The prosecutor probably wanted details of that case so that others could be prosecuted, but it never ended up that way. It's crazy, but they do it usually to obtain guilty verdicts on other crimes

…what a saddening situation that there can’t be proper justice here…and all because of money and a settlement…it seems to be because there was a civil lawsuit and in that civil lawsuit which Andrea Constand sued Bill Cosby for sexual battery and defamation and received an undisclosed financial settlement …part of that settlement was a confidentiality agreement and that compromised any future criminal trial so now justice has had to be overturned basically….what an absolute farce and betrayal to rape victims….Wealth buying immunity from justice even with rape when victims have been drugged to immobility…?….seriously saddening beyond words….everyone involved in this should hang their heads in shame, women are nothing to them…

Amy Jade 01-07-2021 05:37 AM

This is why people are petrified to come forward.

Brave women who this man raped and violated finally had the chance to face their demons and get some form of justice and he gets just 2 years of incarceration while these poor victims have spent their entire lives of trauma.

I know I'd think twice about speaking out if the result was just two years. I'd wonder if going through the process and awful memory's was worth it.

Let’s be honest lawyers are paid massive amounts of money to defend rapist’s and murders and some get their client off with murder and rape by playing the system.

bots 01-07-2021 07:00 AM

in reality he shouldn't have served any jail time at all, it wouldn't surprise me if he files a compensation claim for improper imprisonment, and that would be a new low

unlike Kevin Spacey and that Weinstein loser, and not to forget the greatest monster of them all, Jeffrey Epstein with his henchman Prince Andrew




i've always liked Mr Cosby :flutter: enjoyed watching The Cosby Show as a child (yes in my childhood it also aired here in my nation's tv channels)

He is a convicted rapist who has been wrongfully let out

He said he would serve the twelve years rather than admit remorse

can i just not have my own opinion and believe in someone's innocence :shrug:

bots 01-07-2021 07:52 AM

Nicky, this isn't about different opinion. I believe you are a nice guy, but try to be edgy by copying crap from twitter, and it really isn't smart, because it makes people have a very low opinion of you. If these are your own thoughts, i would recommend educating yourself a bit more before you post

Ammi 01-07-2021 08:07 AM

…(…I don’t know if the sum is accurate…)…but I just read that Andrea Constand agreed to a settlement sum of over 3 million dollars to not pursue a criminal case…but the prosecution pursued it anyway…the agreement was that he was never meant to be tried criminally or have any prison sentence at all…the confidentiality agreement which was part of the settlement should have been upheld…what a screwed up and corrupt system….

he admitted it as part of a tactic to get off and that is why he is now free. he has never actually admitted any guilt

''he admitted it'' :umm2:

well you don't have much of a choice when it is you vs 60 women


maybe the lies got some truths from some of the women but maybe it just wasn't ''rape'' (and some others are liars for media attention in light of #MeToo like i previously mentioned Weinstein, Spacey, Epstein)


i myself am against rapists, predators of course but i just cannot see him being one, i just can't

and for the sake of his age, i'm glad he is out of jail

What does a rapist look like? , Well like I said there's far too many women for it to be false. So there must be truth and evidence.

When Savile was alive , he got away with everything as people either didn't care or didn't believe he could do something like that.


As for Cosby I was shocked when these accusations first came out, of course you don't want to believe it at first if you grew up watching his TV shows and movies.

Ghost dad & meteor man are classics, but now when I see him It's so uncomfortable . I still enjoy those movies though .

I wonder if his age has played apart in him being released now.

She is known for her role as Clair Huxtable on NBC sitcom The Cosby Show (1984–92)

You're free to see things however you want to, but this is the most nonsensical way to judge guilt or innocence, especially when the evidence is pretty overwhelming.

Does his 2 years count as 2 years if the rest of the world have been locked up for a year and a half due to covid?
