Bill Cosby

[Captain Nemesis]

If he had been white he would still be in prison

You cant help yourself, can you. Its like a sickness.

 

[transam]

That Cosby spent 2 years in prison
Having been convicted of a crime

that Maxwell woman has spent 1 year in prison to date having not been convicted of any crime

 

[Captain Nemesis]

Now that it is clear he made a deal earlier he was definitely guilty, and the question which needs to be asked is should deals like this be acceptable and allowed?

As always, "it depends".

I am as sure as I can be that when the eventual Covid public inquiry happens, some people will be offered immunity from prosecution to get them to divulge things.

As for "With witnesses claiming they would stay silent and decline to give evidence if they were not granted immunity", well, all we need is a law compelling people to give full and truthful answers to official inquiries. If theyve done nothing wrong they have nothing to fear. If they have, then ($*&em.

That Cosby spent 2 years in prison

Both cases are exactly the same of course so comparison is fair enough - not

 

[sxturbo]

Does that suggest if a new victim comes to light, he can be charged and a new trial initiated?

Yes, that's my understanding

Is it because she is white

no they are not she has not been convicted of any crime

Cosby was

 

[crystal ball]

So why the comparison?

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

no they are not she has not been convicted of any crime

Cosby was

You've failed to see the irony.
No matter, you frequently fail to see facts and truth, and you work on a constructed fantasy.

 

[transam]

So why the comparison?

who said there was a comparison

other than a white woman has been banged up for a year and been found guilty of nowt

were as a black fella was banged up for 2 years having been found guilty of criminal activity

and both have money and can afford the best lawyers

( racism ?)

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

who said there was a comparison

You implied there was a comparison. Remember?

That Cosby spent 2 years in prison
Having been convicted of a crime
that Maxwell woman has spent 1 year in prison to date having not been convicted of any crime

In addition Ghislaine Maxwell was difficult to locate to arrest, and she has refused to cooperate with the enquiry.

same mentality got a bloke off a murder charge ? A few years ago

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Blimey had Cosby been Muslim and the victims white there would be innumerable threads about it on DIYnot.

There would have been persistent and repetitive referrals to it.
