Bill Cosby Loses Sex Assault Lawsuit and Faces a $59 Million Judgment

He's dead to most of us.

I was thinking the same thing lol

No seriously, he’s still alive?

Gonna live forever. All ghouls do unfortunately

Yeah, I'm confused. Probably mixed him up with OJ.

Evil people tend to live long lives.

Not only alive, but free. He skated out of prison on a technicality several years ago.

Wild. Mandela Effect in full swing on this one. Myself included. 

I just looked this up last week

He's pretty much a living corpse in his home.

Old pedos never die, apparently.

No that everyone has been reminded, he’ll probably be nominated for HUD Secretary.

Came to say the same thing. For real, he’s alive?

The evil scumbags seem to live forever

Yeah. They wheeled him over an aisle to be near the jello pudding

Not for the life of this judgement

Well, tbf, the screw up was taking him to trial after the immunity deal. So either way he would have been out. Had the mistake not happened he never would have been convicted to begin with The real mistake was giving him a sweetheart immunity deal to begin with in a civil case.

Cosby gave a statement in a previous deposition for a 2005 civil  case where he wouldn't be punished for anything he said, and he talked about drugging women then. Then in his criminal trial, they used that civil case deposition testimonial to get a guilty verdict and punish Cosby. So they broke the agreement previously made and vacated his guilty verdict.

Yes. He was let off on a technicality but IANAL so I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact details. But they basically let him go because someone fucked up.

Yeah, but as much as it sucks, it was the right decision. Basically, he got immunity from Prosecution #1 for any testimony he gave. Then Prosecution #2 later used said testimony in court to get a guilty verdict. It's like if they caught some mid-level mob guy and said, "Tell us everything you know about the bosses, and you'll avoid jail time," only to turn around and convict him of murder. Sure, the guy is a scumbag killer, but the government can't start giving out offers only to renege later.

He can thank one of Donald Trump's idiot lawyers for that.

Even if he were in prison, he would be doing easy time which is what was happening when he was there before they let him out. Same with R Kelly and any popular celebrity. All the prisoners treat them like kings and since they're rich, they can easily just give out commissary to groups of people that will look for them 24/7. Same with the guards that will look out for them because they get to go to work and interact with a famous person. The only "famous" person I heard of having a hard time was Jared to subway guy. Someone apparently throw something upside his head. but that's about it. I think what hurts Cosby the most is that his legacy is forever tarnished. if he had never done the horrible stuff he did, he could die forever being a legend that's admire forever. but now, there's going to be an effort to forget him most likely. Although...if I can be honest...I don't think a lot of people care. People still speak positively about him. There's no denying that he did a LOT for black people. He's the reason black stunt doubles became a thing when they did for example. It was whites only until he used his pull to get black stunt doubles and form a group of them. But still, overall, that huge and heavy stain on his legacy is always going to be there. and I bet that eats him up. it really does suck. As a black man, he was one of the few I famous black I thought I could look up to. It's like finding out your hero was a monster the whole time. i see the downplaying and pretending it didn't happen with a lot of things. Like...we see people online talk about how livid they are towards criminal behavior...but out in the real world, so many people just don't give a shit about criminals doing horrible stuff anyone, whether it's women like with Cosby or with underaged girls like with R Kelly. Look at how popular Chris Brown is...and all his fans are women... I saw a compilation of female judges giving light sentences to rapists and assaulters like 3 or 4 years ago. I hear too many stories about family members blaming the victim and the messenger when they tell on the adult that's been assaulting them. They'd rather keep it quiet so that their family doesn't look bad and they just continue to let it happen in many cases...So it's really a shame that people will continue to support bad people...and it's almost ever group of people...even here on reddit, people will celebrate horrible people and terrorists so long as it fits the narrow world view or it's purely optics.

I really dont understand why we let off elderly people with basically no punishments for their crimes. I saw a story of a rich 80 year old lady who sped into a bus stop killing an entire family of four and her defense was "i dont know what happened". She didnt get any jail time cause of her age. So once you become old, seems like you can just do whoever you want and you wont even go to prison

The article seems to be outdated, looks like it's $19million

Have you forgotten who’s president?

They can do anything remember, even grab them by the p****!

We all died in 2020, and this is our Silent Hill.

No more Puddin Pops

So she has a track record of protecting rich rapists. I wonder how many others in the US government do. Something tell me there is a lot more then 1 persons name in the epstine class files.

>And WHY is this pos not in jail???? He was lied to about immunity. He had a deal/contract, and the prosecutor violated it. I hate sexual predators as much as the next person, but the legal system needs to be followed. That said, I'm the first to say the legal system is extremely corrupt.....but I never support throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The prosecutor violated his 5th amendment rights.

They technically violated his rights. They promised him immunity but still used the evidence against him. The district lawyer on his case wanted to win an election. The Cosby case was a perfect opportunity to make themselves important. Cosby's lawyer also beat the same lawyer in a previous election so... It's kinda fucked what happened. But eh he wouldn't have to face prison either way if they followed the law by the book.

FTA: The jury award came in two separate decisions. It first awarded Ms. Motsinger $19.25 million to compensate her for her pain and suffering and then later levied an additional $40 million in punitive damages.

I think they said this victim was from the early 70’s. Long before the Cosby show ever aired.

I grew up watching him on I Spy and of course Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids. My mom had all his comedy albums and we would sit around and listen to them as a family. Finding out what a monster he is was devastating. I'm glad Mom didn't live to see it.

His estate will be liable
