Bill Cosby Case: mistrial

[chimp3]

Despite the 59 (IIRC) other accusers, retrial will still proceed as though it's a first offense.

Is your objection specific to this case, or all cases impacted by  statutes of limitations ??


BTW, in cases like this and as well as child abuse cases, I have no problem with legislatures re-evaluating existing statutes of limitations. In fact, I remain AMAZED that since the first wave of pedo priest abuse from the 1980s, so many statutes of limitations remain still unchanged.

Hard to dump all this on Cosby when literally thousands of legislators across the nation have FUBAR'd this issue for decades.  I might even cast a stink eye at the voters for perpetuating those same legislators careers.


Looks like we have the governance we either deserve or have earned . . .

I don't really have an objection. if Cosby did this then he deserves to go to jail. I also don't think there should be a statute of limitations on rape. I think it is a crime equivalent to murder. I am also against taking peoples freedom away without convincing evidence. So , the numbers of women claiming he did these crimes would perhaps be evidence if the statute of limitations was not a factor.
