They made the accusation IN COURT as well, and nothing came of it then either. Basically, he's making a claim that has yet to be backed up. Interesting that you buy that claim, rather than the words that Cosby actually says on the tape.

They are basically saying there are mass false accusations being made by women because of racism and (reverse) sexism, to try and bring down powerful men. That's actually in the statement you linked. It's tinfoil hat bullshit. I'm not shocked you take any of it seriously.
Quote:It is no accident that the prosecutor Steele worked so closed with anti-black and anti-male activist Gloria Allred who tried to extort $100 million dollars from Dr. Cosby in 2014 and continues to produce racist and sexist publicity against him.That's a statement by Cosby's attorney. Crazy shit right there.
What is going on in Washington today with Judge Kavanaugh is part of that sex war that Judge O’Neill along with his wife are a part of.
There are several civil suits pending against Cosby from some of his other accusers. This still isn't over. More evidence will come to light
Actually the above was reported on by a number of news sources.

Quote:In a failed, last-ditch bid to keep Cosby free on bail pending his appeal, his lawyers on Tuesday accused prosecutors of playing a doctored tape for the jury.
Cosby’s publicist said afterward that a forensic expert found that a tape Constand’s mother made of a 2005 telephone call with Cosby had been manipulated in two places and was “not an authentic recording.”
During the call, Cosby talks about a plan to pay for Constand’s education.
District Attorney Kevin Steele rejected the allegations, saying it was widely known that Gianna Constand started her recorder after the call began.
“If that’s what they’ve got, it’s beyond a Hail Mary,” Steele said.
Regardless if the tape was doctored or not, according to Pennsylvania law it is a felony to record someone over the phone without their consent, So answer this, why is illegally obtained evidence allowed? Why was damning testimony from a friend of the family that goes against the accuser not allowed?
What about the contradicting testimony?

Quote:Constand filed a police report with the Durham Police Department in 2005, providing information that completely contradicted her testimony in June 2017.
Quote:With the overwhelming amount of contradicting testimony, our editorial department assigned a fact checker to review each section of the original police report filed in Canada with Constand’s testimony. Ironically, Constand’s entire report consisted of statements that would soon contradict everything she said on the stand. This raises questions as to who prepped her for trial. When confronted, Constand mentioned she had problems recalling the exact details because the report was made one-year after the incident. Strangely, Constand remembered more about the incident twelve years later when testifying in Montgomery County last week.
Quote:[3] – Constand mentioned that contact with Cosby was very brief and rare following the incident.
Constand contacted Cosby 72 times via telephone following the alleged assault, including nine times on Valentine’s Day and 30 minutes before police arrived Jan. 13, 2015.
Constand also contacted Cosby at 8:17 a.m. Jan. 13, 2015, before contacting her mother.

Quote:In what could be a major blow to the prosecution's sexual assault case against Bill Cosby, a former model and reality TV star admitted on the witness stand Thursday that she fabricated passages in a memoir -- including a story of "rebuffing" the comedian's advances.
Quote:“Here was 'America’s Dad' on top of me -- a happily married man with five children,” Dickinson testified in Montgomery County Court in Norristown. “And I remember thinking how wrong it was -- how very, very wrong.”
She told the jury that she passed out during the assault, saying, "It was gross."
Dickinson said she confronted Cosby the day after the alleged assault, but he did not acknowledge it occurred.
"I wanted to hit him," she testified. "I wanted to punch him in the face."
Under cross-examination, Cosby's attorney, Tom Mesereau, confronted Dickinson about her 2002 ghostwritten memoir, "No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel."
Mesereau challenged Dickinson's testimony, pointing out her description of the assault differed wildly from the Lake Tahoe encounter with Cosby she described in her memoir.
Holding up a copy of her book, Mesereau cited passages in which she described rebuffing Cosby’s advances in Lake Tahoe, then “popping two Quaaludes and going to sleep” alone in her own hotel room.
Dickinson acknowledged that she concocted stories in the book in order to get a much-needed paycheck.
Now my last question to you is, are you fine with those discrepancies?
