Bill Cosby Guilty!

I'm with the charity thing. Especially to a victim's assistance center or a women's shelter where they specifically take in abused women and children. We have one in my area.

What do you think of my idea of seizing all his loot and dividing between the victims leaving just enough to stick him in a senior assisted living home from which he is not allowed to  venture?

I'm guessing that's just a joke, but in case anybody seriously thinks that - I think that kind of thing might undermine public credibility of any victims of rich rapists, who might come out in the future.

An exceedingly "generous" charity donation might be a better option.

Jimmy Savile had a number of accusers in the triple digits and was only publicly outed about a year after his death.

Last year, I went to Al Johnson's Swedish restaurant. The waitress who served me and my Dad had a lot of bruises on her and a terminal case of nerves. On the drive back to the cottage, I wished I had looked up the name and number of the nearest women's shelter. Fortunately, I have now, and if I see someone in that situation again up there, I'll take a napkin and write "HELP of Door County, 219 Green Bay Rd, Sturgeon Bay 920-743-8818." Then again, given that Door County is one of those places that requires long car trips to get anywhere, it might be a difficult place to actually get to, and even in my case, barring emergencies that require a trip down-county we just go down to Sturgeon Bay once on the drive up, once on the drive down, and once Midway through to drop off laundry. And even then, we almost never go to the other side of the bridge (where the shelter is located) until it’s time to come up or leave.

(The drive from the restaurant to the shelter on Google Maps is about 33 miles)

LOL.  Of course you believe Cosby is innocent.  Why would I expect anything different from you?  Priest says he miraculously healed crippled dude = totally believable. It happened! Proof of a supernatural event!  Over 50 women testify that a popular male celebrity sexually assaulted them = ridiculous!  It’s a set up! He’s innocent!

Huggy, your brain is broken.

My question to you is: where is the line of demarcation between rare medical occurrences and divine intervention, and how did you establish such criteria?  And remember, if you are asserting something is a 'miracle' that burden of proof is yours.   Of course, all of this ignores the fact that testimonials are one of the lowest quality, and least reliable forms of scientific evidence.  People lie.

*emphasis mine*

The point you think you’re making here is invalid, because you’re conflating the likelihood of these two claims as equally probable. Extraordinary claims demand the highest caliber of evidence to be rationally accepted as true. My comment  that you quoted above only serves to further highlight your lack critical thinking skills, so good job with that.  Thanks for doing my work for me.

It's a crazy world we live in, when it turns out Bill Cosby is one of the worst serial rapists of all time. Sad that he couldn't be caught until he's practically dead.

Him and Weinstein and who knows who else.

All of them belong under the prison.

Searching for a three year old quote, that takes dedication.

I think he keeps a spreadsheet. 😁

According to what? If a person chooses to believe an "extraordinary claim" that's their prerogative.

The criminal justice system however is supposed to afford everyone a fair trial.

A motion filed late Friday afternoon says the man, who was elected as Juror 11, said, "I just think he's guilty, so we can all be done and get out of here," during the jury selection process.
Another prospective juror, who was ultimately not selected, says she heard the comment while a small group of jurors were waiting be individually questioned by the judge, the defense says.

This Juror was clearly not impartial and should of been dismissed by the judge but was not.

Andrea Constand once said she could fabricate sexual assault claims against a celebrity for financial gain, a key defense witness testified Wednesday in Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial.

Marguerite Jackson, who worked at Temple University with Constand, told jurors in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania that the two shared a room during a basketball trip to Rhode Island in February 2004. While watching a news report about a celebrity accused of drugging and sexually assaulting someone, Constand said "something similar happened to me," said Jackson, one of several defense witnesses.

"I was like, 'Really, who? When?" Jackson recounted.

"She said 'she wasn't going to say,' and I said, 'Did you report it?'"

Constand said she did not report the claim "because I couldn't prove it," according to Jackson.

After Jackson asked her if it was true a third time, Constand said it was not but she could say it was.

"I could file a civil suit, get that money, quit my job, go back to school, and start a business," Constand said, according to Jackson.

Like I said, the trial was a farce.

Funny that you equate parroting what the rest of the mindless sheep are saying to "critical thinking skills".

Hmmm, a black man convicted solely on inconsistent testimony with zero evidence...

Yes I remember that case. 'If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit.'

A case in which a racist cop planted evidence.

A case in which the sister of Nicole Brow Simpson was dating a known mafia hitman.

A case in which other waiters that worked with Ron Goldman at the Mezzeluna restaurant were also murdered.

In all I believe it was 3 close acquaintances of both Ron and Nicole that were murdered, one in a similar manner to Ron and Nicole...

Funny that you quote someone else saying witness testimony isn't credible (not in those exact words) yet you are NOW using witness testimony to try and make a point. 

You can't have it both ways asshole.
