Cosby Sentence

[LadyForCamus]

Huggy, no one is saying that is wrong.  What Shell and I are trying to communicate to you through our personal experiences; what people have been trying and failing to get through to you throughout this thread without anyone having to talk personally about their own rapes; is that there are legitimate, justified, psychological reasons victims of sexual assault don’t report the crime to authorities.  The length of time that it takes for a victim to come forward is not related in any way to the likelihood of that person telling the truth about the assault.  Of course, to convict a man in a court of law there should be some corroborating evidence to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.  But, what we’re saying to you is, taking a long time to come forward is not evidence that contradicts an alleged assault.  “If she was really raped, she would have told someone”, is a non-sequitur.

I've never once questioned why it took the accusers so long to come forward,  it has no relevance to this case because statute of limitations is in effect. My issue is with the facts of the TRIAL which involved ONE woman and she went to the police within a year of the incident.

I don't believe anyone in this whole thread has stated  “If she was really raped, she would have told someone”.

I believe we're in agreement for the most part, but I will address this.

That's a stretch. He was a goofy-ass motherfucker, if you ask me.

That's because you haven't seen a young Cosby, our introduction to Cosby was in the 80's - 90's which by that time he was in his 50's.

It’s the fact that you can sweepingly dismiss over fifty accusations as, “fake” that blows my mind, Huggy. Do you know how statistically rare false rape accusations are?  The notion that one unlucky man would get like, all of them for the entire year...lol.  ‘Astronomically improbable’ doesn’t even describe it.  That’s not a rational position.

Yeah, like I said, one false accusation is plausible, several is pushing credibility, and 60 (barring any real evidence to back those claims up) is basically pimp-slapping willing suspension of disbelief.

I might have misunderstood you, and that is mostly because I am currently drinking a large volume of wine. Apologies, and forgive me! ?

[Rev. Rye]

I suppose I didn't use the "pimp slapping willing suspension of disbelief" image in that previous post. That might have thrown you off after a couple glasses. Will edit accordingly.

I've been asking all along; where is the evidence? Yet no one can point to any.

Ask the lawyers. Most of us don't presume to know the details of the case better than people who were directly involved in it. If the verdict was wrong - that's what appeals are for. Why the f*ck would anyone rely on YOUR legal expertise and your wacky conspiracy theories? I guess you're the only African American smart enough to have figured it out, huh? Shame Cosby doesn't have you for a lawyer...

You keep bringing up the 60 women but I keep having to tell you that COSBY WASN'T ON TRIAL FOR 60 WOMEN. they are irrelevant to this case. He was on trial for one woman.

Yes, we get it. You're not saying he's not a rapist. You're saying he should have gotten away with it. Duly noted.

Now if you were talking about 60 average everyday women, then you may have a point, but these were a bunch of Hollywood hopefuls who would do anything to make it big, why do you think a such thing as a casting couch exists if people wern't willing to do certain to be cast in movie roles.

Yes, we get it - they are painted whores, not saintly women like your mother, so they deserved some raping...

There was a story about Michael Bay getting Megan fox to audition for a movie by washing his car in a bikini while he filmed it.

All these women who never made it big see this as another way to score some cash.

Well, then - why didn't they get the cash?

You remember all the accusers Michael Jackson had?

Nowhere near 60, let me reassure you. He didn't live as long as Cosby.

Every one of the kids confessed as adult and said that Micheal never molested them. So please, the amount of accusers means nothing when everyone involved stands to get a big payout.

Again - what payout? Which of those over 60 women got paid, by whom and how much? Where are you getting all that information?

Constand already got a 3.5 million settlement, that deposition which you guys love to bring up was from that, which was supposed to be sealed as part of the settlement. we see that got thrown out the window.

Mhmmm.... And the other 61?
