What? Star treatment goes too far at times, IMO.

Sad. But celebrities are treated differently

Now lock up the feds who abused their power trying to convict him.

Whoah! Not gonna get off on a political tangent, but suffice it to say the knock-down, drag-out fights are gonna commence over this one now.

KEEP POLITICS OUT OF IT OR YOU’LL BE BOUNCED OUT OF THREAD OR THREAD WILL BE LOCKED. THANK YOU.

I bought a t-shirt with Cosby's picture on it and it says "Drinks are on me" that I'll continue to wear with pride.

I'm buying some popcorn and am watching the inevitable screaming fights on social media, fights that we ain't having here at CZ. LOL.

This is not a po-lit-i-cal issue. Basically, as I understand it, the DA who was prosecuting the case initially made an agreement with him, not to prosecute if he cooperated. The DA that took over the case did not hold up that agreement so the case was overturned. This does not seem to be anything other then a sloppy job of prosecution or just plain old dishonesty on behalf of our judicial system.

Everybody, put your long knives away.....

basically, it’s the right legal decision. Based on the letter of the law, and the wrong moral decision based on the fact that all evidence points to him being a rapist.

This countries judicial system is a joke. Countless women drugged and raped, this clown is pure scum of the earth.

Even the scum of the earth deserve a fair trial.

He's guilty as sin but, without his cooperation, you can't know if the Prosecution could have made their case. They promised him immunity to criminal charges and then screwed it up. His legal team followed the process and got him off.

I know this though, I'd have the prosecutors job, who decided to go forward with legal charges. That's assuming they haven't already moved on to a better gig, based on that conviction.

But I'll tell you what will piss people off. If Cosby turns around and sues for having to serve 2 years, and wins. That's going to be a straight up kick in the nards.

Could be worse, you could be Billy Giles, former Phillies owner, who paid millions to Danny Tartabull so he could hit a foul tip off his foot, brake it in his first at bat, and never get a single hit for the club before he retires from baseball all together.

I mean, it could always be worse Brother.........

Yeah, you're completely right. His legal team is supposed to represent is interests as well as they can, and they did that. I find it very bizarre that when the prosecution team was first considering charging him, they didn't say, "Hey, wait a minute. He was promised immunity. We can't prosecute him." Would saved a lot of taxpayer money. What happened? Was it a different prosecutor, and then this new prosecutor just didn't know? If that's the case, it's strange that they didn't find out in researching the case. You would think they would have first gone over all legal interactions that Cosby had. Someone somewhere has major egg on their face.

True that man.

Speaking of stuff like this. Tomorrow is Bobby Bonilla day. At least I’m not a Mets owner tomorrow. ​
