Bill Cosby, What the Frick?

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A lawyer for Bill Cosby argued Friday that it would be “terribly embarrassing” for the comedian if documents from a 2005 sex-assault lawsuit were unsealed."

Yeah, we wouldn't want to embarrass a serial
rapist of Cosby's magnitude, that would just
be awful.

Gimee a break. Did he really think he would
get away with it forever?

Why should anything be public before he is convicted of anything, or even put on trial for anything?

the theory is that it is in the public interest to have litigants settle their disputes out of court.
sealing discovery is often done to protect privacy interests and trade secrets.
Paying off someone is not an admission of guilt, its often simply the cheapest way to get rid of adverse headlines.

Report: Bill Cosby Admitted Under Oath to Buying Drugs to "Use" on Women

Quote:

In a deposition on September 29, 2005, the comedian was asked, “When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?”

“Yes,” responded Cosby.

Well. I hope this puts the arguments to rest.

Obviously, somebody drugged Cosby and he
gave false info under oath.

Quote: Fleastiff

I want to see credible evidence.

Would a court transcript from 2005 be credible enough for you? What if the transcript quotes Bill Cosby testifying under oath that he had acquired 7 prescriptions for quaaludes in the 1970s?

Quote: Associated Press

"When you got the quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" lawyer Dolores M. Troiani asked.

"Yes," Cosby answered on Sept. 29, 2005.

"Did you ever give any of these young women the quaaludes without their knowledge?"

Cosby's lawyer again objected, leading Troiani to petition the federal judge to force Cosby to cooperate.

Good for you, Reno. Where there is smoke there can be a smoke machine too, often generated by lawyers.

For your interest, one of the jurors on the rolf harris trial (tie me kangaroo down) was a serving police officer.


Now as to a defendant in a civil suit givinga deposition, its damning evidence for 2005 and perhaps earlier, but the responses were in a fight over money, not guilt. So who knows what he might have been blackmailed into saying or paying off.

The Cos just lost one of his biggest supporters and defenders.
