Cosby is rich, over 100 million. His lawyers are making boatloads, and part of that is keeping Cosby in denial that he's really going to prison for 3 years because it will be overturned in appeal. That could be why Cosby was not in a glum mood and laughed. He thinks this is just an inconvenience. His lawyers are playing the race card, this is all about lying women and juries hating blacks. It won't work, he'll serve 3 years. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I was thinking he was facing 3-10 years, months ago when he was officially charged (meaning min 3 years, max 10). The sentencing is supposed to narrow it down. No one, when he goes to jail, says "I got 3-10", they say "damn I got 72 months", they KNOW what they got. News should have told us Cosby got 10 years, eligible for parole after 3 years. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25013 | Is it possible Cosby is a sociopath. I just saw an interview with a woman in her 70's that Cosby raped in 1974. She was a co-worker in TV, and he violently raped her in a hotel room. She thought they were friends and she thought he was going to kill her. Afterwards he calmly told her if she said a word she would never work in TV again. She pointed out that he has never expressed any remorse for what he did. That's the hallmark of a sociopath. That actually disturbs me more than him being just a rapist. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | First of all, criminals never express remorse for what they did; they only express remorse for "what happened" and that is always a joke in itself. Any remorse is remorse over being caught and convicted, and is usually said in court prior to sentencing as a sort of ploy for leniency. Most criminals know what they are doing and have their reasons for doing it. They just didn't know they would get caught. Look at that Canadian guy who killed his girlfriend, killed a guy simply because he wanted his old pickup truck on the cheap (by incinerating him alive) and then killed his father for a multi-million dollar inheritance he was about to lose: He cried in court because he was so remorseful. Cosby raped a woman and cowed her into silence. That is what rapists enjoy doing. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Defense attorneys assert that trial judge improperly used 'prior bad acts' testimony in sentencing rather than merely in determining guilt or innocence. Appeal also asserts Sexual Predator statute as unconstitutional and requires a judicial finding of a non-defined psychological term. |

Just spending more of Cosby's Jello money, par for the course. They'll bleed him dry. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
