Jesus Christ almighty. That son of a bitch should have gotten life.

 

[tlongII]

Well he's in his 80's. He might die in prison.

I'll cross my fingers.

I hope he finds cockroaches in his food and has to provide bedtime entertainment for some big mean guy before he croaks.

I hate to think that's what it came down to.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

SOUNDS ABOUT WHITE......oh wait.

Damn, a black man putting one over on the system. What's the world coming to?

It's got nothing to do with his skin color. It's got a lot to do with a rapist getting away with it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

It's got nothing to do with his skin color. It's got a lot to do with a rapist getting away with it.

But people always say its white guys getting away with it. Here is a black dude (albeit rich and famous) getting away with it.

Or maybe because Cosby was whitewashed. Who knows. I thought whenever a rapist got away, its a black and white thing.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

He was convicted of "aggravated indecent assault".

Had to look that one up. Looks like it does not involve penetration so it isn't rape.

https://definitions.uslegal.com/i/indecent-assault/

Indecent assault is an assault that is sexual in nature. Any person who has indecent contact with another or takes indecent liberties with a person without his or her consent is guilty of indecent assault. It is a sex crime.

Example of a State Statute on Indecent Assault

In Pennsylvania18 Pa.C.S. § 3126 defines Indecent assault as follows:

§ 3126. Indecent assault

(a) OFFENSE DEFINED.-- A person is guilty of indecent assault if the person has indecent contact with the complainant, causes the complainant to have indecent contact with the person or intentionally causes the complainant to come into contact with seminal fluid, urine or feces for the purpose of arousing sexual desire in the person or the complainant and:

(1) the person does so without the complainant's consent;

(2) the person does so by forcible compulsion;

(3) the person does so by threat of forcible compulsion that would prevent resistance by a person of reasonable resolution;

(4) the complainant is unconscious or the person knows that the complainant is unaware that the indecent contact is occurring;

(5) the person has substantially impaired the complainant's power to appraise or control his or her conduct by administering or employing, without the knowledge of the complainant, drugs, intoxicants or other means for the purpose of preventing resistance;

(6) the complainant suffers from a mental disability which renders the complainant incapable of consent;

(7) the complainant is less than 13 years of age; or

(8) the complainant is less than 16 years of age and the person is four or more years older than the complainant and the complainant and the person are not married to each other.

(b) GRADING.-- Indecent assault shall be graded as follows:

(1) An offense under subsection (a)(1) or (8) is a misdemeanor of the second degree.

(2) An offense under subsection (a)(2), (3), (4), (5) or (6) is a misdemeanor of the first degree.

(3) An offense under subsection (a)(7) is a misdemeanor of the first degree unless any of the following apply, in which case it is a felony of the third degree:

(i) It is a second or subsequent offense.

(ii) There has been a course of conduct of indecent assault by the person.

(iii) The indecent assault was committed by touching the complainant's sexual or intimate parts with sexual or intimate parts of the person.

(iv) The indecent assault is committed by touching the person's sexual or intimate parts with the complainant's sexual or intimate parts.

No--it's usually a privelege thing of some sort...this time it's probably mostly fame and money, not color.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Doesn't he have more trials?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

No--it's usually a privelege thing of some sort...this time it's probably mostly fame and money, not color.

But if he had been white, no doubt the concept of "white privilege" would have been raised.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

But if he had been white, no doubt the concept of "white privilege" would have been raised.

And since he's not, that obviously doesn't apply. Ergo...money.

 

[barfo]

And if he was Batman, we'd have to investigate the Batlude factory in the Batcave.

But since he's not, we don't.

That depends on her preferred gender identity, does it not?

...this is true...hmmm, I wonder, should we also consider hermaphrodites?

So why is that any different than that douchy kid from Stanford?

It really isn't.

Maybe, just maybe, having lots of money like a Cosby or OJ is a bigger factor than race?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

It really isn't.

Neither charged with rape.

 

[KingSpeed]

OJ?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

OJ?

Glove did not fit.

 

[Chris Craig]

Glove did not fit.

That son of a bitch was spreading his fingers

...the prosecution completely blew that case...seemed like like they were almost trying to lose on purpose.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Cosby lawyers blaming racism.

What is the purpose of prison time?

Rehabilitation?

Vengeance?
