All the organisations that shunned him should continue to do so. A legal technicality shouldn't be enough to change that. It's like being arrested with human heads in the fridge but being released because the cops lost some paperwork. Let him dwell among the cretinous "justice for Bill!" community on YouTube and social media. Actually that isn't exactly a good comparison. What they did isn't a technicality, it's the type of thing that should get a judge disbarred. You can't not prosecute someone criminally, go forward with a civil case which makes him wave his 5th amendment rights because there's no criminal prosecution and the use that testimony against him, that opens up all sorts of cans of worms. Without that civil testimony there's nothing, which is how the original deal even happened. Cosby incriminates himself in his civil trial but in that he's only paying money and has been told it's all sealed and can't be used against him, this is really cut and dry to be honest. This kinda stuff would get lots of people who actually are innocent tossed in jail if it was allowed to stand. The Judge and new DA apparently don't understand simple law.

Yea, as shitty as it is, you have to be "fair" They f***ed themselves over on an easy target who admitted to doing all of this and still acts like he did nothing wrong. He's on OJ time right now tho. He does anything stupid, even littering and they throwing the book at him

He does anything stupid, even littering and they throwing the book at him He only admitted the things he did because he knew he had immunity. Without that he pleads the 5th and those cases go nowhere. They used his testimony to basically paint him as a predator. He never said he raped anyone but saying he did drugs with them before sex looks awful. In the 70s and 80s tons of people dropped ludes before banging, it was common. Doesn't change how it looks now though or that he could have easily taken advantage. But what it all comes down to is they essentially violated his 5th amendment rights which is a huge no-no. Especially for a judge to just let it go, they all got caught up in MeToo and forgot the law has rules.

Especially for a judge to just let it go, they all got caught up in MeToo and forgot the law has rules. I’m of mixed mind. What they did was wrong. I won’t argue otherwise. It was a violation of the Constitution and that document protects both me and really shitty people. It can protect both or it can protect neither, so I say let it protect both. Having said that, was there no way to prosecute him without using his testimony?

f*** this. Who will get out next, the Manson women? Probably, because some types will see it as JUSTICE FOR WOMEN~! (I HOPE I am kidding...but in today's American society...) Killer Khan just got out of a hit-and-run case over in Japan.

Nope. His legacy is ashes. You don't come back from something like this.

I know it's not enough, but that they're not likely to ever get work again or positive attention... Only uber-tabloid types wanted anything to do with OJ. Jussie Smollett is pretty well shunned too. Extreme case, but I don't see Casey Anthony being loved and enjoying life.

Urban legend and he even joked that he couldn't be Paul from the Wonder Years and chasing Winnie Cooper (confusing characters) if he had his ribs removed.

Well if it's any consolation, no one in their right mind will want anything to do with him from this point on. And he is pretty much a joke now. What about people who are not in their right mind but do have money, power and influence? Leave Vince McMahon out of this.

What also sucks is now victims that had no chance of getting any justice except monetarily may not even get that.
No one in their right mind will ever agree to a deal to testify honestly in any civil case in exchange for not going after criminal charges.
Lawyers will tell clients not to say a damm word.

Howard University has definitely taken a dim view on Phyllisa Rashad’s tweet in support of Cosby:
She did tweet how she supports abuse victims, but hasn’t changed her tweet saying Cosby was wronged.
Someone needs to send her more make up so she has enough to cover both faces.

I remember a girl, younger than me at work telling me another crazy Manson rumours. I said, go home and ask your parents, those rumours have been about Ozzy and Alice Cooper and Frank Zappa. Names, she never heard of, but her parents would know.
