What’s your opinion on Bill Cosby being released?

LettuceBeGrateful · 2021-07-03T02:54:16+00:00

I understand why Cosby was released, and from a legal point of view, it's good that we're following the rules. It's just frustrating to see someone like that walking free.

suzuki1369 · 2021-07-02T22:46:17+00:00

Guilty or not, releasing him was the right and legal thing to do. You may not agree with it, but his rights were violated, and two wrongs don't make a right.

gurthanix · 2021-07-03T00:17:32+00:00

It's a really messed up case because functionally we have evidence that he is guilty (i.e. the evidence was sufficient for a court to convict), but the evidence is not admissible in court because it was obtained through violation of constitutional rights. Still, it's better to have a system where guilty people sometimes go free rather than a system where you don't have constitutional protections against the power of the state.

My ''opiinon'' is that the law should be followed correctly and if anybody thinks the law wasnt followed correctly then it needs to be taking action, i cant ''know'' the truth like that.

When its legal for criminals to walk free your justice system needs changing.

armaadi · 2021-07-02T23:34:30+00:00

From what I understand, he confessed to doing it in exchange for not bring prosecuted legally. Imo, homeboy is guilty, but if the state made a deal they wouldn't prosecute him, they have to hold up that deal.

The whole justice system just fucked itself up big time. Not only did they fail to properly conduct the standard procedure necessary for a conviction, it lead to the release of a rapist based on their own mistakes.

if they did this same kind of blooper with a younger rapist, he won't be as physically limited as Bill. Not the best of scenarios i must say..

He admitted it himself!

AndyWR10 · 2021-07-03T09:52:46+00:00

Legally it was the right decision. It’s really unfortunate that he was released, especially since he admitted guilt, but the law isn’t made to be ignored by anyone, especially the courts. He should have stayed in prison for a long time but I sadly agree with the decision

Coming soon to againsthatesubs: This thread. Ta-dah 🎉✨

Aiwass_the_voice · 2021-07-03T09:44:12+00:00

I don't even know half of the case. Care to enlighten me? I know it's sexual something something assualt.

derryroadfenian · 2021-07-03T10:28:18+00:00

He is no different to the many women who has sexually assaulted men

Oncefa2 · 2021-07-02T17:46:42+00:00

For the last time he already confessed to sleeping with Constand when she wasn't able to speak or move. He just assumed that if she didn't want it she would've moved or said something. But silence is not consent. And even if she took the drugs from him willingly she had no way of knowing he was using them to incapacitate her so he could have sex with her. He told her that the pills were her friends and that they would help her with her anxiety. He didn't tell her that they would be having sex.

Of course she didn't say "stop" or fight back. She was given a fucking sedative. Even one pill of benadryl is some strong fucking shit.

If it was a famous woman who gave sleeping pills to a man before having sex with him, this sub would be unanimous in saying she was guilty. There would be no one defending her on this or saying her victims probably just wanted some of that money. Or saying her victims waited too long. Or saying she couldn't be a rapist because her alleged victims aren't attractive enough to be raped. Which is the way it should be, and it should be this way for BOTH GENDERS.

babno · 2021-07-02T23:11:20+00:00

He was guilty, but the only way we know that is because they violated his 5th amendment rights to not self incriminate.

asura227 · 2021-07-03T17:30:53+00:00

I'm exceedingly glad that Cosby was released. A man should not be charged for rape nearly 40 years after the fact. "Believe women" is all the evidence we had here. After seeing the vindictive behavior, lying, manipulation, and hamster wheel of justification that women are capable of; Nothing short of verifiable physical evidence should be the standard measure for this type of case.

Furthermore im looking at every one of you who cant get down with Cosby being released and im asking you directly; Do you have the same issue about Brock Allen Turner being released after serving three months of a total 6 month sentence in prison for a rape that he was literally caught in the act of?

Some people's " undercover" racism is getting outed.

mtg-nerd-alert · 2021-07-02T23:43:58+00:00

Specifically what happened was he alleges that he was given a non prosecuting agreement by the DA. To be noted is that no evidence of this agreement was brought up during the hearing. Regardless, the decision of the court said that the conviction was unlawful. Charges may be brought against him again. He did do it. He admited it. That is not disputable. However it was decided the law was not properly applied. Currently his is not guilty, as he hasn’t been properly convicted in court. He did it though, he’s not a good person.

justsomeregret · 2021-07-03T10:59:52+00:00

He was guilty however releasing him was the right thing to do as the laws are there for a reason and if they aren't followed people suffer and this is one of those cases

pacsatonifil · 2021-07-03T16:45:46+00:00

He confessed. I’m all for men’s rights, but fuck him and I feel sorry for his victims and angry at this.

BornAgainSpecial · 2021-07-02T22:27:52+00:00

Women are not stupid. They know what they are doing when they go home with a guy at a club, get into his bed, and take drugs together.

cumnutz1984 · 2021-07-03T18:42:20+00:00

The guy is disgusting. The same goes for anyone defending him.

Our legal system should not allow men like him to go free. It needs to be entirely rewritten.

EMPIREVSREBLES · 2021-07-03T14:36:07+00:00

I don't know much about the case to put much of an opinion but all I know is that they convicted him about 10 years after his most recent allegation back in 2008 (I'm just going off of Wikipedia) and personally I don't think any rape evidence could last 10 years unless there where a bunch of pictures.

aleo7 · 2021-07-03T16:27:53+00:00

The problem is now feminists will use this as propaganda to promote their narrative of a "rape culture", when that's obviously not what's happening.

Swiggy · 2021-07-03T17:10:11+00:00

He is not-guilty, which is not the same a innocent because his trial was thrown out.

ketokrime · 2021-07-05T06:19:24+00:00

Justice has served.

hotcurrypowder · 2021-07-02T21:38:46+00:00

Does this mean a new series of Fat Albert? Hey hey hey!

I see a lot of people saying Cosby's rights were violated. How exactly were has rights violated?
