As I recall, when the chairman of Enron (Kenneth Lay) was convicted of 10 criminal charges and with a possibility of plantiffs seizing millions in assets, .... the guy died of heart disease prior to his appeals being heard.

A long-held doctrine called abatement, which allows a conviction to be vacated if defendants die before they are able to exercise their right to appeal. Courts typically rule that defendants' constitutional rights to challenge their convictions outweigh other considerations, and the law hesitates to punish the dead. A civil case against Lay's estate was made more difficult because they can no longer introduce the fact of his conviction and instead must prove again.

Cosby may die before too long.

He can't die soon enough as far as I am concerned. I just hope he's in jail when he breathes his last stinking breath.

WHO ELSE IS ON THE CLINTONS' DEATH LIST?

Geez- Looks like Bill Clinton has more notches than Billy the Kid! And you actually believe all this shit!! Looking at Paul Tully's profile it definitely looks like the only way HE could have died was at the hand of Billy Clinton. You're a riot! :)

I've alway liked Bill Cosby and especially the early comedian. I can remember listening to his records in the 60s and watching him on I Spy. I also admired his advocacy of young black men taking responsibility for their lot, especially with respect to becoming real husbands, fathers, providers and role models.

I really don't know what to make of these allegations which by sheer consistency and number must be true. Having sex with drugged and comotose females sounds like it'd be as much fun as making out with one of those full sized, plastic, blow up sex dolls. Seems to indicate a deep and insecure psychological pathology.. unresolved by all the success, fame, respect and wealth he accumulated over his professional life.

It is what it is, i guess. I doubt he'll spend a day in prison and will be long gone before the appeals process works its way through the system.. which means he would be exonerated by way of an unfinalized appeals process.

Hi! Coldstream

Yeh! About his records .... As a kid and in a very Catholic home, I remember the huge laughs my family had with Cosby saying "Noah, How Long Can You Tread Water?"

Give us a link to the proof Cliffy. According to you "W" is a murderer, old George is a murderer, Ronnie is a murderer, Jimmy is a murderer, J.F.K. is a murderer, L.B.J. was a murderer. Spread that shit around w/o proof is a good way to wind up in jail!

"HEY!!! ...... RAPIST!!

Get out of that Jello tree!!




Maybe, he'll get a good cell mate like "Fatal Bert".

HEY! HEY! HEY!

I hope they make him earn his keep in jail. Maybe he can entertain the other prisoners like he did outside of jail. I wouldn't want that talent to go to waste.
