JediTalentAgent posted:Does pulling the Cosby Show off reruns hurt Cosby or his costars more when it comes to royalties and residuals? the simple solution is to make all royalties of the show go to victims. Probably some of the cast were victims.

if i was taking some pills and wine with my buddies having a good time then next thing I know I'm waking up with a sore butthole I'm p sure that's rape what's amazing to me is being bill cosby surely he didn't need to rely on drugs so this is either some weird fetish where he likes banging unconscious people or he's just so socially inept and awkward that he can't hook up with a woman despite his fame/money

He enjoyed holding the power of life and death over these women, because even if he never entertained the thought of killing one, drugging someone into oblivion and violating them is about exerting absolute power over their agency as an individual, which morally speaking is a hair's-breadth from the actual physical deletion of their mind. I wonder if any hookers ever found out how far he really would go.

In fact, this should probably be his defense since it wasn't possible for him to get with women any other way.

We could ask Darren Sharper, a successful professional athlete and a young attractive man, who did the exact same thing Cosby did and is now doing nine years for it. (Which is a travesty, even if it was the best the prosecutor could manage to do.)

Do it ironically posted:there's a lot of dumb loving things about the USA and having a limitation for being charged with crimes is one of them It's a fairly reasonable concept actually. The problem is basically one of evidence - both in terms of physical evidence, but also availability of witnesses and the accuracy of their recollections. The British approach with serious crimes is basically to leave it to CPS to make a pre-charge determination as to whether there is enough evidence that the offence could be proved beyond reasonable doubt and then let the court decide if they were right. If you uncover a 20 year old VHS tape of the accused committing the crime, why not use it? Of course, if CPS makes the wrong decision - and they do because they're under-resourced and also because they gently caress up regularly - there is little real sanction other than yet more bad press and a telling off from the judge. Neither of which helps the accused very much. The British approach is also slightly bizarre because you do have a limitations period for offences to be tried in the magistrates court, even though the offences will be minor and sentencing powers much more limited. The American tendency is for the legislature to say that a conviction after a certain lapse of time is inherently unsafe. The focus is on the protection of individual liberty against a deprivation by the state, where the ability of the accused to meaningfully defend him or her self is likely to be seriously impaired and where even evidence advanced in good faith seems unlikely to be reliable. Either one is logically defensible - it's a question of where you want to set the boundaries as to what the state can do. The dumb loving American thing here isn't the idea of broad limitations periods, it's that it's still better to be black in Birmingham than black in Birmingham, AL.

That's a very helpful post to me. I think I would actually prefer the British style in this regard -- although as I understand it, the pre-charge screening would be very similar to our grand juries, except for the crucial fact that our GJs are made of citizens and therefore are dumb and manipulable to a far greater degree even than CPS.

Don't forget that Hannibal Burress essentially kicked this whole thing back into the spotlight when he called out Cosby for the hypocrite he is. It seems to have been an unspoken common knowledge fact in the entertainment industry. 30 Rock even alluded to it when Tracy Morgan yells at Cosby over the phone for some unspecified thing he did to Tracy's aunt decades earlier.

People earlier in the thread remarked that Cosby "isn't powerful," so no one should have feared to speak up. The thing is, his show business reputation meant that he had allies who would blindly protect him, in addition to the court of public opinion being a very ugly place. Because Cosby did a wholesome, inoffensive, white people-friendly act, he had protected status, because people don't realize that your stage gimmick isn't you. He still has black male entertainers rushing to his defense.
