Dozens of rape victims have come forward and still no |
|
conviction. |

Bill Cosby's Alleged Victims React to His Sex Assault Mistrial: |
|
'It Ain't Over 'Till It's Over' |
|
After a Pennsylvania judge granted a mistrial after a jury |
|
announced they were deadlocked for the second time in the sexual |
|
assault trial of Bill Cosby, one of the actor and comedian�s |
|
multiple accusers is speaking out about what that means. |
|
�It�s not an acquittal,� Tamara Green, a retired California |
|
attorney who first came forward with allegations against Cosby |
|
in 2005, tells PEOPLE of Saturday�s mistrial. |
|
She adds, �I have faith in the jury system of the United |
|
States.� |
|
The comedian is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting |
|
former Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his Elkins |
|
Park, Pennsylvania, mansion in January 2004. The District |
|
Attorney has already announced that they plan to retry Cosby in |
|
the case. |
|
The six-day trial followed a lengthy scandal in which dozens of |
|
women have come forward with stories of how Cosby, 79, allegedly |
|
sexually abused and assaulted them over decades. The Cosby Show |
|
alum has denied every claim. |

The prosecution has something like four months to ask for a |
|
retrial or something like that. |
|
With all those accusers and accusations, it appears it will go |
|
on for some time. |

[/quote]I don't know the reason for it, but the judge in this |
|
case did not allow all the women who could have testified to do |
|
so. If his goal was to save time, his plan backfired, resulting |
|
in a hung jury and possibly another trial thus not saving any |
|
time whatsoever. |
|
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/05/bill-cosby-trial-first-witness-ka… |
|
Johnson is testifying for the prosecution under a Pennsylvania |
|
law that permits someone with a claim of sexual assault that was |
|
never prosecuted to testify against their alleged assailant in |
|
other cases. |
|
Before the trial, prosecutors sought permission to call 13 |
|
accusers whose testimony, taken together, might show that Cosby |
|
had a pattern of using drugs to commit sexual assault. Judge |
|
Steven T O�Neill permitted just one of those women, Kacey, to |
|
testify. |
|
It seems pretty obvious to me the man's guilty; and I think if |
|
all 13 had been allowed to testify, the jurors wouldn't have had |
|
the slightest doubt about it. |

Kerry - |
|
I was watching CBS news this morning (I prefer CBS for their |
|
less breathless, more measured reporting/news-reading). It had a |
|
lady legal expert on and she said that the prosecution had up to |
|
a year to ask for a retrial and that the statute of limitations |
|
goes in effect for all the other accusers for criminal cases. I |
|
understand that he can be tried civilly, however. |
|
Ya, something's up it appears especially with up to 40 accusers. |
