You would think $25,000 would be realistic. The judge is in on this bullshit no doubt.

I don't know, it doesn't seem all that crazy to me. I looked up how bail is determined and based on the general information I found at this link it looks like the 1 million is within the realm of reason considering that Bill Cosby is quite wealthy (and that's a factor considered) and you can post bail at 10% of the bail amount (100k).

Perhaps some of the forum lawyers can chime in.

RE: Bill Cosby Makes A Meme Request, And it Backfires Dramatically
From what I can see this criminal case is a disgrace.

Cosby's criminal attorneys--and he has the ability to get the best--should be able to destroy it, just as Kobe Bryant's lawyers destroyed that "rape" charge way back when.

It just goes to show that the legal system is not immune to the pro-female agenda that has been adopted by every other sector of society.

When you combine a grandstanding, glory-hounding prosecutor, with a gaggle of whiny female "rape" accusers, the pressure just becomes to great. Something's going to happen.

It may be within the rules, but what danger does the public need to be protected from?

Does Cosby have a time machine hidden away that will let him jump back to the 70s? Is there a fear that yet more innocent aspiring actresses will keep repeatedly coming back for more 'sexual assault'?

I am amazed no real reporting has been carried out, apart from the fact this case hasn't been thrown out.

Why is nobody in the MSM investigating facts that these women are charlatan's who were goggle eyed over the typical fame game, spread their legs and were fucked off afterwards? Multiple times they were with him. Even if someone were to drug you would you then go back to them multiple times?

I hope he sues everyone and gets even richer. But the damage is done anyway because the trial by public is already done.

Because the media is working lockstep with the entertainment industry to crucify Cosby. The MSM isn't interested in reporting and gathering facts; they are agenda driven and have been for some time. When Cosby came out with his 'Pound Cake' speech admonishing the black community for single parent households, crime, ignorance, etc., they knew that Black America would listen because of his track record of support for HBCUs and promotion of positive images of African Americans in the media. If Herman Cain or Condoleeza Rice gave those speeches, nobody would care. The entertainment industry wants to keep doing what it does best; keep blacks ignorant.

Short of judicial system overhaul, I do not see anything happening other than more of the same.

Cosby, regardless of his possibly bad game, has made some powerful enemies upset that are merely taking advantages of the laws, if used by honorable people that are seeking help, still need.

Everybody is coming out of the woodwork once again as if he's been convicted already. I just want to make my FB status in all caps "CHARGED NOT CONVCITED CHARGED NOT CONVICTED CHARGED NOT CONVICTED".

The fucking kicker is that child molester, and all 'round all round, Lena Dunham is lashing out against Cosby.

RE: Bill Cosby Makes A Meme Request, And it Backfires Dramatically
I think the Cosby saga has caused a lot of men, and a lot of black men in particular, to go back and re-think their entire world-view of women.

For example: 13 reasons why women lie about rape: http://www.avoiceformen.com/mens-rights/...ey-did-it/

I've spend my life loving and supporting the women in my life, who are awesome women. But now I'm terrified to see the reality, that so many women can turn so evil so quickly if they no longer have a man or a family to keep them in line.

For every crazy man who kills people with a gun, there are a dozen equally crazy women destroying lives through the legal system.

The problem is he's already funding 7 libel / slander plaintiff lawsuits, while defending against 30+ others. Each on their own is an incredibly expensive undertaking Then add what will be an even more expensive criminal defense.

Add those to the fact that his income streams have been largely choked off as well (no network is airing any of his syndicated TV shows anymore: so no more residuals) and his $ burn-rate is on "turbo". I think his biggest problem will be running out of money

I wonder how many of the charities that he's contributed $ millions over decades to will come to his aid now?

Those morons in the comments cant even come to the basic realization that dozens of women are trying to fleece an old man for cash while ignoring the reality that real rape involves cops, rape kits and police reports. Well, where is it? Oops, all women are angels and must be believed decades later. Got it. Moron sheeple bandwagon jumpers.

RAOTFLMAO:

Appears the hunted mammoth is a sucker for more than just a well turned alliterative phrase...

Over on the Roosh V Forum, the assembled Red Pill Alpha Dudes are sharing their thoughtful opinions on Bill Cosby’s arrest yesterday. And by thoughtful, I mean “nauseating.”

For some reason, an enormous number of their comments reference Brazil and its “feminine young female locals.”

The sound of retching you may hear in the background is just me.

Deepdiver asks the question that is on everyone’s mind, and by “everyone” I mean “just him.” Why, instead of “using pills for thrills” on American “beezie beatches,” didn’t the famous Cosby just go to Brazil where he could have found “some feminine young female locals looking for some fame game after glow.”

Was Bill a CAD with no game using pills for thrills – yes – but all these beezie beatches waiting 10, 15, 20 or almost 30 years to get even after the statute of limitations ran out and they are now hard old shriveled up post wall hitters and broke assed beezies looking to score a National Enquirer interview fee… makes me think that Bill was unlucky enough to make it onto these Beezies top 10 Phock lists when they were young and hot but now old and dried up are desperately trying to crassly cash in. I did not intend to defend Bill as I basically consider him dumb for allowing himself to be so badly scandalized in his golden years… time for Bill to move to Brazil and find some feminine young female locals looking for some fame game after glow.

“Beezie” by the way, is slang for “bitch,” as is “beatches.” So “beezie beatches” literally means “bitch bitches.”

LOL Actually it means bitchy bitches - but why pick nits especially this mangina's.

This whole case against him is a setup, he tried to buy a controlling stake in a major media outlet - now the media is destroying him and his legacy because they don't want a black man owning a controlling stake in a major media outlet.

RE: Bill Cosby Makes A Meme Request, And it Backfires Dramatically
Remember the real lessons of the Bill Cosby allegations: feminists have twisted and distorted the definition of "rape" to include all normal, heterosexual male activities

Kissing is rape.
Dancing is rape.
Holding hands is rape.
Asking a girl on a date is rape.
Having consensual sex when you are both drunk or stoned is rape* (*only the man is a rapist, even if he is more drunk than her).

If you do any of the above activities, you should be tried an convicted of felony rape. You will never be able to vote, get a passport, get a job, raise a family, or contribute to society ever again. You will be a non-person.

The next step for Feminists: death penalty for men who jaywalk or whistle in public.

RE: Bill Cosby Makes A Meme Request, And it Backfires Dramatically
Commonwealth v. Cosby, like most criminal cases, is going to raise a lot of interesting evidentiary issues. From what I gather, there are some key sources of evidence that are going to make or break the case for either side. These issues are typically briefed and argued by attorneys in preliminary motions and decided by the presiding judge before the trial begins.

1. Cosby's Phone Conversation with Constand's Mother

The evidence. Constand alleges that almost a year after the alleged sexual assault occurred, she told her mother who then called Cosby on the phone. The mother asserts that in the phone conversation, Cosby admitted that he gave Constand medication and then sexually assaulted her. She also alleges that Cosby expressed remorse for the conduct and offered to pay Constand's therapy and educations costs.

The law. Under the traditional definition of hearsay (an out-of-court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted), the mother testifying as to what Cosby said on the phone would be inadmissible hearsay. She would be saying that Cosby said that he assaulted Constand in order to prove the sexual assault. But the statement falls under an exception to the hearsay rule. See Pa.R.E. 803(25)(A). Because Cosby himself made the statement, anything he said is admissible evidence that may be used against him.

The outcome. Although damaging, a good attorney will be able to minimize it in cross-examination by pointing out the potential bias in the testimony. Constand's mother can hardly be considered a neutral witness. She has every incentive to slant her testimony in favor of her daughter and against Cosby. Any good mother would believe everything her daughter told her and would engage in almost any conduct to support it, including making things up.

2. Cosby's Depositions in Civil Litigation

The evidence. This was the story that broke last year about Cosby using fame and Quaaludes to seduce women. More importantly, the statements occurred in a deposition in preparation for Constand's civil suit against Cosby, a suit that was ultimately settled in 2006. The prosecution claims that statements in the deposition contradict others he made to the police in the course of the investigation.

The law. Although the statements by Cosby are inadmissible hearsay in the traditional sense, they are admissible under Pa.R.E. 803(25)(A) because Cosby made them. They would also be admissible under Pa.R.E. 804(b)(1) because Cosby made the statements in the deposition of a prior legal proceeding in which he was a party and in which he had an opportunity and motive to develop (he didn't want to lose the lawsuit and be on the hook for monetary damages).

The outcome. The depositions will come in against Cosby. But I don't believe it's as strong as the media hypes it to be. If you look at the statements in context, they do suggest that Cosby was a cavalier playboy, but not much else. He didn't field his depositions cleanly, but they stop far short of suggesting that he committed a sexual assault against Constand. At best, the prosecution will probably be able to use them to cause some damage to Cosby's credibility and provide highly circumstantial evidence of the assault.

3. Public Rape Accusations Against Cosby

The evidence. Although the numbers changes every week, dozens of women have publicly accused Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them. The prosecutor would love to put each and every one of them on the stand and ask for their stories or opinion concerning him. It would be the perfect strategy. With each additional story, Cosby would look more and more like a sexual predator who belongs behind bars.

The law. When it comes to character and conduct, the law of evidence is very nuanced and fact-specific. In Pennsylvania, "[e]vidence of a person’s character or character trait is not admissible to prove that on a particular occasion the person acted in accordance with the character or trait." Pa.R.E. 404(a)(1). This means the prosecutor can't use evidence or opinions by Cosby's public rape accusers to suggest that he is a sexual predator who must have committed a sexual assault against Constand because that's what a predator would do. Similarly, "[e]vidence of a crime, wrong, or other act is not admissible to prove a person’s character in order to show that on a particular occasion the person acted in accordance with the character." Pa.R.E. 404(b)(1). But there's also an exception; "[t]his evidence may be admissible for another purpose, such as proving motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, or lack of accident. In a criminal case this evidence is admissible only if the probative value of the evidence outweighs its potential for unfair prejudice." Pa.R.E. 404(b)(2). Complicated to say the least, but Cosby's accusers could potentially testify to specific acts perpetrated by him if the judge ruled that Cosby's conduct with the accusers has a unique identity or "fingerprint" that tends to identify him as the person who committed a sexual assault against Constand (e.g., drugging a woman and then sexually assaulting her). The theory behind this rule would fly over the jury's head and the jurors would simply see Cosby as a bad man who has done the same thing to other women, leading them to conclude that he must have done the same thing to Constand.

The outcome. If I was on the bench, I wouldn't allow any of Cosby's other public rape accusers to testify because the basis for allowing the testimony in would not be the best application of the existing law (it's a tortured reading and highly prejudicial). But all bets are off. I wouldn't be surprised to see the judge go against Cosby on this one to substantially increase the chances of a conviction.
