Bill Cosby sentenced to 3 to 10 years in state prison

Well, knock me over with a feather!  I thought these Hollywood so called 'elites' were above the law?  At least, they thought they were.

Happy to see some real justice being administered to the higher-ups.  
I bet this has the rest of the perverts shaking in their boots.  

Bill Cosby sentenced to 3 to 10 years in state prison for sexual assault, deemed a 'sexually violent predator'

Bill Cosby was sentenced on Tuesday to three to 10 years in state prison for the sexual assault of Andrea Constand.

Judge Steven T. O’Neill rendered the decision Tuesday, the second day of the sentencing hearing at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pa., saying, “I’m not permitted to treat him any differently based on who he is or who he was.” O’Neill also ruled that Cosby is a “sexually violent predator” and fined him $25,000.

The sentence means that Cosby, once known as “America’s Dad,” will spend at least three years behind bars and then will become eligible for supervised release, although that’s not guaranteed. According to journalist Bobby Allyn, who was in the courtroom, the judge will not grant bail, and the comedian is expected to be taken away to a cell shortly.

Cosby, 81, was convicted in April on three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault. While they had the potential to carry a 30-year sentence — 10 years per count — O’Neill said Monday, and the district attorney and defense attorney agreed, that the counts would be merged into just one. State guidelines recommend between one and four years for a single count. (The D.A. requested the maximum sentence while Cosby’s legal team argued for leniency, given his age and frailty, including his blindness.)
The disgraced Cosby Show star arrived at court on Tuesday morning with a smile on his face as he walked in alongside his legal team and handlers. His wife since 1964, Camille Cosby, opted not to attend again. He chose not to make a statement when the judge asked if he had anything to say.

According to Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Laura McCrystal, more than a half dozen Cosby accusers — of which there are approximately 60 — were in the courtroom along with Constand, a former Temple University employee, for the sentencing.
Day two also saw a psychologist, who was an expert witness for the defense, testify as to whether Cosby should be labeled a “sexually violent predator.” (Prosecutors had called their witness on Monday.) Timothy Foley told the court that the risk of sex offenders reoffending after age 70 is “virtually negligible.” Cosby’s lawyer suggested that he hasn’t “acted out” in more than five years. Judge O’Neill’s ruling of the classification means that Cosby must undergo counseling for the rest of his life and report quarterly to authorities. His name will appear on a sex-offender registry sent to neighbors, schools, and victims, according to the AP.

Constand’s victim impact letter was shared with the court. She said that the “psychological, emotional, and financial bullying included a slander campaign in the media that left my entire family reeling in shock and disbelief.”

I swear Bill Cosby is in prison every other year he is released. LMAO, apparently he wants to stay there so let him.

But he is far from what people would consider elite.  This guy has spent at least half his life now behind bars. 

If you ask me, he purposely wanted to get away from the elite(probably death threats) and has willingly trashed his entire life.  Because it's been a repeated occurance.

So I am guessing, what he knows is far scarier then anything he faces in a prison cell.

But if you actually look at his history, this guy has had more lawsuits, court hearings for pedophilia then MJ. But chances are he will be just like MJ and be targeted for sexual abuse til the day he dies.. guilty or not.

Simply because once a celebrity/rich person has been charged and "found guilty", it's more likely for repeated convictions to occur due to past convictions.  Even if they are innocent the second, third and forth time.

Sadly, it's the problem with our judicial system. Which is why it is so hard to have a real conviction hold on anyone that is rich. Because it is well known, that the rest of their lives they will forever be a target for those looking for fame or money - guilty or otherwise.

This is also the case with regular people, that once the rep is applied to you. You are forever tied to past convictions, even if you were innocent. So most "innocent" that get convicted wind up just giving up, and no longer bothering to fight it.

His guilt or innocence at this point would literally depends on how he responds to these allocations and how he presents himself. He knows that any accusations are likely to lead to another guilty verdict. I just hope people at his hearing take his demeanor into account since he was convicted once already. Because that alone will tell you if he is guilty or innocent now. It just depends on if they are paying attention or have other motives.

But realistically his life and freedom was over the minute he was convicted. Doesn't matter what he is accused of now being in the public eye.
