MISTRIAL Bill Cosby -- Charged W/Aggravated Sexual Assault/Other Rape Allegations #5

[MsJosie]

I certainly hope not. I have seen defendants in their late 70s or 80s with one in a wheelchair, and they did not get special treatment because of their age or health issues.

If he is convicted he needs to get the same sentence any other person would receive for the same conviction

I agree, but this is famous BC. He got away with a lot....why not this. I hope I am wrong

Remember the lenient sentence that Martha Stewart got? Short sentence in a dorm room type setting? I know it was for a totally different crime, but that is what I see BC getting....guilty, no prison time, but a sentence like MS. Of course I can see BC spending it in the 'clinic' because he has arthritis, has a hard time walking, is blind and needs help....hence a short sentence

MS was sentenced to a Federal Prison. BC will not be going to a Federal Prison for SA and rape charges as sad as that may seem to some of his fans.

BC will be 80yo in July. If BC is arthritic, has difficulty walking, and is legally blind [degenerative eye condition] then that is incongruent with what oceanblueeyes stated about BC wanting this trial to end so he can go back to doing comedic routines.

I don't want to be fooled by alleged medical conditions. I want to view actual medical records before I determine the health issues he suffers, if any, other than a cloudy right eye and being a somnophiliac.

Sounds like the jury is doing their due diligence. They want to read Cosby's deposition testimony.

Bill Cosby Jury Examines His Deposition During Sexual Assault Deliberations

by Hannah Rappleye and Tracy Connor

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Prosecutors asked jurors in the Bill Cosby case to "look closely" at the comedian's own words, and it appears that they are doing just that.

The panel of seven men and five women, who resumed deliberations on Tuesday, have twice asked to review excerpts from the 2005 deposition that Cosby gave in the lawsuit filed by his chief accuser, Andrea Constand...

I agree about the medical conditions.....I believe he has an eye issue but he sees better then he lets on.

Haven't been following closely. Did AC's team have medical experts do a medical examine on BC for a second opinion of his true medical problems?

I wouldn't believe a word about his medical conditions! Remember, he is an excellent actor. We can all walk with a cane and act very crippled, talk with a weak, hoarse voice, or do numerous other acts to give a false impression of how we want people to perceive our health.

A case that comes to mind is DeeDee and Gypsy Blanchard - the mother who pretended her daughter was severely ill, wheelchair bound for years. We have. A forum on WS.

Just my opinion, too many women have come forward with accusations on Bill Crosby. May this jury hear and believe AC and find BC guilty with a maximum penalty!

 

[MsJosie]

Will we get a verdict today?

They reread the part where Bill calls the pills "his little friends" . Seems like that was an admission he'd a long standing relationship with the drugs. So disturbing. I read it appears there is a holdout.

Wait, what? "Without her knowledge?" If she doesn't play along, she is likely to lose her job. She doesn't know what that pill is, BC does.

A variant spelling of Blame-the-Victim, IMHO.

If they acquit, IMO, his career is still ruined....too many ladies have come forth.

Nice to see you, Donjeta. I've missed your posts

I was thinking the same thing. This thread wouldn't be the same without Donjeta and others.

Cosby Jury Fails to Reach Verdict on Second Day of Deliberations

by Hannah Rappleye and Tracy Connor

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — The jury in the Bill Cosby case failed to reach a verdict on its second day of deliberations after spending 12 hours behind closed doors.

“You are conscientiously engaging in the deliberative process," Montgomery County Court Judge Steven O'Neill told the tired-looking seven men and five women who must decide if Cosby is guilty of drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004.

"It is exhausting work," he added...

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/bi...n-during-sexual-assault-deliberations-n771406

Much tooo soon to think the jury is deadlocked, so I hope the delay in a verdict is due to their diligence in considering the evidence against Mr. Cosby.

Reading that nbc report http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/bil...ations-n771406

I'm amazed that the jury were deliberating until 9.20 pm before being released. This is far too long surely? Obviously finding it difficult to come to a straightforward result - which shows good work on their part - but how tired and confused they must be after such a long day of discussions.

I'm just curious. Over here in the UK juries are usually released from deliberations late afternoon 4.30 pm - 5.00 pm. Time for them to recharge, have a meal and be refreshed for the next day. So is this what often happens in your country? Is there ever any pressure on juries? How long before the judge says he would consider a majority verdict (10/2) or does that not happen?

Doing my best to follow here, so grateful for any info on your system so I'm clear. TIA.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

^ Juries typically set their own schedule for deliberations, subject to courthouse rules. As long as all parties agree (Prosecution, Defense, Judge, etc.), the jury can deliberate as long as they want. The jury probably takes a morning break, lunch, afternoon break, dinner, so they are not really in the jury room in serious discussion all that time.

There's no set schedule, meals are sometimes delivered to the jury room.
A jury "foreman" is chosen at the beginning to be the leader and usually jury pools are run democratically, everyone probably agreed to stay until 9:20 in this case.
Sometimes, if the deliberations are long, they will sequester a jury in hotel rooms, forbidden from newspapers or tv news so they don't see media regarding the case, but usually they get to go home at night with a promise to not view any news.
