Andrea agreed to the settlement years ago.

SCI Phoenix state prison is where Cosby will begin serving sentence - CNN

Above link is from CNN......other sites reporting same thing

BC will go to new facility SCI Phoenix, PA. New prison and maximum security. There is a gym, classes, chapel plus other activities to include counseling and other mandatory classes.

The judge was bias for not granting bail during the appeal process.

Bill Cosby led away in handcuffs 14 years after assaulting Andrea Constand - CNN

Cosby was booked into Montgomery County Correctional Facility and transferred to Pennsylvania's State Correctional Institute at Phoenix on Tuesday evening.

Before the sentencing, Constand wrote a five-page letter to the court explaining how Cosby's assault -- and the ensuing legal battle -- had changed her life. As a Temple University employee, she looked up to Cosby, a Temple trustee, as a mentor and friend. He used that position of power and trust, as well as his public persona as television father figure Dr. Huxtable, to take advantage of her, she testified at trial.

The judge was bias for not granting bail during the appeal process.

I didn't keep up with the details of this although it appears the judge failed for allowing the jury to ignore matters of law with regards to the statute of limitations having tolled and expired. The jury isn't to decide matters of law, only decide on facts. The judge is responsible for determining and upholding matters of law and even if the jury rejects that, override them as the 13th juror.

None of my opinions in this thread are condoning of the acts of BC or Weinstein. Both committed horrible acts. However, judges and prosecutors should not be allowed to ignore any pesky laws that they deem to be undermining of their agendas.

Our system of justice and legal redress was never designed to reward those who do not act in a timely manner.

Almost all crimes and tortuous acts are subject to a well established time limits for which causes against may be brought.

Centuries old Maxim of Law speak to this directly:

Vigilantibus et non dormientibus succurrunt - Laws come to the help of the vigilant, not of the sleepy

Lex dilationes abhorret - The law abhors delays

To overlook and ignore this error of law indicates an indifference to our laws driven by mob rule and likely political agendas.

He awoke this morning wanting to tell Camille about his horrible dream........then the guard told him what to do. woohoo

 

[Trino]

Bill Cosby... TV family icon, married in real life to the same woman, charitable causes, comedian, respected...

Can today's Bill Cosby be the same man?

I feel betrayed.

Sexually violent predator Bill Cosby sentenced to 3-10 years. Justice, just a little. Here is part of the statement my brave, beautiful client Janice Dickinson was prepared to read in court this week, had the judge allowed it.

Statue of limitations discussion from April 27, 2018 (just after the conviction).

VERIFY: What was the statue of limitations in the Cosby case?

In Pennsylvania, where that guilty verdict came down, that incident was from 2004 and the case was reopened in 2015, happening within the state's 12-year time frame for prosecuting criminal cases.

Justice finally for the serial rapist!!!!

 

[DisturbedConcerned]

I would have to see the statute upon which he was charged and convicted. Sexual Assault is not the same as rape and in some jurisdictions, making a provocative comment, say about anatomy, can constitute sexual assault if the person claims they were in fear. I believe this to be correct and surely we all agree that is a long way from the violent act of rape.

I do understand how people feel about this. I got to the point I stopped going out in public because of things like this happening non-stop.

I have feelings too.

That is the law in Pennsylvania. Any appeals are done from prison.

I find this very affecting regarding Cosby's victims (and, by extension,many others in the public eye)

Well in Philadelphia the rapper Meek Mills is out on bail during his appeal process.

So I don't think that the entire state has to abide by the law. Jmo

Statement read for Cosby's wife, Camille. See full text here: Read Camille Cosby's statement on husband Bill Cosby's conviction

I suppose she is fine with Cosby's own admission in the police interview where he owns up to giving the woman drugs to "calm them" after giving them alcohol and I guess she is so naive that she doesnt want to believe that he would have inappropriate sexual acts with those drugged out woman.

Ok then. Please just go away Misses Cosby.

Agree. The entire case was based off the civil suit deposition that Cosby did after being reassured by that D.A that no criminal charges would ever be filled.

So Andrea was content with the entire thing.

But now years later. The new D.A wanted to boost ratings by making sure that any previous deals were null and void and they will prosecute by any means necessary.

So Im just surprised that the reassurance by a state Representative years ago could easily be overriding after you was basically entrapped to disclosing certain things that you would have never disclosed without the original reassurance of the state. Jmo

I am sad today over Bill Cosby's conviction and sentencing.
Not because I believe him to be innocent, but because he has ruined so many good memories and laughter for me and countless others.
As well as, all of his co-stars and writers that will lose their hard earned deserved residual income from his actions.
I really loved his show and his specials about family life.
It is such a loss of innocence for so many.
Do I believe he should go to prison and lose his rich comfortable life?
Absolutely, but I am still sad.
RIP Bill Cosby, your fake persona is now officially dead.

Well said and I agree.

He has hurt more than his victims and himself. He has done damage to innocent people too like you mention.

One thing I give him credit for is showing up for court and his sentencing. I honestly thought he would withdraw a bunch of money and skip town and end up in another country that has no extradite treaty with US.

He may have done that and maybe made the mistake in assuming he would be out on bail while his appeals went through.

Im just surprised that Andreas parents seemed so shocked and emotional while acting like they never benefitted from the civil suit by Andrea decades ago. Jmo

Mom nor dad hasn't screamed for blood for the past decade as if they never knew.

But now. Its time to get paid off media interviews? Ok sure?

Playboy Hugh Heffner allowed plenty of nefarious acts to happen on his property by him and others own doings.

But why was Heffner never prosecuted during his old age before death?
