Marcus Barnett, Watkins' attorney, did talk to Cosby.
"He's mortified. He's distraught. He doesn't understand how this happened," said Barnett.
Barnett admitted his client knew Somer Thompson. They were neighbors. Barnett said Somer was friends with Watkins' grandkids and played at his house.
Barnett said Watkins was trying to help investigators find Somer.
"He asked how he could help and they said well she may be involved in some childissues, so he went online looking for her. And he would look at images, from what I understand according to the indictment, no its not Somer- click delete, click delete," said Barnett. "He was legitimately trying to help and its in the 'no good deed goes unpunished school.'"
The articles so far are confusing with the time line. I am not sure whether to think there is something wrong here with this man or he did something incredibly stupid while trying to help. If it was September that they found a download then his story makes zero sense of course. Maybe his computer was searched right away because DT was asked about any men in the neighborhood that Somer was familiar with, and he popped out in her mind.
IMO Watkins' lawyer's explanation is total crap!
