And Cosby gets away.
Danny Masterson and his wife Bijou Phillips arrive for closing arguments in his second trial on May 16. (Chris Pizzello/The Associated Press)
May 16th.....
Reminds me of an old Herman cartoon. Guy in jail talking to his lawyer. "so if I'm innocent until proven guilty, why can't I fuck off to Australia until we find out how this all turns out?"
If I were him I would have definitely fucked off. Google countries with non extradition treaties with the US. Used to be Ireland was in that category. 30 fucking years! Oh shit.

good video - former convict explains how Masterson will be extorted and what's his life will be like.
Apparently even protective custody would not protect.

no shit LOL by the way he chose not to testify...who the fuck does that in a jury trial when they are innocent??? him and all his Scientology crazies can all fuck straight off to hell
The list goes on and yet many here will tell you the #metoo movement was just a witch hunt on rich men by money hungry women with an agenda.
Yes. Surprised to see 30 years!

'Meanwhile' and 'What about ...' is irrelevant to his penalty. You can't normalize crime by looking at those who escaped justice.
I would have a bone to pick if it would have been 20 years but the prosecution wanted to 'send a message'. so they added 10 years.
Let's see what happens to Peter Nygard.

I don't know all the details of this case, but the impression I get is that the jury voted to convict mainly because they believed the testimony of the alleged victims. I don't know how much physical evidence there was.
While I am not suggesting that Masterson was falsely accused, the idea that a jury of twelve randomly chosen tax payers who don't necessarily know anything about the law might render a guilty verdict based on an empathetic emotional response should be disturbing to all of us. Emotion has no place in the criminal justice system;all decisions should be made based on proven facts and evidence. It's not as if everything that some people believe is true. Beliefs are not evidence. It's a dangerous sign for the future when this sort of thing can happen, and people are generally okay with it.
Usually we see that sort of thing in fascist dictatorships, where the guy in charge wants a political rival to be neutralized, or with Black men in the deep South.

Agreed. However, do we know exactly what evidence was given? Was there any physical evidence? Something like having an injury afterward and seeing a doctor could corroborate the story.
Well at least they went light on him. Could have thrown the book at him. He should count himself lucky. Could have been 1200 years.Yes. Surprised to see 30 years!

Yea. I just deleted a post kind of defending him on that basis. I suppose if you are raped, you have an opinion that justice should be meted out. Gets kind of personal at that point. I have to give myself a pat on the back for not having raped anyone but if I had, I guess I should be accepting that karma will catch up with me. As the guy on TikTok pointed out.
