Bill Cosby’s verdict
Many people fall into scandals and controversies for some other reason but Bill Cosby‘s controversy lasted for a very long period of time. He’s seen huge success in his career, along with success, he also experienced the fall of his career due to his scandal.
This time the Pennsylvanian judge has given his verdict and it is against the stand-up comedian as the decision is he will be sentenced to prison for 3-10 years.
The 86-year-old actor is also named a sexually violent predator. More than 60 women have accused him of sexually assaulting them. he tried to medicate them and tried sexually abusing them.
In June 2017, there was news that his case has been ended and the reason was mistrial by the judges. However, Bill’s lawyer commented on the mistrial,
“Do not feel like you’ve let the justice system down. It’s not a failure or a victory.”
Cosby was requested for bail and was fined $25,000 (£19,000) excluding prosecution costs. Judge Steven O’Neill said,
“This was a serious crime. Mr Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The day has come, the time has come.”
Todd Boyd, professor of cinema and media studies at the USC School of Cinematic Arts in Los Angeles said,
“I think it’s really a tragedy that an 81-year-old man who is legally blind and walking on a cane and who has had such an incredible career will, in essence, end his life a prisoner. That’s a real sad commentary on his life and his legacy. But you know, as I say, you reap what you sow.”
