News Article: Jurors in Bill Cosby's trial say they are deadlocked (later convicted)...

Bamaro · Jun 15, 2017

(CNN)Jurors in the Bill Cosby trial said Thursday they are deadlocked and cannot come to a unanimous consensus on any of the three counts of aggravated indecent assault the comedian faces.
Judge Steven O'Neill asked the jury, which began deliberating Monday evening, to go back to deliberating in another attempt to reach consensus.
"If you are still deadlocked, you should report that to me. If you've reached a unanimous decision on some of the charges, please report that back to me," O'Neill said.

Looks like the judge may try to torture the jury into unanimity.

Or he could slip them Quaaludes until they did whatever he wanted.

Either way I hope that the jurors stand by their convictions on how they feel after the trial. A lot of bullying can go on in these situations to get people to change their minds and often they regret it later.

The judge officially declared a mistrial today.

NORRISTOWN, PA. —
A judge sentenced comedian Bill Cosby to three to 10 years in state prison Tuesday, five months after a jury found him guilty of drugging and molesting a onetime friend in 2004.

Judge Steven O’Neil handed down the sentence after ruling earlier in the day that Cosby, 81, is a “sexually violent predator.” The designation means he will have to undergo lifetime counseling and report regularly to authorities.

I was told when I was growing up that I needed to be more like Cosby and less like that foul mouthed Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy.

Parents. What do they know?

Cosby in prison but Trump as President totally throws my 80s kid equilibrium......

I tell my kids to be more George Carlin so it balances out

Trump will probably pardon him after the mid terms.

Interesting idea.

That depends.....what would a pardon of Cosby do for Trump?

prove to Trump that he isn't racist because he pardoned a black guy?

be used as proof that Trump isn't racist because he pardoned a black guy by his army of morons?

distract against something else going on?

Crimson1967 · Sep 26, 2018

I know you aren't being serious about a pardon, but I don't think Trump could pardon him since this wasn't a federal crime.

I might agree save the backlash would be rather strong from #metoo and it would also reinforce the old "different rules for the wealthy" reality.

Of course, I can answer my own question.......because Trump's mind is still stuck in the 80s and Cosby is "an American icon" and "America's Dad" and so on and so on

and he has proven he doesn't care about evidence or proof. The central park 5 have been fully and beyond any reasonable doubt been completely exonerated and Trump still holds that they should have been executed.

You get no argument from me on that one.
