Bill Cosby, who asks for leniency on grounds of blindness, paused to point and smile at someone in the crowd before heading inside. Mm hm. Amazing how he can pick out a specific person while blind.

(12,501 posts)NOT saying this to defend Cosby, simply out of curiosity if we know he has been medical diagnosis of blindness.
While things like back issues and such can be faked, as far as I know, not a medical professional, sight is very much a knowable thing, not something you can fake. Either the conditions for sight exist or they dont, I dont think there is any in between.
