In reply to the discussion: Court overturns Bill Cosby's conviction and bars future prosecution [View all]NYC Liberal
(20,138 posts)18. His wife compared his conviction to a lynching. She never left.
In her first major media interview in six years, Bill Cosby's wife Camille Cosby told ABC News that she is "very, very pleased" that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear part of her husband's appeal -- but insisted that the #MeToo movement needs to "clean up their act" and that she doesn't "care" about the feelings of scores of women who have accused her husband of drugging and sexually abusing them.
Also compared her husband to Emmett Till and the victims of the Tulsa massacre
Cosby also defended previous comparisons she has made between accusations against her husband and the lynching of Emmett Till, the 14-year old Mississippi child brutalized and murdered in 1955 for whistling at a white woman -- a false claim debunked years after the murder by the woman who made the claim in the first place.
She also drew comparisons of her husband's treatment to the massacre of hundreds of African Americans in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921 -- widely considered by scholars to be one of the lowest points of in the nation's history of racial violence.
Cosby contended that the comparison is apt.

An agreement with a previous prosecutor that he wouldn't be charged is the reason.

Nobody. Sounds like a previous prosecutor made a massive, massive mistake.

Of course, once again, a Repuke is at the center of a perversion of justice.
