How could I state that they ARE copycats when I don't know a thing about any of them?? Please read the next part carefully:
What I said was, in response to someone who claimed 'there is no doubt' about any of this, that of course there is doubt.
Please read this carefully, I stated that eg, some of these women COULD BE copycats. Is that not a possibility at all in your mind?
See, if this was brought to court, we would learn whether they were or not, because attorneys on both sides would be working to establish the FACTS.
See how you, just now, totally misinterpreted what my point was? Now think of how YOUR interpretation might be even more enhanced by the next person who reads it?
This is why 'due process' is so necessary when someone is being accused of serious crimes.
I KNOW due process, once so revered at least on the Left, is not so popular here these days, but I am old fashioned, I guess.
I know nothing about this case. I do not know Cosby, do not know any of the women, do not know if any of them ever met each other, don't know if some of them are merely copy cats, or if all of them are telling the truth.
Until it gets off the Enquirer and Nancy Grace and into a court of law, the accused is innocent. So, work to get it into a court, why are people so against that?
I hope no one here who doesn't see the need for due process before conviction is never at the receiving end of allegations against them.
As I said, I'm not into tabloids, I like our system of due process. If that has become a crime on DU, well so be it.
