“Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’ The injustice in the Bill Cosby case took place inside the justice system. More than 50 women have accused Cosby of sexual assault and misconduct, yet none of their claims resulted in a conviction. 50 woman from across the United States. There's a threat to justice everywhere.” -MD

“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court gave Bill Cosby a ‘get out of jail free’ card today. The original prosecutor had promised Cosby he wouldn't be charged criminally if he'd agree to testify in a civil trial. Cosby took him up on the offer and incriminated himself when he was compelled to testify. (Apparently you can't cop the Fifth in a civil trial.) Then a new prosecutor took over, ignored the agreement and used Cosby's testimony against him in a criminal trial. And off to the slammer he went. Now that the state Supreme Court has set things straight America's Dad is a free man who has admitted to a crime.” -CB
