Juror Leaks In Cosby Case<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One deliberator in the Bill Cosby court case leaked that coming to a verdict was completely \u2018hopeless\u2019 from the beginning, as reported by NBC news. The juror who leaked the information remained anonymous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unidentified juror stated in an audio recording on WPXI-TV that, \u201cMy personal feeling is whatever the man (Cosby) did, he has already paid his price.. paid, suffered.\u201d The Juror went on to leak more information, claiming ten voted for conviction, while just two voted against conviction(NBC News).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosby Giving Sexual Abuse Prevention Speech<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosby took to the offensive when his spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, announced his client\u2019s intentions to travel the country, educating youth about the dangers sexual assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From To Court Trial To The Campaign Trail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMZ recently reported, \u201cThe comedian is planning a series of town halls this summer to educate young people about sexual assault.. More specifically, they say he\u2019s planning on teaching them how to look out for warning signs from potential victims and handle accusations that could follow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plenty Of Prior Experience<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racking up 50 sexual assault allegations over the years, Cosby knows a few things about handling accusations. This leaves many wondering, is this appropriate? Perhaps one day, but Cosby is theoretically still in the legal process. The only comparable event in recent history would be the O.J. Simpson \u2018If I did it\u2019 book release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Cosby Is \u2018Done\u2019, But Is He \u2018Finished\u2019?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, this case continues to parallel the Simpson case in various other ways. Cosby infused a racial element that looms over this case, this tactic has been eerily similar to that of O.J. The prosecution has also fumbled various aspects of the case. Since the inception of the trial, the American Review has been very insistent that Cosby\u2019s full acquittal is imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

29 May 2019 – Cosby Giving Sexual Abuse Prevention Speech

Cosby Following The Playbook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an American Review article released on June 9th, Bill Cosby was said to have a possible route to acquittal. This route centered on a key defense tactic used in many successful, previous sexual assault cases. The two-fold \u2018Shield and Attack\u2019 strategy was proposed to give Cosby cover from the press, whether intentional or inadvertently, and attack the credibility of the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other cases when the defendant was found guilty, it was found to be due to a lack of attack. Possibly learning from the mistakes of Sandusky, and former sexual assault cases resulting in a conviction, Cosby went on the attack. According to the NY Times, he is now doubling down, and launching a campaign-style town hall talk about sexual abuse prevention. The speech is scheduled prior to his next court date. His spokesman was recently quoted saying, \u201cMr. Cosby wants to get back to work.\u201d He intends to seek college students, athletes, and young people who party as his target audience.(Per NY TImes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also reported in the June 13th article, Cosby was mulling a \u2018politically infused\u2019 defense strategy. It seems the strategy is quite literal, Cosby is campaigning for his innocence. On his side so far is a mistrial, two members of the jury refused to reach a verdict in the case, per NY Times. Also, Cosby will have a much better chance of a repeal given the mistrial. Cosby will soon appear again in court on charges of sexual assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing the original report, many didn\u2019t think Cosby would see the day of light. Now he has a platform, and is determined to prove the American Review that he is not \u2018Done\u2019, nor will he ever be \u2018Finished\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House, perpetually engulfed by American media, and Bill Cosby should be pleased by all the drama circulating Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Cosby appeared in court June 5th for criminal sexual assault allegations. Acquittal appears possible, as speculation builds on a politically infused defense strategy. Surveys show that some approve of the dismissal of charges all together. To really understand the situation, it is important to understand the strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Flashback-June 11, 2012- Jerry Sandusky\u2019s Criminal Sexual Assault Trial<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Penn State sexual abuse allegations came to a head as the most publicized child molestation case in history. Obama\u2019s failing economic policies, sprinkled with Romney jabs, completed a news cycle, overshadowed by controversy in Happy Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remnants of a time in America when the president had control over the press. With most outlets avoid negative coverage of the president, Sandusky was the perfect human shield for a man who was up for reelection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandusky was guilty long before the conclusion of his trail. He was convicted by the media. Later, he was proven guilty in a court of law, but extra coverage may suggest racial disparities in the Sandusky case, during Obama\u2019s tenure .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 5, 2017- Bill Cosby\u2019s Criminal Sexual Assault Trial<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill Cosby began after 59 sexual assault allegations sprang up in short order. The defendant should be eager to learn from the mistakes of his predecessors. The former Penn State coach\u2019s legal strategy lacked the \u2018attack\u2019 of successfully acquitted formerly accused. The template for success in similar situations has been historically two-fold. The strategy: Shield from press, and then attack. Countless times in American history we have seen prominent figures use a similar format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examining Potential Defense Strategies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosby\u2019s legal team would be privy to examine recent sexual abuse cases to assess historical success (Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Robert Kelly) and failure (Jerry Sandusky, Anthony Wiener, Michael Jackson).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our current political climate, an African American will tend to avoid media coverage, while a white member of the media, (Bill O\u2019Reilly) is crucified. This pattern has become all too familiar in our society. Whether Cosby orchestrated this tactic, or just merely coincidentally benefits from it remains to be seen. What we do know at this point is that Cosby likely has another facet to his legal agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase Two<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a radio interview Cosby presumably directed his own daughter to tell XM host, \u201cRacism has played a big role (in the allegations). The accusations against my father have been one-sided from the beginning. I\u2019ve witnessed my father\u2019s reputation and legendary works be dismissed without any proof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After deploring phase one, a man once revered in the African American community for resilience and condemning using racism as a social crutch, turned to racism for his own defense.<\/p>\n\n\n
