Bill Cosby sentenced to 3 to 10 years in state prison

Recommended Posts

• Bill Cosby was given a three-to-10-year prison sentence on Tuesday for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman, Andrea Constand, at his home near here 14 years ago.

• Ten women who had accused Mr. Cosby of sexual abuse, including Ms. Constand, were in the courthouse to witness the sentencing.

• Prosecutors had asked that he be sentenced to the maximum: 10 years in prison.

• Before sentencing, Judge Steven T. O’Neill upheld a state board’s finding that Mr. Cosby is a sexually violent predator.

• The court released Ms. Constand’s full victim impact statement, in which she wrote: “Bill Cosby took my beautiful, healthy young spirit and crushed it.”

• Mr. Cosby declined an opportunity to address the court before his sentence was handed down.

Apparently, three-ish years is pretty normal for this type of case. AKA: based on testimony, the statue of limitations having run out on every witness except one, and lack of any physical evidence.

 

He might as well be in jail for the rest of his life (which is shorter than the length of life he's lead thus far) but I guess something is better than nothing. It proves that these big names and celebrities can be convicted for their crimes against women.
