sad day today
Take him to PRISON today!!! Never-mind the fact that he was a very productive member of society. Who cares if it’s his first offense. So what this man donated, to numerous charities. Including 20 million to spelman.( The Elite black woman’s college) Forget the fact that he’s a 81 year old, legally blind man. Coincidentally these accusations were made. Right around the time “Cosby” was said to be in the process… of purchasing NBC. #metoomovement Personally I’m not buying this bs. I DO NOT condone rape in any shape, form, or fashion. But I believe he’s not guilty!
What does jello have to do with an alleged rape case? Shouldn’t this be handled more seriously? It’s a joke to them… wake up people! I DO NOT condone rape in no shape, form, or fashion. But I believe he is not guilty.Yesterday, Def Jam’s 2 Chainz reacted to Cosby receiving hard time.
Facts. WOW.

According to reports, a judge handed Cosby his sentence this afternoon for the drugging and sexual assault of Canadian woman Andrea Constand in 2004.
Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill also declared Cosby, 81, a “sexually violent predator” early Tuesday, ensuring that the former Cosby Show star must undergo monthly counselling for the rest of his life and report four times a year to authorities. As a result of the classification, he’ll also have to appear on a sex-offender registry sent to schools, neighbours and victims. The judge denied Cosby’s legal team’s request for bail pending appeal.

Cosby is expected to be immediately placed in a cell following his court appearance.
The sentence means that Cosby, once known as “America’s Dad,” will spend at least three years behind bars and then will become eligible for supervised release, although that’s not guaranteed. According to journalist Bobby Allyn who was in the courtroom, the judge will not grant bail and the comedian is expected to be taken away to a cell shortly. (Yahoo! Entertainment)

The actual sentence imposed on Bill Cosby is 3-10 years in a state prison. That means 81-year-old Cosby will serve at least 3 years behind bars. After 3 years, he would become eligible for supervised released, but there is no guarantee he would be released them.
