Honoris causa, hey?

No more pudding for Dr. Huxtable!

When he goes to prison, he may want pants without an elastic waistband.  Just sayin'.

So I heard in passing that his bail isn't being revoked. Does that mean he gets to go home until sentencing? I had heard of that in non-violent white collar situations but it strikes me as really odd in this case. Perhaps some of our attorney friends can enlighten me.

I hadn't heard that.  I guess calling the prosecuting attorney an a$$hole as he was requesting the revocation was a good strategy.

It's great how you two converse through Scoop.  Now, if I could only get my MU grad wife to start posting on Scoop!

[jsglow]

Yeah, I just read that he gets to go home until sentencing.  Only restriction is that he's not to leave the county in which he lives and that he surrender his passport.

I personally think this is absolutely crazy.  He's just been convicted of a violent crime.  And he absolutely has the financial resources to be a flight risk.  This totally sounds like special treatment to me.  Should have been perp walked in handcuffs.

You know what's really funny Lighthouse?  When she's at one end of the couch typing away and I'm at the other doing the same!

I am really hurt by this. We're not all dumb jocks.

True. Most of us are dumb ex jocks or dumb never were jocks.

Well perhaps some pudding pops.

One of my pet peeves is that rich criminals get to hang out at home after they've been convicted. If he were some poor, unknown stranger guilty of these exact crimes, he'd have been hauled away.

[HouWarrior]

Wow
This is pleasant news.
I will admit when the stories first broke I doubted they could get a conviction...wow...great...chalk one up for the system, and some good prosecutor work.
That he remains on bail maybe a systemic flaw but dont let it dissuade you from a day of joy in seeing a conviction of a criminal...justice served.

Sorry gang, there is nothing to celebrate here. Not a conviction. Not anything.

It's disgusting what happened to the women Cosby abused. Period. No ifs, ands or buts. He likely will spend the remainder of his life locked up somewhere.

It's also disgusting to see the seamier side of someone to whom millions of us once admired. He's a pioneer entertainer and was one of the best at his craft for a long time. It's beyond belief that anyone would resort to what Cosby did, but he did.

Sadly, it's off to prison for America's Dad.

The dialogue is so much more open and honest than most married couples I know....

Now Brokaw accused of sexual assault.

I will never again discuss a celebrity with a child and call them a role model.  Almost without fail, they have turned out to be not what they seem.  I will stick to people I know personally.

I've almost never thought of celebrities as role models. Too easily to be disappointed. Cosby is so disappointing not because he's a celebrity, but because what he did to women was sooooooo wrong and sooooooo disgusting.

That he was a speaker at Marquette's commencement a few years back testifies to the good he had done in his life. Unfortunately, that's all out the window.

Even though our Justice system apparently has worked, it's nothing to cheer about that he is going to prison. Yes, he'll get what is appropriate for his conduct, but to see folks cheering, as they did in West Palm Beach, FL yesterday, ignores the tragedy of the act and its consequences.

I am not sure that your preference to respond to this news in a certain manner provides you the position to control others response.

It is unlikely we all come down one road at the issue of men in positions of power engaging in sexual assaults. I have never known what it was like to have kept secret or not report an assault for fear of the power or position of the perpetrator. I havent had to fear being accused of being a slut or causing my own assault. I havent had to allow men to openly objectify me in the workplace to preserve my job. I know ....to hear a guy like me say these things is laughable...but it reiterates how afar men are from true empathy of these matters.

If you are seeing women cheer about this the answer may not be telling them to shut up .......it may be ask them why they are cheering, ....from their perspective...my guess is theirs is different from yours.
