This is why he settled the civil case. The discussions and deliberations during the civil case were used against him in the later criminal case. That was a violation of his double jeopardy rights.The original Civil lawsuit was not won by the accuser when Cosby gave that deposition that you are misquoting from. He settled which is what all celebs are advised to do from their team for PR reasons. He did not LOSE it as you suggested. But you already knew that, I'm sure.
And he never admitted to doing what he was charged with. He wasn't even charged with "drugging someone". But im sure you knew that too as you are one of the biggest liars on this site.
Can't wait till they ban you again. Hopefully next time they won't let you come back until after the election
Cosby's past words on drugs and sex led to conviction: juror

(Reuters) - Bill Cosby's 2005 admission that he drugged women to have sex with them was the most compelling piece of evidence leading a Pennsylvania jury to finding him guilty of sexual assault, one of the jurors told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday.
That admission, which the actor made when he was facing a civil lawsuit, had also been a key piece of evidence for prosecutors in Cosby's first trial on the charges, which ended last year with that jury unable to reach a verdict.
"It was his deposition," Harrison Snyder, 22, told ABC. "Mr. Cosby admitted to giving these Quaaludes to women, young women, in order to have sex with them."
The 80-year-old entertainer, best known as the iconic father from the 1980'S TV hit "The Cosby Show," faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced in the next three months for drugging and raping Andrea Constand, 45, in 2004 at his home in a Philadelphia suburb.
The seven-man, five-woman jury that included Snyder reached a unanimous decision on Thursday after 12 hours of deliberations, about 10 months after the previous jury deadlocked in his first trial on the same charges, prompting the judge to declare a mistrial.
In the deposition from the 2005 civil lawsuit filed by Constand, Cosby described giving drugs, including the sedative Quaaludes, and alcohol to women before sex, hosting Constand at his home and a slew of other acts.
Prosecutors presented new witnesses at Cosby's most recent trial that the judge had blocked them from calling in 2017, including five other women who accused him of drugging and assaulting them.
Snyder told ABC that he had been unfamiliar with Cosby and the #MeToo movement against sexual assault and harassment before the trial because he does not watch the news and that he was not initially sure that Cosby was guilty. He was convinced after hearing the evidence.
"If you were there, you would say the same thing. You would say that he's guilty," Snyder said. "I have no doubt at all."
Cosby is planning to appeal the verdict, which could potentially delay his imprisonment for months or even years.

The depositions in the civil case helped to bury Cosby…but it was overturned because it wasn’t supposed to be used in the criminal case.
Cosby admitted it in the civil case. You’re wrong. He’s functionally guilty.

Bill Cosby, in Deposition, Said Drugs and Fame Helped Him Seduce Women
July 18, 2015

Read updates of Day 11 of the Bill Cosby trial.
He was not above seducing a young model by showing interest in her father’s cancer. He promised other women his mentorship and career advice before pushing them for sex acts. And he tried to use financial sleight of hand to keep his wife from finding out about his serial philandering.
Bill Cosby admitted to all of this and more over four days of intense questioning 10 years ago at a Philadelphia hotel, where he defended himself in a deposition for a lawsuit filed by a young woman who accused him of drugging and molesting her.
Even as Mr. Cosby denied he was a sexual predator who assaulted many women, he presented himself in the deposition as an unapologetic, cavalier playboy, someone who used a combination of fame, apparent concern and powerful sedatives in a calculated pursuit of young women — a profile at odds with the popular image he so long enjoyed, that of father figure and public moralist.
In the deposition, which Mr. Cosby has for years managed to keep private but was obtained by The New York Times, the entertainer comes across as alternately annoyed, mocking, occasionally charming and sometimes boastful, often blithely describing sexual encounters in graphic detail.
...
The parties have been prohibited from releasing the memorandum because of a confidentiality clause that was part of the settlement agreement, but the deposition itself was never sealed. This month, Ms. Constand’s lawyer asked the court to lift the confidentiality clause so her client would be free to release the nearly 1,000-page deposition transcript. The Times later learned that the transcript was already publicly available through a court reporting service.
”
...
Yet the association endured for a few years, until one night at his Pennsylvania home, when Ms. Constand said Mr. Cosby drugged and molested her.
Mr. Cosby said he gave her one and a half tablets of Benadryl to relieve stress, they kissed and had sexual contact. Her lawyer said she believed it was a much more powerful drug.
...
During the call, Mr. Cosby told the deposing lawyers, he wanted Ms. Constand to tell her mother “about the orgasm” so that she would realize it was consensual.

“Tell your mother about the orgasm. Tell your mother how we talked,” he said he remembered thinking.
...
He admitted to giving young women quaaludes at that time “the same as a person would say have a drink,” he said, but not without their knowledge.
Though he portrayed the drug-taking and sex as consensual, Mr. Cosby — when asked whether Ms. Serignese was in a position to consent to sexual intercourse after he gave her quaaludes in 1976 — said: “I don’t know.”

You're so stupid that you're not understanding.
The article is incorrect where the journalist interjected their own opinion. Read the statement from the prosecutor. The prosecutor didn't say that Cosby drugged anyone. The prosecutors said he GAVE them drugs. Those are two very different things. If he drugged those women, they could have filed a charge against him for that. But they did not.
Giving someone drugs is NOT drugging them. And again Cosby won both cases. The first case they couldn't get him so they tried him a second time and even then they had to violate his civil rights to do it. He would have won that one had they not violated his rights. Why? Cause the man is innocent.
The attorney says
He didn’t win. He settled. Thats not a win in civil cases. You know this, of course.
They gave him a non-prosecutorial deal. Thats why the case was overturned, not because he’s innocent of the charges.

You're so ignorant that you're not looking at what you're quoting. In that article right there it says he didn't give the drugs without their knowledge. Meaning they KNEW and consensually took whatever he offered them. Which was my point.
In the article, ole girl didn't say he forced it down her throat. He gave her a pill and she willingly took it. Which goes back to what I said earlier.
I could give your fool ass a pill right now. If you take it, does that mean I drugged you?
My God you are stupid.
he demurred when asked if they knew if they were being drugged.

If he was guilty, no prosecutor would have turned down the opportunity to bring him down. We see prosecutors all the time who WISH they could have a career defining case that will be in the news.
The prosecutor didn't prosecute cause Cosby was being sleazy and cheating on his wife... but he didn't commit any crimes.
Cosby settled the civil lawsuit because again, that's what all celebrities are advised to do because going through a protracted trial does their career no favors. You know as well as I do that most celebrities settle not because of guilt but so that they can move on. They go ahead and give the person suing them what they want, which is money, to get them out of their hair.
No defense but that sex trafficking charge appears to very vague. It appears that having h0es for a freak off or paying h0es to get loose applies.
He was found guilty in the criminal trial because of stuff in the civil trial that was not supposed to be used against him. Read the appeal in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
No, they settle because of the demand for privacy. True innocence takes it to trial. Of course it was much more messy for him to go through with the proceedings but 2005 isn’t 2015.
yeah. I honestly don’t understand it.
I know what pimping is.
I know what pandering is.
Sex trafficking seems to range from literal kidnapping and running exploitation rings…to … flying models around?

Let me ask you a question. Have you read that entire deposition? Cause I have.
Do you really think somebody who raped a woman would say "yeah I raped her!"
When he was asked that question, why didn't he just lie and say "Of course she consented!"
Wouldn't that have been the smart thing to do for a truly guilty man?
Or was this a man who was trying to be honest cause he knows he partied hard in his youth in the 70s and was smashing these hoes and true, he had some scumbag ways, selling them dreams etc and he knows that there were times when stuff got crazy and he wanted to be honest. But at no point does he say "Yes I drugged this woman".
He offered her drugs. She willingly took them. And then they got down.
Why was she in his hotel room? What you think she went back to his hotel room late at night to read the Bible?
She was there to get smashed.
Cosby did what men still do to this day, which is smoke, drink, get high with women for sex. And you know that as well as I do (well maybe you don't, I don't know yalls culture in India).
