So happy to live in a society where all it takes to get the legal system moving against powerful men is testimony from more than 50 women.

Hopefully now many of these women will get to tell their stories in a court of law and the people who supported him will get deposed.

"This is a seismic shift for Bill Cosby," says veteran publicist Howard Bragman, founder of Fifteen Minutes Public Relations. "In the past there was deniability and his attorneys could say he has never been charged criminally. All of a sudden the stakes have changed, and he could end up in jail" at age 78.
I've read on and off about BC's rapes. Just disgusting, he wasn't my hero so no love loss here. Gloria A said he had 700 lawyers, of course that's a large firm and 700 wouldn't be working on BC's case but might have gotten a memo to review the case lol...What firm? I found one with over 700 employees. If it's already been announced, then nevermind. Just curious about what 700 are involved.http://www.martindale.com/Ogletree-Deakins-Nash-Smoak-Stewart/law-firm-22739.htm
Re: the legally blind claims, his right eye does look weird.
New evidence?
This is going to be interesting to follow. Cosby is in the fight of his life now. He has an endless flow of money, the best lawyers his money can buy and this is probably a he said she said case.
Do you think Cosby will be found not guilty because of these things? There is a good chance IMO

Monique Pressley represented him today, but I don't know who else is involved.

Bill Cosby has replaced one of his lawyers in two civil suits against the comedian that allege sexual misconduct and defamation.
Lawyer Martin Singer is being replaced with Quinn Emmanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, report the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and the Associated Press. The Los Angeles Times describes Singer as “a Hollywood pit bull attorney” and says Quinn Emmanuel lawyer Christopher Tayback is taking his place.
http://articles.philly.com/2015-08-11/news/65419388_1_bill-cosby-deposition-motionBut lawyers for three accusers - Tamara Green, Therese Serignese and Linda Traitz - filed a counter-motion on Friday seeking to block Cosby's request. They also filed a motion to financially sanction Cosby's legal team, Patrick J. O'Connor and George M. Gowen III, with Cozen O'Connor, for its motion.
Seeing Cosby’s mugshot today, Valentino was moved to tears. “I just never really thought I’d see the day,” she said. “I can’t bear to look at his face, you know, but to see him in a vulnerable position compared to how he made us feel so vulnerable. It’s justice. It’s just karma.”
“My client is very happy that Mr. Cosby will be brought to justice in the criminal court system. She hopes that the LA District attorney's will also see fit to bring charges in her case," Goins’ attorney Spencer Kuvin told FOX411. "She’s always wanted him behind bars for what he’s done.”
The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating Goins’ claims. According to Kuvin, the claim is still pending and under review at the Los Angeles District Attorney. “They were looking to see what Pennsylvania would do because they were aware of the investigation underway,” Kuvin said.
If I was in the company of someone who made any sort of sexual advance that made me uncomfortable, rest assured you would NEVER find me in his company EVER again. I wonder why she kept going back to his home? Thoughts?
Any legal eagles know if the civil settlement can be brought up at trial?
Unfortunately, that is quite common for rape victims. Some still are drawn to them. Other than the rape he may have treated them nicely at times. They knew he held a lot of power. Some are too fearful to tell the rapist they don't want to be around them anymore fearing retaliation. And for a long time some of the victims will try to convince themselves it was all their fault... when in truth no one has a right to take advantage of anyone sexually who they have rendered impaired.
I have read comments given by a lot of these victims as to why they kept having something to do with him or how they felt at the time and its very consistent with other rape victims. IMO
