The events of the infamous Bill Cosby trial have trended and made headlines across the nation for weeks. Countless Americans are keeping track of the latest updates and revelations. For years, Bill Cosby was regarded as a wholesome man who embodied excellence; his portrayal of the ethical Cliff Huxtable charmed many Americans. However, this illusion came crashing down when over 40 women came forward and announced that Cosby had drugged and sexually assaulted them over a period of decades. The time has come for Bill Cosby to stand trial for his misdeeds. Earlier today, a series of interesting events played out in the courtroom. ABC News reports that Kelly Johnson, one of Cosby's many accusers, delivered her testimony today. She stated that Cosby gave her a pill and the next thing she remembers is waking up next to him in bed. Obviously, Cosby denied the allegations, but in 2005 he admitted under oath that he purchased quaaludes to give to the women he wanted to have sex with. According to Johnson, when she asked Cosby whether she had been drugged, he replied, "Trust me. Would I ever give you anything to hurt you?" Johnson never reported the incident to the police due to feelings of embarrassment and humiliation. During the time, Cosby was a popular celebrity and a report would have merely been her word versus his word.
