A Young Woman’s Opinion of The Bill Cosby Mistrial

It was utterly horrifying to learn that Bill Cosby’s case resulted in a mistrial today. Judge O’Neill was forced to declare an inconclusive trial when jurors were unable to reach a verdict after more than 53 hours of deliberation. He urged the jury not to feel as though they disappointed the justice system; however, there are countless women who were let down by the events of today. The prosecution’s case was nearly airtight and they presented many witnesses to the stand. Additionally, Cosby’s 2005 excerpts showcased his admission to purchasing quaaludes and distributing them to the women he wanted to have sex with. Men who are not guilty do not incapacitate and rape women over a period of decades.

Another alarming factor of today’s mistrial manifested in a statement by Cosby’s wife, Camille which reads as follows:

“How do I describe the District Attorney? Heinously and exploitively ambitious. How do I describe the judge? Overtly and arrogantly collaborating with the District Attorney. How do I describe the counsels for the accusers? Totally unethical. How do I describe many, but not all, general media? Blatantly vicious entities that continually disseminated intentional omissions of truths for the primary purpose of greedily selling sensationalism at the expense of a human life.”
