Bill Cosby Paranoid as trial set to start

The ReadyWriter

As the sexual assault trial is due to begin in the Cosby case, sources close to the comedian state, that he’s paranoid someone will try and harm him. Sources say Cosby refuses to stay at any of the hotels close to the courthouse for fear that someone will try and poison him or break into his hotel room and harm him. So Cosby will make the 300 mile trip back and forth to the courthouse from his Philadelphia home via his private plane.

The Cosby show actor is accused of sexually assaulting former University employee Andrea Constand. Constand alleges the 79-year-old drugged and molested her in 2004.

Mr Cosby says he is innocent and the encounter was consensual.

It is being seen as the biggest US celebrity trial since former American football player OJ Simpson’s murder trial in 1995.

Several of Mr Cosby’s co-stars from the 1984-1992 sitcom The Cosby Show are expected to attend the trial in Norristown outside Philadelphia, along with more than 100 journalists. Broadcasters and photographers are expected to camp outside for the circus, which is set to unfold.

The comedian was charged today for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home 12 years ago — the first criminal charges brought against the comedian out of the torrent of allegations that destroyed his good-guy image as America’s #1 Dad.

This case sets the stage for perhaps the biggest Hollywood celebrity trial of this era and could send the 78-year-old “pudding pop” comedian to prison in the twilight of his life and barrier-breaking career.

Prosecutors accused him of rendering former Temple University employee Andrea Constand unable to resist, by plying her with pills and wine, then penetrating her with his fingers without her consent, when she was unconscious or unaware of what was happening.

She was “frozen, paralyzed, unable to move,” Montgomery County District Attorney-elect Kevin Steele said in announcing the charges. He said it is unclear what type of pills Constand was given, but he noted that Cosby has admitted giving Quaaludes to women he wanted to have sex with.

Cosby acknowledged under oath a decade ago that he had sexual contact with Constand but said it was consensual. Calls to his attorneys were not immediately returned.

He is to be arraigned this afternoon on a charge of aggravated indecent assault, punishable by five to 10 years behind bars and a $25,000 fine.

Camille Cosby stands by her man!

Comedian Bill Cosby, has responded to reports that her husband is a serial rapist.

Mrs. Cosby released a statement to the media yesterday affirming her marital vows to stand by her husband.

Mrs. Cosby spoke out for the first time about allegations that Bill Cosby, 77, drugged and raped numerous women, including former supermodels Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickinson decades ago.

“He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man,” Mrs. Cosby said in a statement first reported by CBS. “A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a man I do not know.”

Many of the allegations against Bill Cosby are hearsay: their word against his. No criminal charges have been brought against him, and no evidence supports the women’s outrageous claims.

Mrs. Cosby compared the allegations against her husband to a Rolling Stone article written by a U.Va. rape accuser. The woman’s story is now in doubt because it contains factual errors and fabricated facts.

“None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim,” Mrs. Cosby wrote. “But the question should be asked — who is the victim?”

The Cosby’s celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in January.
