Bill Cosby Dropped By
Two Lawyers And Judge Refuses To Dismiss Criminal Rape Case
Which Heads To Trial

California attorneys
Christopher Tayback and Joseph Sarles have dropped Hollywood
actor Bill Cosby as a client, withdrawing from his sexual
assault criminal case. Cosby's legal team filed a last ditch
attempt to have the criminal case for drugging and sexually
assaulting then university student, Andrea Constand, tossed
from court. However, Judge Steven O'Neill refused to grant
Cosby's Motion to Dismiss in Pennsylvania. In October 2015,
Hollywood lawyer Martin Singer also withdrew from
representing Cosby in civil cases regarding sexual assault.
The fallen icon has been
publicly accused of sexually assaulting 50 women, many of
whom also stated Cosby drugged them. A number of famous
women are among the victims who have come forward regarding
Cosby sexually assaulting and or drugging them.
Cosby has
been accused of this criminal misconduct for decades, but it
was kept quiet and police in Hollywood refused to do
anything about it. However, the scandal exploded when
comedian Hannibal Buress commented on the topic during a
live show in Los Angeles ("But you raped
women, Bill Cosby, so that kind of brings you down a couple
notches"). Buress'
comments were carried on the Huffington Post website
creating a firestorm against Cosby, which eventually led to
criminal charges.
Cosby's fall from grace
is an absolute shame. As someone who grew up watching "The
Cosby Show" which is a great program, as well as other
sitcoms the star produced, such as the groundbreaking "It's
A Different World" I'm sorry Cosby did not conduct himself
in a dignified and lawful manner in his personal life. Cosby
did do some good for charity. However, his criminal
mistreatment of women is completely overshadowing all his
work and understandably so.
I would like to implore
people to conduct their personal and professional lives
within the confines of the law. Exploiting and hurting
others is not the way. Use the podium and opportunities you
have been given in life to do good things. To do the
opposite in harming others is unethical and will catch up
with you.
