Verdict in Bill Cosby Sexual Assault Trial: Guilty on All Three Counts

The news dropped about a half hour ago but the written articles just started appearing.

A jury found Bill Cosby guilty of sexual assault on April 26.

Cosby, now 80, was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in his Pennsylvania home in 2004. A jury of seven men and five women found him guilty on three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault in a retrial of the case after less than two days of deliberations.

Cosby was charged with three counts that each carry a standard sentence range of five to 10 years in prison, but legal experts say the sentence for each count should run concurrently under Pennsylvania law since they all cover the same incident and conduct. That means the 80-year-old is likely facing up to 10 years behind bars.

I did not expect this verdict.

Oh, boy: Gloria Alred just read emails from her clients and declared this a "herstoric result." No really, she said that.

Frankly she sounds like she's using this to tee up her next planned campaign against Trump.

Yes, she's now nearly explicit that this is about Trump: "How many women does it take to convince people to believe a single woman that a rich, powerful, famous man is guilty?" Something like that.
