BILL COSBY ACCUSED OF RAPE

[HairOfTheDog]

Beverly Hills attorney Marty Singer ^ lashed out at the media today for its handling of the Bill Cosby sex abuse scandal, while also questioning the motives and credibility of his client’s accusers. “We’ve reached the point of absurdity. The stories are getting more ridiculous,” said Singer, who long has practiced extreme offense as a form of public defense for his clients. This is the man who just last month threatened Google with a $100 million lawsuit over hacked celebrity photos.

“People coming out of nowhere with this sort of inane yarn is what happens in a media-driven feeding frenzy.” Singer went after one of the newest Cosby accusers, former actress Louisa Moritz, who went public today with claims that the comic forced himself on her in the NYC Green Room of The Tonight Show in 1971. “I think people are trying to come up with these wild stories in order to justify why they have waited 40 to 50 years to disclose these ridiculous accusations.”

I agree with Cosby's very busy high-paid attorney -- some of what's been tossed into the mix is total crap, and there is a media feeding frenzy. Bound to happen. In some ways it benefits Cosby, IMO, if he continues to refuse addressing the allegations directly. The looney tunes detract from the legitimate victims and claims. I believe some of Cosby's known accusers, not all of them.

Even when date rape victims go to the police or hospital right away, there often isn't evidence of a crime and it isn't prosecutable. I don't blame the women who were truly raped or the DA who declined to prosecute for what Cosby allegedly got away with for so long. If he's guilty of multiple date rapes, and it's just my opinion that he is, I only blame him.

Anyway, this case isn't gonna go to trial and there won't be evidence to consider (unless the 2006 civil suit testimony/settlement terms are unsealed, but that won't happen). Whether people think Cosby's guilty or not guilty or remain neutral is gonna be a matter of opinion based on accusations alone in this case -- until/unless Cosby addresses the allegations directly.
