Bill Cosby Trial Reemerges-Victoria Gonzalez

   Bill Cosby was a beloved and aspired comedian in the eighties and the nineties, however, in the course of last year things have changed due to five women coming out and admitting that he drugged and raped them when they went to visit to talk about business matters or work. His trial has been put off but it now looming and the odds are not in Cosby's favor. Legal experts predict ten years for eighty-year-old Cosby, for the actor ten years in prison could mean the rest of his life behind bars. The difference in this investigation is mostly attorneys and bias. If we're going to start on attorneys, I say this meaning that Cosby has now hired the same attorney who helped Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson avoid child molestation and domestic violence charges. However, bias comes into play because within the past year the #MeToo movement has dramatically increased meaning society and most likely, the jury, is more open to listening to the women and their stories. I believe he did it, as much as I wish it wasn't true it's unavoidable to acknowledge the fact that all women have the exact same stories about his behavior and how he targeted them. If the verdict or evidence proves his guilt, I won't be surprised.
