In a previous post, I discussed how sad I was to see a great African American icon being dragged through the mud over rape accusations. Now TMZ is reporting evidence that may help vindicate the beloved entertainer.
Bill Cosby has PROOF he was not even at the Playboy Mansion the night one of his accusers claims he sexually assaulted her … so says Cosby’s lawyer.
Legal pit bull Marty Singer tells TMZ … on the date in question — August 9, 2008 — he has flight and telephone records that clearly place Cosby in New York City … 2,500 miles from the Mansion.
Chloe Goins claims Cosby gave her a drink at the Mansion during the Midsummer Night’s Party and the next thing she knew she was naked in a bedroom as Cosby sucked her toes and masturbated…And one more thing … the August 9th party was extensively covered by the media, and photos were published of the various celebs in attendance, including Paris Hilton, Matthew Perry, Jim Belushi, Jason Statham and Bill Maher. There are no pics or mention of Cosby.
Of course even if Cosby is vindicated of this particular accusation, it doesn’t prove he’s innocent of the others, but if just one of his accusers is exposed as a liar, it could be a major victory in the court of public opinion.
He’s probably innocent
“Of course even if Cosby is vindicated of this particular accusation, it doesn’t prove he’s innocent of the others, but if just one of his accusers is exposed as a liar, it could be a major victory in the court of public opinion.”
That’s called the “fallacy fallacy” or “argument from fallacy”. It’s the logical formal fallacy of analyzing an argument and inferring that, since it contains a fallacy, its conclusion must be false. With over two dozen accusers it wasn’t unexpected there would be one who was questionable or perhaps sought to jump on the bandwagon. Of course, she was one of the last to accuse him. Over 20 other women had already come forward. And none were within the statute of limitations. In other words, Cosby was never going to be charged. The only court he’d ever face was the court of public opinion. This was always about his reputation. This is pure specualation, but it would be a brilliant move if he’d paid her to make bogus charges he could disprove. One disproven claim could be used by his PR gurus to push the fallacy fallacy.
Excellent point. Nothing is more helpful to an accused person than a similar accusation that can be easily discredited.
i wonder where cosby acquired his drug knowledge – there must be great risk in drugging so many women with an amount of drug needed to make then semi-unresponsive yet NOT comatose or dead. Even though the coz is a sicko for his unconscious woman fetish, it’s an interesting accomplishment to have drugged so many people & never drugged one too much, etc. It’s pretty risky pharmacologically (plus he wouldn’t know if some were already on other meds, etc.) i hope some of you pharmacists or anesthesiologists can chime in on this issue!
Despite flunking the SAT, evidence suggests he has more than enough intelligence to be an evil genius
Not only is he the most successful African American of his generation, but as a child he reportedly obtained the highest IQ score in his school.
Now the school probably had an average IQ of 87 with an SD of only 12.4, but assuming it had about 1000 students, Cosby’s IQ was likely 125, making him as bright as the average doctor which would explain the medical knowledge these alleged crimes require
And of course he played a doctor on the Cosby Show & they probably had medical consultants to make the show more realistic. Perhaps Cosby relied on these experts to gain medical knowledge under the guise of innocent show ideas
it’s an interesting accomplishment to have drugged so many people & never drugged one too much, etc. It’s pretty risky pharmacologically (plus he wouldn’t know if some were already on other meds, etc.)
On the other hand, given how hard this would have been to pull off given his lack of medical training, raises the possibility that he’s innocent
Maybe those low SAT scores could be used by his lawyer to vindicate him: “my client is simply not bright enough to have done all this!”
Federal rules of evidence rule 702 states only experts can authenticate a cell phones location. It is disingenuous to say he has proof through phone records. The call detail records aren’t usually kept that long and it would certainly take a while to get and analyze them

I have wondered about a possible drug overdose. In his Larry king interview he knew spanish fly dose should be a pin drop? How did he know this? It is a lethal drug not meant for consumption. It’s also possible that there were drug ODs at the the mansion and coverups. Of course that is speculation. Interestingly he offered coffee to a few people. New rohypnol pills were changed in some countries to be disolvable only in hot liquids so Beverly Johnson and a coffee drink would make sense
