"Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives."
- John P. Schmitt, lawyer for Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby‘s attorney put out a fierce statement today to the press after three additional woman came out publicly saying the comedy icon sexually assaulted them. Martin Singer made it known in the statement that he’s getting a bit peeved with the “media-driven feeding frenzy.”

1. Fuck him. Twice.

2. Cosby's veracity on this has been self fucked...!!!

[merrily]

3. This time, I meant the lawyer, but you're right. Fuck 'em both.

4. Is a lawyer following his client's instructions really what's important here?

I can just see the lawyer explaining. "I'm sorry Mr. Cosby, but I cannot issue another statement. I said a week ago that we would not issue any more statements, and a consistent message is more important than your instructions."

Seems like the rape allegations are the real issue.

5. That's not what a "lie" is.

When someone makes a prediction or promise that something will or will not happen, and it turns out differently, or even if they themselves change their mind, that is not a "lie."

Lying is saying something you know not to be true, not being wrong about it or predicting the future inaccurately or breaking a promise.

And yes, as noted, the lawyer is not the point of the Cosby story. He is a spokesman for Cosby.

Odd to focus on the lawyer here.

6. It is another media feeding frenzy, that is what the lawyer is saying. How is he wrong about these

unproven and already well examined old allegations....and allegstions they are, allegstions they remain no matter the rush to judgment in the court of public opinion and current feed in the trough.

This constant and perpetual rush to judgment because you can is wrong...the media is a poor judge of criminal guilt.

And agreed, how did the lawyer lie by make a promise or prediction that did not turn out? Weird way to define the word.

9. One can only hope that this trend for chewing up people in the media turns towards political figures

Vengeance seems to be a driving motive these days.

11. Media maybe "a poor judge of criminal guilt"......

but sadly it seem better then our legal system.

[Fred Sanders]

12. Sadly some may agree with you.

[daleanime]

15. What's sad is the fact....

that it's true.

8. Thanks for your understanding. Some people want to attack the attorney for doing his job, as if

it is wrong until they need a lawyer to represent them. There is an old saying among lawyers that everyone hates lawyers, except for their own.

[Orsino]

7. Lawyer is probably having a little trouble believing in his client's innocence. n/t

Wouldn't be surprising to see an honest lawyer bailing right about now.

[Fred Sanders]

13. Lawyers, good criminal lawyers, do not give a shit if their client is guilty or innocent.

All they care about is the admissible in court evidence and what it may lead to in a court of law, apologies to the court of public opinion.

[Stuart G]

14. I agree with the statement above.

Good criminal lawyers can't give a shit. If they are effectively defending their client, then he/she has to have dealt with the problem of the client lying long ago.. How can one live with themselves, if he/she is constantly dealing with the lies. They find a way. It is a job. Yes a well paid one for the very good lawyers, but still a job. The lies go with the territory, and it is a very ugly territory as this case demonstrates

[Fred Sanders]

16. The point is that it is not the job of the criminal defence lawyer to determine who is truthful,

there is an entire system set up for that.

Hint: it is not CNN or Entertainment Channel.

10. Time to head old Bill to court and see if these allegations can be proven, we

Owe it to Cosby, all the ladies with claims and the public.
