MeToo and Bill Cosby

from Bostonred · host bostonred

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele immediately argued that Cosby’s bail should be revoked and he be jailed. He argued that the entertainer has a plane and could flee.“This is somebody who has unlimited wealth,” Steele argued. “I don’t think any amount of bail can assure his presence under these circumstance.”Cosby spit back, yelling, almost as if to himself: “He doesn’t have a plane, you asshole.”Phill.comThough the jury took very little time to find Mr. Cosby guilty, Michelle Dempsey, a law professor at Villanova University, cautioned that the verdict should not be regarded as a litmus test for #MeToo, but simply as a jury’s decision in a single case.More important, she said, is that the case is part of a shift in what she calls the “norms of accountability.” People can discuss abuse on Twitter, while many companies have beefed up harassment training.New York Times Crowd of over 50,000 rallies at Capitol in support of Arizona teachers https://www.12news.com/article/news/education/recap-crowd-of-over-50000-rallies-at-capitol-in-support-of-arizona-teachers/75-546029723
