Bill Cosby Gets Off!

After getting off sooooo many times with women who shunned Bill Cosby's advances and were then forced into getting him off, America's favorite dad got off again yesterday ... with his sexual assault case being declared a mistrial after the jury was unable to come to a unanimous decision on the verdict.
Cosby was charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault and a jury of seven men and five women weren't able to agree on a verdict after six days of deliberation. Two days in, the jury told the judge there were in a deadlock but the judge ordered the jury to continue deliberations. Four days later, the jury again reported to the judge, a deadlock. The defense moved for a mistrial, which the judge granted and the prosecution promised to retry to the case.
Cosby faced a 30-year prison sentence for allegedly drugging and assaulting Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his Philly home in 2004.
Cosby's wife of XX years, Camille, was absent at the start of the trial but showed up to support her husband the day the verdict was to be delivered. Outside the courthouse, the family's PR rep read her prepared statement: "How do I describe the district attorney? Heinously and exploitatively ambitious. How do I describe the judge? Overtly arrogant in collaborating with the district attorney. How do I describe the counsels for the accusers? Totally unethical. How do I describe many, but not all, general media? Blatantly vicious entities that continually disseminated intentional omissions of truth for the primary purpose of greedily selling sensationalism at the expense of a human life. Historically, people have challenged injustices. I am grateful to any of the jurors who tenaciously fought to review the evidence, which is the rightful way to make a sound decision. Ultimately, that is the manifestation of justice, based on facts, not lies. As a very special friend once stated, 'Truth can be subdued, but not destroyed.'"
A few days before, The Cosby Show alum yelled his famous Fat Albert line to media and to his supporters outside the courthouse (see the video above). Uh, weird. Hey, hey, hey ... you got off again, Mr. Cosby, but we have a feeling your luck will run out ...
