Camille Cosby is standing by her man.
No matter how many women he almost definitely raped.
One of those women is named Andrea Constand, and Bill Cosby was found guilty on three counts of aggravated sexual assault against her late last month.
He faces a decade in prison as a result of the verdict.
The outcome came about 10 months after Cosby’s original trial ended with a deadlocked jury, amid numerous other allegations of sexual assault against Cosby.
Overall, approximately 60 women have accused the comedian of drugging them and taking advantage of them.
But Camille Cosby isn’t having it.
She has released a stunning, lengthy statement that defends her husband and blames a combination of racism and media biased for his guilty verdict.
“‘We the people’ are the first three words of our nation’s Constitution, but who were those people in 1787?” began Cosby in her three-page statement, which was released Thursday morning by spokesman Andrew Wyatt.
To what is Camille referring here?
The color of the skin of our Founding Fathers and how African-Americans have essentially not been giving a fair deal ever since this nation was founded.
Continues the 74-year old:
“Now enters an American citizen, Bill Cosby.
“The overall media, with their frenzied, relentless demonization of him and unquestioning acceptance of accusers’ allegations without any attendant proof, have superseded the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, which guarantee due process and equal protection, and thereby eliminated the possibility of a fair trial and unbiased jury.”
Yeah.
Wow, huh? There’s a lot to take in there.
“Once again, an innocent person has been found guilty based on an unthinking, unquestioning, unconstitutional frenzy propagated by the media and allowed to play out in a supposed court of law,” she also says.
“Bill Cosby was labelled as guilty because the media and accusers said so… period. And the media ensured the dissemination of that propaganda by establishing barricades preventing the dissemination of the truth in violation of the protections of the First Amendment.
“Are the media now the people’s judges and juries?”
No, of course.
In this case, an actual judge and actual jury decided Bill Cosby’s fate.
Camille is arguing, however, that their decision-making was influenced by the many articles written over the past several months regarding accusations against her husband.
And she doesn’t believe any of the alleged victims.
“Since when are all accusers truthful?” Camille asks, referencing Constand and adding:
“I firmly believe her recent testimony during trial was perjured; as was shown at trial, it was unsupported by any evidence and riddled with innumerable, dishonest contradictions.”
In her statement, Camille likened her husband to martyred Emmett Till and other black men falsely accused of rape by white women:
“These are just two of many tragic instances of our justice system utterly and routinely failing to protect African Americans falsely accused in so-called courts of law and the entirely unfair court of public opinion.”
She wants to see a “criminal investigation” opened into the actions of the “district attorney and his cohorts,” who she labels as exploitive and corrupt.
“Someday the truth will prevail,” concluded Camille. “It always does.”
Constand’s lawyer, Dolores Troiani, issued a brief response Thursday morning.
She said the truth has already prevailed and, smartly, left it at that:
“Twelve honorable people – a jury of Cosby’s peers – have spoken. There is nothing more that needs to be said.”
Bill Cosby has said nothing publicly since he was convicted on April 26.
He will be sentenced at some point in the next two to three months.
