Dear editor;
Showing my age, my mindset prohibits me from serving on the jury of the Bill Cosby type of case. And I am not alone. My political women friends agree with me. What do we senior ladies want to know?
There were 60 women charging Cosby with rape, Cosby’s lifestyle, his meandering around, is open for public scrutiny. Why not his women partners, too? I only read that one was a minor. Sixty women! Was there a virgin among them?
Serving on a jury, I would want a thorough background check on all 60 victims. Single, married, divorced, how many times? Children? Grandchildren? Living with family, alone, or with a significant other? How many significant others in their history? Number of gigolos, or one night stands encountered? Has a monetary or favor exchange ever been experienced?
If the public has a right to all this negative information on Cosby, women need to come clean and the press needs to report it. How else can a writer make a movie or write a book honestly about this case?
The movie or book should start out with Cosby’s confessing his sins to a clergymen, and if possible, penance to include all his family, starting with his mother and father whom he was supposed to honor, the Fourth Commandment.
The violation of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, violates the First and Second. I say this because, hopefully it will be religion class 101 for the readers who are living a lifestyle in the mold of Cosby. Perhaps all the 60 “victims” are, but we never will know.
