I was totally SHOCKED that they found him guilty----I figured he'd totally walk, like O.J.

Speaking of walking, did anybody notice how he pathetically put on a show of limping / using a cane, walking INto court, but walked totally unassisted / without a limp, OUT of court, after cussin' the DA, or whomever?

Now, if they'll just give 'im the max----30 years.....

It did not surprise me because metoo happened between the first and second trails. It would not surprise me if got a minimal sentence, old guy, first conviction, philanthropist and so on.

I think it's really interesting that with all the high-profile, rich men in entertainment who've been accused of rape...

...the one who got tried and convicted is the black dude.

No, they've already been pulled----even the black channels are not showing them.

What high-profile white men have been accused of rape? Sexual harassment, yeah, a whole bunch; but.....

Roy Moore, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein...

...and if we want to throw sexual assault that doesn't quite manage to be rape into the mix, that's a longer list than I'll have time to type.
