ICHEOKU says what he did is completely abhorable and inexcusable to say the least. Drugging women just to enable him have his way with them is the worst form of violation any kind one can imagine. Therefore, ICHEOKU supports wholeheartedly the conviction of 81-year-old Bill Cosby for his crimes of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman, According to the sentencing judge Steve O'Neil, "It is time for justice. Mr. Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The time has come."
ICHEOKU agrees that justice sometimes catches up with one when least expected, after thinking that one has beat the crime. Bill Cosby was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison; ordered to pay a $25,000 fine and is now designated a sexually violent predator. His lawyer asked for him to remain free on bail pending appeal, but the judge rejected the plea, insisting that despite Bill Cosby's advanced old age and blindness, "he could quite possibly be a danger to the community."
ICHEOKU queries were Bill Cosby a white person, with his fame and fortune; as well as his very advanced old age and blindness handicap, would the sentence have been the same? Would the judge have denied his plea to be left on bail pending appeal? Would the judge have considered house arrest for him, instead of sending such a fragile blind old man straight from court to prison. These questions will soon, possibly be answered as the world excitedly awaits the Harvey Weinstein's trial outcome.
ICHEOKU says the beauty of the American society is that no one is above the law or is too big to jail, regardless. But will Cosby die in prison? ICHEOKU does not think so because he might be released within one year for good behavior and age and handicap. What a sad way to end a storied career that spanned several decades and suddenly this thunderous fall from grace to grass. SAD.
