Subject: Bill Cosby's sentence... What say you? I think it was the right sentence. The idea of prison is to protect society from future illegal activity and, to a degree, provide a punitive component.(although the first is the FAR greater consideration IMO) I think the judge got it right. First, the prosecution was asking for 5-10, so 3-10 is very close. Second, it's not likely an 81 year old man is still a threat to society like he was when he was committing these crimes. Last, he will, punitively, likely spend most of the last, if not THE last, days of his life in prison. It's a damn shame to see someone fall so far......but it's the price to be paid for the pain he inflicted. Justice is served. Edited by Left Brain 2018-09-26 1:09 AM
