Man, its a very similar feeling to the OJ Simpson trial. You know how they say that when it comes to the justice system, "it's not what you know it's what you can prove in court"? Though I understand the concept intellectually, it's still supremely frustrating when you just know in your heart of hearts that the individual is guilty;
I am sorry but
if you cannot show it, then you do not know it. If you ever state that you 'know' someone is guilty, that should only be due to evidence, the 'feelings' of anyone are irrelevant. Unless you want the US to revert back to the 17th century - where someone could be condemned and hanged on the testimony of spirits appearing in a dream - then this entire talking point is 'mic drop' with the line:
"
The evidence that can send a human being to death ... better be THAT accurate."

yet the system deems it unworthy to go ahead and actually convict due to some "technicality".
Deems feelings unworthy of placing legal stock in? Definitely.
In general no one should ever be convicted unless there is "
an overwhelming preponderance of evidence, exclusively proven this one probability over any other." In this case, where there is no debate on the guilt, there is no justification for the courts letting their own legal ramblings screw themselves out of legal standing. It should be rather embarrassing for them.

It honestly has me questioning and doubting everything.
What I question is how someone can put a price tag on their own self worth. Considering this case does not regard something seen on a Judge Judy but r - who admitted to the charges, so there is NO ambiguity - then there is no fucking way the crime should have seen civil action. You pursue a civil suit when someone rear ends your car, not when they rear end you.

I was listening to a podcast recently (slightly right-wing), and one of the hosts said something like, "look, Cosby is most likely guilty and all, but if you love America you would accept this decision because it's fair." ...I honestly wanted to break that host's face...
Well then that host was just dumb. First; Cosby admitted to the wrongdoing, there is no likelihood of his guilt. Second; Being nationalistic is irrelevant to the situation and only ignorance would have that enter the dialogue. Third; there is nothing fair in this issue, at all.
