Back in July before the Hollywood meltdown entered a 3rd wave, Bill Cosby's rape trial resulted in a mistrial. A mistrial is not a win for the defense. It completely leaves the prosecutor open to a retrial, and this time with the benefit of having learned from the first trial what did and did not resonate with the Jury the last time.
While Cosby walked out of the courtroom smiling I suspect that his Fat Albert grin will be wiped off his face because his retrial comes in the current month of November when the news is unmasking a new sex perp every day who has a string of witnesses coming forth to share their stories. What jury members have not heard this? How can it not affect them to see so many big H-Wood names going down in flames so spectacularly? Cosby cannot get a fair trial anymore and certainly not now that a 3rd wave is unfolding. His lawyer should be screaming bloody murder to the press about it and trying to wait until this 3rd wave is over to have the retrial. I'm not saying I think he's innocent. He should have been convicted back in July. But his chances of escaping this now are near zero IMO.
