Now a convicted felon. Seven women and five men found him guilty on all three felony accounts. This rendering this guilty verdict big, big shock to many people out here. He now faces up to 30 years in prison. Bill cosby left a courtroom defiantly with his fist up in the air. It was almost as though he was acquitted. We have seen this before. Inside the courtroom it was a completely different story. Bill cosby set stoically as the verdict of guilty was read by the jury. The accuse every sat there also stoically but then it all changed in a remarkable moment with bill cosby lashed out inside the courtroom. Calling the District Attorney an a hole for trying to revoke his bail saying cosby has the ability and means to leave. They took away his passport and they, in fact, kept his bail. A remarkable moment inside that courtroom meantime andrea does stand accused bill cosby of sexually assaulting her at his home in 2004. This case came down to the issue of consent. Did the jury believe Andrea Constand or did they believe bill cosby. There wasnt a lot of physical evidence in this case but the case was mainly about andrea saying that bill cosby gave her three blue pills and sexually assaulted her. The jury, obviously with this guilty verdict, believing andrea that she did not give cosby consent after two trials and 14 years since this happened in 2004, the d. A. Praised her courage. We have shown from our record that money and power are who you are, will not stop us from a criminal investigation for prosecuting a case. What was revealed through this investigation was a man who had spent decades preying on women that he had drugged and sexually assaulted. Now, last summer this case ended in a mistrial, a hung jury. But, in this retrial, a big, big difference for the prosecution was the judge allowing the testimony of five other accusers who had accused bill cosby over the years. This helped the prosecution set up set cosby up to show he had a pattern of behavior. Well, cosbys defense attorney tom mezero spoke after and said they vow to appeal. We are very disappointed by the verdict we dont think mr. Cosby is guilty of anything and the fight is not over. Are you going to appeal, sir . Yes. Yes, very strongly. A sentencing hearing still needs to be set in terms of the date. Again, he faces a maximum of 30 years in prison. He likely will not get that 30 years. But he will likely spend the rest of his days in prison. The comic legend 80 years old now a convicted felon. Dana . Dana all right, brian. Thank you solve. Kimberly guilfoyle has tried these type of acases. The real determining factor was this idea of the other crimes evidence and allowing other people to come in and talk about it. Yeah, and prosecutors and we use that kind of evidence in cases called prior bad acts. Sort of like the colloquial terminology evidence of other people coming forward to say that the defendant acted in a way similar with them in terms of like modus operandi ran day the way they behave. In terms of bill cosby in this case they had to look for other evidence of victims and witnesses to come forward be very similar in nature to this particular case and with this victim alleged happened to her which is pattern and practice of drugging for the purposes of committing a Sexual Assault. And in this case, it was alleged that benadryl was used to try to put her out under and makes it very difficult. Because, when you are in a case like this and somebody does this and you prey on another individual, you use Something Like that because they wont be able to really recall, recollect, or be able to testify against you or perhaps even identify when you hear of cases saying like roofy in columbus, et cetera. Particularly heinous because you are picking on a vulnerable victim to do that in the hopes that they wont be able to identify you and in the hopes you will be able to do it again so you can prey on more victims. One of the things in this case, bill cosby will be identified and assessed as a sexual predator. They will do an assessment and present that to the judge at the time. So all those other pieces of evidence and information that came forward they will put that forward to determine whether he should be categorized and whether he should register as a sex offender. Dana at 80 years old. Dana other question for you and take it around the table. When his lawyers say theyre definitely going to appeal, do you think that they would try to appeal on the grounds about this judge and his discretion of allowing this evidence in . Yes. Because you have a big pretrial, a hearing and you brief the matter to say this is who we want to bring in they tried to bring in 14 women to come forward. The judge said i will allow these because they are probative versus too prejudicial to the defendant. Because you really have to balance that its really ripe for appeal for someone to bring that forward. This has been something that as prosecutors i have done as prosecuting Sexual Assault cases. Really fought hard to get this to be evidence on the books because it is so compelling. And in a case like this where you didnt have d. N. A. Or didnt have a percipient eyewitness there to say what happened to her its her word against his. Thats why the other evidence is compelling to say wait a second, someone is willing to take a stand and take an oath and tell you same type of thing happened to them. Some of these women were precluded from having justice in their individual case because the statute of limitations has run. They were still there to tell the truth crossexamination. That will be the linchpin of hezbollaher rows appeal which two years to come to light. Dana remind everyone he is not going to jail that couple of weeks. No. He is out on bail now. Pretty much the house, took away his passport. Because they say he can be a flight risk. When you think of polanski or Harvey Weinstein someone with means and recourse that can charter a private jet and take off and never be heard from again. The judge made sure that wasnt going to happen in this case. Dana juan turn to you for a comment or a question from kimberly. Cosby is someone i know pretty well. And, you know, to me, cosb does cosbys guilt less in question because is he someone who nitted that he was buying quaaludes, now an illegal drug for the purpose of partying. And to give them to women. And then the question was whether whether or not that kind of thing would be allowed and it was allowed in both trials that were heard. The difference in this one as kimberly was saying is you had the additional testimony that created for the jury the impression of a pattern of abusive behavior. And i think that whereas there was an attempt to undermine Andrea Constand, the principle person here charging cosby as someone who was a con artist in the words plaintiff cosbys defense attorney. Who was simply trying to make money off a very rich, famous man. Here came people who said, you know what . I was hoping that he was going to be a fatherfigure. That he was going to help me with my career. Did i not understand that this was what he was after. And, impossibly, one of the most chilling moments from the trial, there was a young woman who was 17 at the time. Her name was chillan lash shah. She says in open court you remember me, dont you, mr. Cosby. It was like oh my god. She was 17 at the time. And shear she is now staring him in the face and saying it. Thats pretty compelling if you are sitting there as a juror and say, you know, what is she getting out of this . She is no con artist. Remember, in addition, cosby had paid 3 million to constand in a civil case. So, to some extent he had admitted some culpability on that level. I just want to close on this thought, dana, he was americas dad as you said in the opening. The reason that i know him so well is i was writing a book about the fact that he was saying to the black community hey, you know what . There are different ways to look at social progress and whats going on in our community. Why arent we taking a stand against drug dealers and Say Something about Holding Black families together. Why dont we Say Something about our responsibility in terms of high rates of Violent Crime . And it was so interesting that the judge in the first case, maybe before the first case said im going to allow in all this evidence about cosby because he think he is such a moralist. Select temperaturing other people. If he said in deposition he was buying quaaludes, let it be public for the big moralist. It came back to bite him big time. Dana greg, i dont know if you had a question for kimberly or wanted to talk about anything in particular. Greg i guess everybody has kind of covered the angles that you would expect. If i hear the phrase americas dad again, you know remember these are fictitious characters. Real people play those roles and sometimes they are not good people. Ealways kind of go well we are so surprised. If you look around in history and look at a lot of entertainers. A lot of them do play wholesome characters. Jimmy in england a big entertainer of children and turned out he was disgusting molester. I have a side question that im just curious. What happens to the cosby show . Something that was probably one of the most successful shows ever in syndication. You know, its like when you watch the naked gun and oj is in it, you cant really watch it the way you used to you watch it when you watch the cosby show when you are looking at it, it changes the way you look at something. I wonder if thats just a show that kind of just goes away. Dana said in my ear one station already cancelled it. Im not wild, jesse, about taking jury verdicts as political statements because i think jury verdicts are based on evidence of a crime. But, its sort of inevitable today that thats what happened. Jesse if you look at it in the con teskts me too movement. Greg has talked about the stratosphere of guilt. Very clear bill cosby is on the far end of stratosphere is he in the Harvey Weinstein situation because as you said the predatory type behavior, the quaaludes and mixing the quaaludes with alcohol in a grooming process over a pattern over the course of since the 160s, actually still pending a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles County at the playboy mansion where he allegedly molested a teenage girl there at the playboy mansion. So thats still pending. So, you know, he is looking at a pretty tough next couple years. When you see someone as a kid its bewilders because i grew up with cosby and talented people with dark sides. You dont know how to rec reconcile that this guy deserves it. Starts with fat albert and then mr. Huxtable. At one point he was making 4 million an episode with the cosby show. Huge crossover appeal racially, commercial appeal. He had the pudding, coca cola. A lot of endorsement deals. At one point he was worth 400 million. And when Hannibal Burris the comic did a little standup routine in philadelphia and joked he was a rapist, it all came crashing down. At one point i think almost 60 women came forward since the 1960s and said he did something to them. And have you tv land pull this syndication deal. You had ntsb pull out of their deal. And the money dried up, the tour dates collapsed. And now he is probably going to rot in jail or die in jail. Its just a sad ending to the legacy but at the same time, you just really want to pour your heart out to all the women who were victims of this man. And i guess they had their day in court and justice was served. Dana kimberly, they wanted me to ask you what you could expect at sentencing hearing. Kimberly at the sentencing hearing they will do the assessment of mr. Cosby and do a deep dive into his background, socio, psychologic assessment. Hear from victim impact statements about what they did to him and similar to the gymnastics cares of dr. Larry nassar and Going Forward with that that we saw the women come forward like haley one of the women did i an event with was one of the women who testified. He should have to pay not just like for the crimes that he committed but for the cost of the prosecution and he made light of the 3. 5 million is nothing. So the prosecution in this case is going to be asking for the defendant to reimburse the state for the price of prosecuting this case which was quite extensive. Dana all right.

Dr. Ronny jackson withdrew from consideration this morning. He maintains the allegations against his character are fabricated but says they have become a distraction so he will no longer pursue the position. President trump eviscerated democrats for taking down his pick. This is an admiral highly respected, a real leader and i watched what jon tester of montana, a state that i won by like over 20 points, you know, really they love me and i love themment tell that you jon tester, i think this is going to cause him a lot of problems in this state. These are all false accusations. These are false. They are trying to destroy a man. By the way, did i say welcome to washington. Welcome to the swamp. Welcome to the world of politics. But, for jon tessitore start bringing up stuff like candy man and the kind of things he was saying and then say well, you know, these are just statements that are made there is no proof of this. He has a perfect record. He has this beautiful record. Unblemished. I dont think people in montana, the admiral is the kind of person that they respect and admire. And they dont like seeing whats happened to them. The president also sounding off about the obstruction of many of his no, maam niece. They are very upset because mike pompeo who was, again, first in his class at west point. Top at his class at harvard law school. A brilliant guy, a great guy and somebody i get along with very well. Mike got through and they thought he had him stopped. The democrats are obstructionists. Its horrible what they are doing. Its a disgrace. In fact they had a report the other day that at this rate it will be nine years before they are allowed to come into government. So you have people that have given up everything. They have given up their jobs, top line people, brilliant people. They want to come in and help us in government. And Chuck Schumer and the group take, you know, years to approve them. Years. Jesse so, juan, does the president have a point when he says that these are unnamed, unsourced allegations a lot of them are criminal some of these allegations, they are blind and kind of nasty and this was able to derail a nomination. Do you think thats fair . Juan i think its fair that people can come forward and trust their elected representatives the senators to tell them whats going on. What we know from senator tester these were mostly military people coming forward with the complaints. So i dont know how political. There is lots of Politics Around the Veterans Administration at this moment what we can see right now is blinding fact is not obstruction but the lack of experience and qualifications for dr. Jackson. Kimberly what . Juan he had no experience managing a large bureaucracy. He had no experience with the Veterans Administration. And there is questions about the amount of vetting that he went through by the Trump White House before the nomination was made based on the fact that trump got along. Jesse a lot of quawsmed people running big at the v. A. Before. It has not performed up to task, kimberly. What do you think about the president s use of obstruction . It sounds like its been pole tested and i believe he thinks that word works well. Kimberly he poll tested it himself. They are acting like obstructionists. They are really only hurting the fine men and women who serve in the military and veterans that come back that really want to get some quality medical care and healthcare and they want somebody that they can yes, look up to and be able to make sure that they can get the services they need if the bureaucrats and people with managerial experience had done such fine job before, why is the v. A. In such shamables . Perhaps it was right to take a first look at somebody who was
