Having been sentence to up to a decade behind bars in Pennsylvania last year for the assault against former Temple University employee Constand, Cosby has been on a near constant tirade from state prison against his sentence, the judge in the case, the five “bad prior acts” witnesses such as Dickinson and virtually everything else as he attempts to recast himself as a political prisoner. Motions and proclamations to be let out and to get a new trial have fallen on deaf ears so far.
Thankfully, Lisa Bloom has brought justice into my life by her tireless dogged persistence fighting for my life. Almost five years ago I watched Janice Dickinson tell her story on TV that Bill Cosby had drugged and raped her in 1982. Her story was so real and raw and heartbreaking. I had never met Janice but I wanted to help her. Having represented sexual assault victims for decades, I knew what Bill Cosby had on his side: the statute of limitations, those legal filing deadlines that are every predator’s get out of jail free card.
I hoped Janice would call me. She did call me. I was delighted that I might be able to deliver justice to her. Bill Cosby had a revolving cast of Big Law law firms fighting us every step of the way, filing motions and appeals, one after the other, hoping to bury us, hoping to exhaust us, hoping we’d give up in defeat.
