Through his spokesperson Andrew Wyatt, Bill Cosby released a statement on Harvey Weinstein's guilty verdict. On his Instagram account, Cosby said, “Here’s the question that should haunt all Americans, especially wealthy and famous men. Where do we go in this country to find fairness and impartiality in the judicial system; and where do we go in this country to find Due Process?”
He continued, “If the #metoo movement isn’t just about Becky White women, I would challenge #metoo and ask them to go back 400+ years and tarnish the names of those oppressors that raped slaves. This is a very sad day in the American Judicial System.”
He added, “This is not shocking because these jurors were not sequestered, which gave them access to media coverage and the sentiments of public opinion. There’s no way you would have anyone believe that Mr. Weinstein was going to receive a fair and impartial trial.”
Cosby was convicted in 2018 and is currently serving three to 10 years for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004. Wyatt said that Cosby repeatedly called him Monday outraged over Weinstein’s conviction. Weinstein faces up to 29 years in prison when he’s sentenced March 11th.
