As it happened, the inmates had no problem with him in spite of the nature of his crimes and the fact that he sent his illegitimate daughter to prison years earlier.
Now he's free. Time goes by faster as you get older. I'm not nearly as old as he is and I was surprised it's been two years. He probably feels like he just got there.
The prosecutor in his case publicly announced that weren't going to charge him so he couldn't invoke his fifth amendment rights when he testified in a deposition in a lawsuit against him. Then prosecutors charged him with Aggravated Indecent Assault anyway and used that testimony against him. That's why his conviction was overturned.
He was sentenced to three-to-ten years, so he served most of the minimum sentence.
That "America's Dad" thing was already rather perverse. Is that what people want in a father? His TV show triggered a wave of discipline-oriented family sit-coms including the one that made Kirk Cameron a star. If Cameron's maskless Christmas caroling "protests" had become super-spreader events, Cosby would have been indirectly responsible.
Well, if I were Cosby's neighbor and his wife was out watering the plants and she enthused that Bill was coming home, I would just smile and nod. No point in telling her that her husband's a monster who was right where he belonged.
I assume she's happy. Who knows. I can't imagine that a dangerous sexual predator is a perfectly pleasant person otherwise. She's had a taste of freedom for the last two years. She never even visited him in prison. She may decide to dump him.
A thing he tweeted. He thinks he still has fans and supporters.
