Camille Cosby is standing up for her husband of 54 years, Bill Cosby, and the bombshells she’s just dropped has many giving the outcome of his trial the side eye. Mrs. Cosby’s claims and findings have led to her demanding justice, a retrial, and a recusal of the judge who presided over Cosby’s sexual assault trial. All of this is going down as Cosby awaits up to 10 years in prison sentencing after being convicted of three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault. By the way…Camille is pissed the hell off and didn’t mince her words one bit when revealing this latest info.
Camille Cosby Exposes Reported Wrongdoings By Judge…It Had Nothing To Do With Bill
In an interview with The Blast, Camille Cosby revealed that the reason Bill lost his case actually had nothing to do with him, but rather, everything to do with the long standing beef between the former Pennsylvania D.A. and the presiding judge in Cosby’s trial:
Via The Blast: Camille tells The Blast, “Bill Cosby was not afforded an impartial judge and he did not receive a fair trial.” She’s referring to Bill appearing before Judge Steven T. O’Neill, who Camille claims “had a bitter, longstanding feud with one of the key witnesses in the case.”
Bruce Castor, the former D.A. in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, testified under oath that in 2006 he made a decision not to prosecute the comedian on charges of sexual assault because he felt the case was weak.
Camille claims Judge O’Neill “refused to believe the sworn testimony” of Castor because back in 1999 the two actually ran bitter campaigns against each other to become District Attorney, and O’Neill lost hard.
But there’s more….
Judge Pissed After Affair With Assistant Was Exposed?
The details Camille provided behind the beef are hella suspect on the judge’s part. She says that the reason Judge O’Neil is REALLY pissed with former D.A. Castor, is because during their campaigning for the district attorney spot, O’Neil was separated from his wife at that time. However, Castor found out that O’Neil was also romantically involved with his female assistant and therefore, invited said assistant to one of their campaign debates in efforts to out O’Neil.
It worked and according to The Blast, Camille says O’Neil was not only upset that he lost the race to Castor, but he was “embarrassed” by Castor outing his affair and has had it out for him ever since. Thus, the outcome of Cosby’s trial, which Castor had previously tossed out, due to lack of sufficient evidence in Andrea Constand’s claims:
Via TB- Camille claims the move “embarrassed” Judge O’Neill and caused him to perform “poorly” at the debate and ultimately withdraw from the race.
Camille claims that beef between the two political figures from years prior caused O’Neill to shoot down his petition to dismiss the case against Cosby. She says the public, and Cosby, were entitled to know about “Judge O’Neil’s bias” before the rulings were made and that the “Judge let his own personal feelings override Mr. Cosby’s right to a fair trial.”
Judge O’Neil is also the same judge, who at the time of Cosby vs. Constand’s first trial, was reportedly agitated when the jury was hung for the same reason- lack of sufficient evidence from Ms. Constand’s testimony and claims. However, in an odd move, Judge O’Neil demanded that they go back into deliberation and come up with a verdict, which they did…and still came out with a hung jury verdict yet again – for the same reasons.
Heres what both Camille and Bill’s legal team are now demanding:
[Camille] now wants the judge to provide a full accounting of his issues and alleged bias with Bruce Castor, and also for him to “correct the horrible injustice done to Mr. Cosby and to our system of justice.”
Along with his wife’s harsh comments, Cosby’s legal team also filed documents to reconsider the recusal of Judge O’Neill.
