You may know him as Cliff Huxtable the father of five or even as Lil Bill, but now Bill Cosby is relevant for a different reason. In the past few years Bill Cosby has been known for his many rape allegations. And although some were reported as false, many were proven to have happened and him admitting to giving some girls pill did not make anything better. Today, Bill Cosby has been sentenced to three to ten years in state prison. Being the age of 81 there is a very high chance that he may die of old age before being released.
The part of the case that does not make sense is that the psychologist at his case claims Bill Cosby has a personality disorder. Often times when convicts reportedly have a mental they are sentenced to a mental institute rather than Bill Cosby. If this is the case Bill Cosby should not be treated any differently. This is a good example of 'If I let one person do it, I have to let everyone do it'. I do feel that what Cosby did was wrong but I also think that he needs to receive the same sentencing that others before him have received.
It's very unfortunate that Bill Cosby was found guilty for the harsh things he was accused of. Being someone who watched the Cosby Show as a child, this was disappointing. I do agree that if he did do what he was found guilty of, then he needs to serve the appropriate amount of time. There shouldn't be any special treatment for him because of who he was in the free world. I will say that other entertainers That aren't minorities deserve the same amount of time as Cosby.
