    This is really the way he’s going to protect his legacy? Who is giving this man legal advice? Take your LUMPS, creepy old man. Take them with some fucking grace, you aged shitheel. Allow your victims some small measure of peace; pay the price for the terrible decisions authorized by your fame-addled brain and enacted by your sleazy penis and your roofie-dropping fingers.

      Looking at him reminds me of the old Nazis who were prosecuted.

      His legacy is already ruined. I assume at this point, he is just trying to avoid passing in jail. This doesn’t seem like the worst (legal) move.

      That’s what I was thinking, but I hate the idea of him getting money for this.

      Agreed. But if she did in fact break the terms of her civil settlement, there’s probably not much any lawyer or judge can do to prevent Cosby from recouping his hush-money. Though, I doubt he’ll get back the interest and they’ll probably throw out the case against the third parties that Constand spoke to considering they weren’t part of any agreement.

    It’s an interesting legal question. I’m no lawyer (and I don’t play on on tv or the Internet) but...

    If I sign a confidentiality agreement in return for money, let’s say the person assaulted me, and a year later police want to question me about it (because someone else told them about it in connection with another investigation against that person), and I refuse to answer any questions...couldn't I be arrested for obstruction of justice?

      Caveat: I’m not a lawyer...

      If you aren’t pressing charges against the person who previously assaulted you, the police should not be able to force you to answer their questions. Also, you’re not under oath and have a right to counsel, who can advise you not to answer. Also, they can only hold you for so long unless they come up with a legitimate charge. So if you refuse to talk, at some point, they have to let you go. Besides, if they’re asking you b/c they specifically suspect you were a victim, it seems counter-intuitive to then arrest you like you’re a criminal.

      I’m not sure where the line for “obstruction of justice” would fall, though. That seems like one of those secondary charges that gets thrown on the pile. Or when a court order is ignored.

      I’m curious what someone who actually knows what they’re talking about has to say.

      The linked article says the confidentiality agreement contains a provision allowing Constand to speak to law enforcement about Cosby assaulting her in Pennsylvania in 2004, but he’s arguing that now that she lives in Canada she didn’t have to cooperate when PA authorities re-opened their investigation, so her cooperation was voluntary and violated the agreement.

    “Just when we thought Cosby couldn’t sink any lower, he surprises us!”

    Don’t include me in that “we”! I fully expect he’ll continue to stoop lower until his dying breath.

      Yep. It is a common tactic for rich people to sue and use legal action or the threat of it to intimidate people who can’t afford lawyers. Combine that with the morals of a serial rapist, and I doubt anything he does could surprise me. At this point, I fully suspect that the has a lamp made from human skin somewhere in his house.

    Oh, for Pete’s sake!

    By the time Cosby’s goes through the legal system, or dies (more likely the latter), there will be enough material for multiple casebooks and multiple law school courses on his tactics. What would be a clever name for the class? Cosby’s Contrivances? The Cosby Slow? I don’t know, I’m clearly too angry to be on my game.

      That proves how evil he is. He won’t even look at himself.. his first reaction is to attack and try to ruin anyone who helped him get caught for things he knows he is guilty of.

      he’s doing what any rich defendant does when their back is against the wall- out spend them and bury them with paper work. his legacy is done. he knows that. but he still has his assets to protect and he wants to avoid jail time, so his lawyers are going to try and wear them victims (and their lawyers) out

        I can't comprehend how a confidentiality agreement which prohibits you from talking to law enforcement could possibly be legal.

        And if it were, briefly legal, I don’t see how its legality could survive in a post-9/11 world where law enforcement posits a right to nigh-unlimited electronic surveillance in its pursuit of law-breakers.
