In 2018, the media declared a massive victory when Bill Cosby was sentenced to prison. But what did the headlines leave out?
In this episode of Dismantle the Media, we bypass the media circus and open the actual case file. We break down the timeline, the 2005 non-prosecution agreement with District Attorney Bruce Castor, and the blatant violation of Cosby’s 5th Amendment rights that ultimately forced the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to vacate his conviction in 2021. Why did the press ignore the glaring procedural and constitutional violations in favor of sensationalism?
Join us as we examine the facts, the courtroom reality, and the dangerous precedent of trial by media.
