That's why happens when you have media trials and have Judges like Binta Nyako.

The same way everyone is screaming blue black over Chidinma and pulling stunt with stories

That is a tragedy of Nigeria legal systems, the media and police forcing her to confess to a crime that could hang her. Where was her right to have a lawyer before police interrogation?

I heard a lawyer was already working with her THEN I saw vanguard saying she was seeing the dead dude at night and wondered how they got close enough to interview her or they were just increasing views on their site

There was never any evidence against him. This jury people just decide cases based on emotions, I don't know where the US got this there useless trial by jury method. Many innocent people are languishing in jail just because members of jury that know nothing about the law decided to find them guilty based on emotional sentiments.

That u r found not guilty does not mean you did not do it.
Here's what one if his 60 (sixty!) accusers said after his conviction:

"I am overwhelmed with joy, relief and gratitude," Baker-Kinney wrote in a statement posted to Twitter following the verdict. "This may be the end for Mr. Cosby, but this victory is just the beginning for many of us, to fight for justice, to do the right thing and support every person who has ever been shamed and humiliated and blamed."

He was never guilty and should never have been prosecuted. His major crime was that he was a very rich black man who wanted to buy a major network NBC and the devils had to cut him down to size.

After baba had spent over two years in prison, they now said no evidence against him.
Baba that should be enjoying his retirement in peace is now made to eat beans in gaol.

Good one..

Court does not use emotions or sympathy..
It's a well documented fact that there's an extreme gender bias in federal criminal court cases in USA. Males get more incarcerated far more than females when the same crime is committed by both.

Bill Cosby isn't set free because he's not guilty of the offense. He's set free on technicality. The prosecution ran foul of the law and the defense is taking advantage of that. Let's always get our facts right before we comment.

Although more than 60 women charged that they had been victims of sexual assault by Cosby, he was tried criminally only for Constand's assault, since the statute of limitations had expired in the other cases.

Hmmm, ok. He’s done some time at least.

This is great news.
It's weird to see the man that brought laughter to so many faces being drained of his joy and freedom by false allegations by the powers that be, fuelled by the outcry of ignorant feminists riding on the #Metoo movement who are more anti-men then humanists.

I sincerely hope he gets his freedom.

For what? They are not saying he didn't do it bt case lacks enough evidence. Struck out basically. 2 years for such a case doesn't really deserve a compensation besides ur freedom.

Jury trial is not imposed on anyone in the US.

The Defendant must consciously choose either a Jury trial or a trial by a Judge.

Most defendants opt for a Jury trial because their chances of not getting convicted increases in a Jury trial since all 11 Juries must vote to convict before they can be found guilty....if just one Jury vote differently, the defendant wouldn’t be convicted....so defense lawyers targets to convince just one or a few Judy.

Alternatively, with a trial by a Judge, you only have one chance.

Finally, the Appeal Court did not consider the merit of the case before over turning, they merely stated that due to prior agreements between Mr. Cosby and the Prosecutor who first handled the case, he should not have been charged, there the conviction would have still been over turned had it been it was a trial by a Judge.
