Cosby’s wife lashes out at judge, prosecutors in statement

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER VIA AP

Camille Cosby, left, exited the courtroom during a lunch break on Monday.

Excerpt from statement by Bill Cosby’s wife, Camille, assailing the district attorney, the judge and attorneys for women who accused her husband of molesting them, following the declaration today of a mistrial in the entertainer’s sex assault case in suburban Philadelphia. It was read by a publicist.

How do I describe the district attorney? Heinously and exploitively ambitious.

How do I describe the judge? Overtly arrogant, collaborating with the district attorney.

How do I describe the counsels for the accusers? Totally unethical.

How do I describe many, but not all, general media? Blatantly vicious entities that continually disseminated intentional omissions of truth for the primary purpose of greedily selling sensationalism at the expense of a human life.

Historically people have challenged injustices. I am grateful to any of the jurors who tenaciously fought to review the evidence which is the rightful way to make a sound decision. Ultimately that is a manifestation of justice based on facts, not lies.

As a very special friend once stated, truth can be subdued but not denied.
