The Bill Cosby verdict came in, and I am happy, and even relieved, that it was guilty. The hung jury last time was bad, but a not guilty verdict would have felt like nothing has changed in this world.
As I read about the trial, I wondered if Cosby thought that he could get away with it. That he would never be caught. I believe that he didn’t view women as equals or even as human beings, but at the same time he knew what he was doing was wrong. I wonder if he thought that he could run out the clock? I wonder if he thought that other men had done this, and died, and no one was the wiser. He must not have any remorse for what he has done, and living without a conscience is unfathomable to me.
Which also brings me to the Golden State Killer, who was captured this week. There are a couple of different thoughts that I have on this, the first one being, like Cosby, did he think he was going to get away with it? He was old, his 70’s I think, and that point in his life, was the thought that he wasn’t going to get caught crossing his mind. Also, why did he stop in 1986? What little I know about serial killers, it’s a compulsion they cannot control. What made him stop?
These are question that might never be answered.
