Remember the scene in Shawshank Redemption when Red, played by Morgan Freeman, goes to his parole meeting with zero care for the process and how he comes off?
This is how Bill Cosby plans to attack his parole meeting after what he feels was an unfair set of circumstances which sent him to prison.
Bill Cosby is set to serve between 3-10 years for sexual assault charges. He broke his silence for the first time since his September 2018 conviction from his maximum-security Pennsylvania penitentiary. In am interview conducted by BlackPressUSA.com Cosby maintained his innocence and labeled his trial a farce. He also details why his new home in prison is rather luxurious.
“I have eight years and nine months left,” Cosby said. “When I come up for parole, they’re not going to hear me say that I have remorse. I was there. I don’t care what group of people come along and talk about this when they weren’t there. They don’t know.” Cosby claimed in the interview the trial was a sham and unfair. “It’s all a setup. That whole jury thing. They were imposters,” he stated.
“Look at the woman who blew the whistle,” he said, referencing a report of woman overhearing a juror state, “he’s guilty, we can all go home now. Then she went in and came out smiling, it’s something attorneys will tell you is called a payoff,” Cosby said.
But, Cosby admitted he is a “privileged man in prison,” and during the phone call described his cell in the prison as “my penthouse.”
Cosby, 82 years of age, has resided in the general population with prisoners due to his age and being legally blind.
