Examples of Cosby in a Sentence

1. Dan Gainor:

   Media Research Center's easy to forget now, but Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier were among the first black actors who gained widespread acceptance, to many, he's still Alexander Scott from ‘ I Spy ’, Dr. Cliff Huxtable or the voice of Fat Albert. These charges will follow him to the grave, but that doesn't mean people won't watch him.

2. Camille Cosby:

   This is mob justice, not real justice, this tragedy must be undone not just for Bill Cosby, but for the country.

3. Neama Rahmani:

   During the depositions, Cosby gives very incriminating and damaging statements. Then, there's a new DA and that person decides to prosecute the case, after the new DA takes over and during the prosecution, the DA uses those very damaging statements that Cosby made during his civil deposition… so what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court essentially said was, 'Look, you can't do this.' Even though there was no formal immunity, Cosby reasonably relied on that statement declining prosecution when he gave his deposition in the civil case, which is why he was so open.

4. Hannibal Buress:

   He gets on TV, 'Pull your pants up black people, I was on TV in the 80s! I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom!' yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so turn the crazy down a couple notches.

5. Andrea Constand:

   Today’s majority decision regarding Bill Cosby is not only disappointing but of concern in that it may discourage those who seek justice for sexual assault in the criminal justice system from reporting or participating in the prosecution of the assailant or may force a victim to choose between filing either a criminal or civil action.
