​Bill Cosby's Lawyer Would Like You to Just Focus on Cosby's Recent Work

Yesterday, on NPR, when asked to give any sort of comment regarding the slew of sexual assault accusations by several women, Bill Cosby sat and shook his head, not saying a word about the situation. Today, his lawyer released a statement, saying Cosby will not “dignify” the “‘decade-old, discredited'” claims.

I’m assuming that by “discredited,” he means “settled in a civil suit,” which is exactly what Cosby did in 2006 over another alleged assault. Via AP:

In a statement released to The Associated Press and posted online, lawyer John P. Schmitt said the fact that the allegations are being repeated “does not make them true.”

“He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work,” Schmitt said.

Goddamn, even his lawyer can’t outright deny the validity of these allegations. They’re not even trying.
