after the story about the one lady coming forward that she made it all up to help sell her book, i figured the case would swing the other way to innocent.

Thats a civil case which is not based on reasonable doubt but a balance of probabilities. It would be reasonable to settle outside of court if you thought that despite your innocence you would still lose.
The deposition I mentioned earlier and you mentioned later is far more damning than him settling outside of court.
Sure, but, in general...appeals happen with the convicted person being in prison. His legal team might be able to arrange for some kind of house arrest while he's awaiting his appeal...but that will have to be ruled upon by a judge.

I'd rather spend 4 million to prove my innocence than 3.4 to be seen as guilty.

Am I wrong that there is no actual evidence? Was he just convicted because of testimonials?
Do you want a picture of him with his dick in a sleeping woman and a copy of the day's paper? Testimony IS evidence weighed by a jury. Cosby and his lawyer had their chance to cross examine testimony against him and provide his own. He admitted to stocking up on drugs to give to women he was trying to "sleep with". Fuck off with this rape apologism. He did it, fuck him.
They are not defending him. They are just arguing that his actions doesn't invalidate his entire life, that even though he turned out to be a criminal, parts of his life can still have a positive impact on society.
If a person goes around spreading a message of peace on earth, but it later turns out he's a murderer, his message about peace on earth is still a good message that peoples should listen to.

If you had bothered reading the entire thread, you would see where we have discussed the fact that Cosby admitted using drugs to have sex with women.

It does not mean we should keep paying him for his message, which is what happens each time a show he was in airs.
You think you should listen to what people say instead of watching what they do? Fuck no. I don't let murderers or conmen tell me how best to live my life and neither should you. Maybe find some rolemodels who actually keep their word and live with real integrity and not just the appearance of it.
I'll fuck off with my innocent until proven guilty, I spose.

Thank you for telling me in one sentence what I refused to read 235 posts to figure out.

I don't see any logical thought or evidence from your post, so no, I will not just accept what you tell me with no evidence as proof.
I dont care to go over the details of the case now that all is said and done but I do recall one story. The question wasnt weather he drugged and at least sexually touched her, the question was how much consent and responsibility she had for what he did. Something along the lines that she was a willing participant or some shit.
The man clearly thought time was on his side.
