Judge Tosses Out Defamation Suit Against Bill Cosby

[HAPPY2BME]

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A federal judge in Massachusetts has dismissed a civil defamation lawsuit against comedian Bill Cosby.

Judge Mark Mastroianni ruled Thursday that Katherine McKee had not adequately shown Cosby defamed her when his representatives called a 2014 New York Daily News story on her allegations defamatory and demanded a retraction.

The former actress alleged the 79-year-old Cosby raped her in a Detroit hotel room in 1974.

McKee was among dozens of women to come forward in recent years and among at least eight suing for defamation in Massachusetts, where Cosby owns a home.

Cosby’s lawyers called Thursday’s decision the “correct outcome.” McKee’s attorneys didn’t immediately comment.

“The Cosby Show” star still faces criminal charges in Pennsylvania. He’s pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting a former employee at Temple University, his alma mater.

By the time this even gets to trial both Cosby and his accusers will be dead.

There is so much junk in this whole thing -- first and foremost how much time has passed -- that nothing is going to come of it.

If Cosby had been white, not famous, not an actor, not a celebrity, not a liberal darling role model, WOULD HE HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT?
