The former comedian, 81, now serving out a three to 10 year prison sentence for sexual assault in SCI Phoenix in Montgomery County, passed on the statement to the public through his spokesperson, Andrew Wyatt.
"My political beliefs, my actions of trying to humanize all races, genders and religions landed me in this place surrounded by barb wire fencing, a room made of steel and iron," he said, referring to his career as a comedian. He went on to compare his imprisonment to that of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela.
Cosby was accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, but the years-long court battle related to his assault of Andrea Constand in his Cheltenham home led to his prosecution in 2018, and marked the first successful criminal charges brought against him.
In the statement, Cosby said he had "no remorse" because there was a miscarriage of justice. He referenced his out of court settlement with Constand and then-District Attorney Bruce Castor's decision not to prosecute in 2005. Castor has since stated that he would have prosecuted had the evidence that eventually became available been on the table back then.
He called current DA Kevin Steele and Judge Steven T. O'Neill "a low life district attorney and a corrupt judge."
"[They] needed me guilty now," he said. "Not for justice, but for political aspirations."
He also said he would refuse to attend court mandated classes, calling them "entrapment."
Cosby was recently moved to general population in prison after spending his first few months at SCI Phoenix in an isolated unit.
If this woman was so traumatized by what she claims to be non-consensual sex, then why did she keep calling Dr. Cosby and having lengthy conversations with him several months afterward - and why did she keep going back to see him ALONE? Rape, really???
The me too movement is a modern day lynching. Notice that none of the many white men accused in the court of me-too-media-circus have been convicted of anything and most likely never will be. We only see black men going to jail and experiencing financial hardships as a result of these lynchings. No other district attorneys or attorneys-general have taken the extraordinary step of attempting to re-write the law to turn an innocent person into a criminal for the purposes of catering to the woefully flawed me too movement and there's good reason for that. Only the over-the-top hooligans masquerading as officers of the court in Pennsylvania have stooped so low.
However, so long as we all do a dog pile like the author of this story, all of that will soon change and we will see many more persons fall without real evidence of a crime. By then, it will be too late to act because nearly all men in America will be potential targets of this disgusting unending bowel movement.
