What took her so long? Once a staunch defender of Bill Cosby (at least saying he was innocent until proven guilty), Whoopi Goldberg now believes the comedian/actor did indeed drug and rape multiple women.
Reports the New York Post:
In a departure from the normal round-table debate style of “The View,” co-host Goldberg sat down one-on-one with ABC News’ chief legal analyst Dan Abrams on Tuesday to discuss her take on the disgraced comedian.
Goldberg treated the chat as an educational sit-down, claiming that she had always been under the impression that if Cosby had raped and drugged women, he would be arrested and taken to jail.
Taking a much more open-minded approach to discussing the Cosby scandal than she did last week when she declared he was innocent until proven guilty, Goldberg asked Abrams, “As a serial rapist, why is he still on the street?”
Abrams explained that because the civil and criminal statute of limitations has expired for the vast majority of the women accusing Cosby of a crime, he will likely never see the inside of a jail cell.
“Why is there a statute of limitations?” Goldberg asked. “I always thought that rape cases were open-ended.”
Abrams explained there is a movement now to remove the statute of limitations in rape cases, which Goldberg said she fully supports.
Better late than never?
