Janice Baker Kenney, a witness in the 2018 trial, and her attorney Gloria Allred appear on CBS This Morning to discuss Bill Cosby's release. Kenney asserts that Cosby was released on a legal technicality rather than proof of innocence, maintaining that his legacy as "America's Dad" is permanently destroyed. Allred argues that the decision is not a setback for the Me Too movement and highlights ongoing cases against R. Kelly and Harvey Weinstein.
The release of Bill Cosby is contrasted with the ramping up of the R. Kelly trial, noting the media's focus on predatory tropes. Gloria Allred discusses a pending civil case in California involving Judy Huth and an alleged incident at the Playboy Mansion. Because Cosby can no longer be tried criminally for these specific acts, Allred explains he can no longer invoke the Fifth Amendment to avoid testifying in upcoming civil depositions.
