Right? Like we get it, you're not in the files, and you want to remind everyone you were acquitted and found not civilly liable of your own sexual misconduct. But "not guilty" is not the same as "innocent," and dodging legal responsibility is not vindication.

But “not guilty” is not the same as “innocent,” and dodging legal responsibility is not vindication.

Basically the courts don't matter and all that matters is public opinion? And this is where you launch into a "the courts are corrupt" and "the rich never get punished" or some similar BS?

I find this especially hilarious considering his cases were on around the same time as Cosby’s and Weinstein’s.

It seems people honestly believe that Kevin Spacey has more pull/better lawyers than Harvey fucking Weinstein…

Different jurors.

Different circumstances and different crimes, and especially different victims.

Also, Weinstein and Cosby were openly assaulting women for decades. They victimized hundreds of women, and Cosby isn't even in jail anymore.
