Bill Cosby Handed 'Staggering' $59M Verdict — Here's What It Means For Pending Lawsuits Against Him

A California jury found Bill Cosby liable for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman over 50 years ago — and ordered him to pay nearly $60 million in damages. Cosby, once fondly known as “America’s Dad” for his iconic role as Cliff Huxtable in “The Cosby Show,” has seen his legacy forever tarnished as over 60 women have leveled similar allegations against him. He became one of the most recognizable faces of the #MeToo movement, and was the first high-profile conviction of the era. The verdict was overturned three years later after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled he should not have been charged in that case to begin with because of a past non-prosecution agreement. Since his 2021 release from prison, he’s faced a string of lawsuits from women accusing him of sexual assault. Attorney Angela Reddock-Wright joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the staggering verdict.
