Expert testifies Benadryl, quaaludes could've affected Bill Cosby accuser
well you know the USA..they have an "expert" on everything as do the defence but I take your point.
While I confess to abusing Quaaludes , all drugs can affect people differently but the fact is during that era they (and Mandrax) were known a s "feel good" drug and an aid to social activities..like sex!
This claimant was a person in a pretty top job so is obviously fairly intelligent so it's odd she didn't know about the pills ..however...
why did she accept them and take them when she was... on her claim, there to discuss her career? Quid per pro? A redefining of their own actions? regret?
And note she must have told her mother who then rang Cosby to find out what the pills were..but did she complain then to her mother that she had been raped and if not why not?
did she go to police? (and it's B/S that celebs were so powerful that could stop a rape accusation..celebs have been charged & convicted since Hollywood began in the 20s)
But any scenario could be true of course. Cosby was convicted but appeals in the US (much easier to obtain than the UK) can alter everything.
## recall the "Freak" from the Aussie TV prison series Cellblock H was convicted in a magistrates court but had her conviction overturned in the Appeal Court.
