Cosby's $60M Judgment: Justice for Old Wounds

0:00It's April 29th. You're listening to Entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered pop culture updates. I'm Cory with the story. Bill Cosby faces another courtroom battle after a jury hit him with a nearly $60 million judgment for sexually assaulting Donna Mottinger. Back in 1972, this spring, they found him liable and awarded her big bucks for her suffering. His legal team is pushing hard for a new trial, calling the payout way too steep. They highlight that Cosby, now an 88-year-old blind man living in isolation, doesn't need a $40 million punitive hit to stop him. From repeating offenses, Mottinger, who's 84, scored $17,500,000 for past mental pain and $1,750,000 for what's ahead. The former waitress says she's showed her this trauma for over 50 years and is still haunts her every day. Here's note the total award eats up about a third of Cosby's net worth, making it feel like overkill given his frail condition.
