LAUER FINALLY SPEAKS

'Lynched?' Cosby p.r. team's shamelss 'Till' tirade

Bill Cosby’s reps in a stunning TV interview Friday compared his sex-assault trial to the lynching of Emmett Till.

As Cosby spokespeople Ebonee Benson and Andrew Wyatt defended their client a day after he was found guilty of sex assault, ABC’s “Good Morning America” host George Stephanopoulos asked if they really believed that all 60 of his accusers were lying.

“Since when are all people honest? Since when are all women honest? We can take a look at Emmett Till, for example,” Benson replied, referring to the black 14-year-old who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after a white woman accused him of flirting with her.

The cringe-worthy comments came as a judge set the 80-yearold comic’s bail conditions, placing him under house arrest and ordering him to wear a GPS monitor until he is sentenced for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004.

Cosby can leave his Pennsylvania home only to see a lawyer or doctor and will need written permission before doing so, Judge Steven O’Neill wrote in his order.

O’Neill also said Cosby will be sentenced within 75 days.

A day earlier, Cosby cursed a prosecutor who urged the judge to remand the actor because “he has a plane.”

“He doesn’t have a plane, you a--hole!” Cosby yelled, referring to himself in the third person.

On “GMA,” Wyatt called Cosby’s trial “a public lynching” and laid into attorney Gloria Allred, who represents 33 of Cosby’s accusers, including three who testified at the trial.

“What Gloria Allred was able to do, she took a salt-and-pepper shaker — she shaked out a lot of salt and sprinkled in a little black pepper,” he said.

“And the South came East. And that’s what we saw.”

Wyatt said the former Jell-O pitchman was “feeling great” and spending time with wife Camille after his conviction.

“He’s confident. Although he’s been found guilty, he’s innocent of these charges, and he maintains his innocence,” Wyatt said. “These are allegations that are decade-long allegations. These women have no evidence.”

Allred on Friday said she was “shocked” by the verdict.

“It’s a very high burden of proof, guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” she said on “CBS This Morning.” “And in the case of a celebrity who’s on trial, such as Mr. Cosby, sometimes jurors feel they need even more proof than beyond a reasonable doubt.”

A prior trial ended in a hung jury for Cosby, and Allred credited the outcome this time around to the fact that five accusers were allowed to testify in addition to Constand and that the #MeToo movement happened in between.

“Women are now being believed in greater numbers,” she said.

Lawyers for Cosby — who faces as manhy as 30 years behind bars — said they plan to appeal.
