Bing Crosby release

[Pixxie7]

Bing Crosby has suddenly been released today on a technicality what do people think?

Bing Crosby .... 🤣🤣

Only laugh I’ve had today so thank you

@Jubbies

Oh my aching sides. What an ever so amusing autocorrect mishap.

Tell me about it . They're so obvious.

@Summerdayshaze

I think it’s quite literally a MIRACLE!

Jesus this had me in absolute stitches. I honestly haven't laughed so hard all week (genuinely).

Wish I could upvote this as being one of the funniest things I've read on Mumsnet!!! Even better because there will be people who won't get it.

Thanks for the entertainment and cheering me up:)

I was absolutely gobsmacked at the first few posts seemingly celebrating the release of a prolific sex offender who's been let off on a technicality. I thought MN had entered another dimension.

Then I noticed the typos in the name 😅😅

I also had a chuckle when the news presenter called him "Bill Clinton" earlier.

No celebrations here flamingo

Some mistakes are amusing.

The reality of a technicality/procedural issue is a depressing thump back to reality.

Sorry - the release due to a technicality/procedural issue is a depressing thump back to reality.

The state prosecutor agreed that in exchange for self incriminating testimony in Andrea's civil lawsuit against him he would not face any criminal charges in relation to her.

She received i think about 4 million in the civil case against him.

In his trial she was the only victim not outside the time limit of statute of limitations so they proceeded with that case.

Supreme Court has now had to uphold the original deal that he can't be prosecuted for the crime committed against her so he is free.

His other victims all took too long to ever come forward and so he cannot be charged in relation to them

She was the one who was linked to a Uni? Or did I imagine that? It stinks anyway. Really rotten.

Oh and the absolute fuckwit of a prosecutor who made that deal you may now know better as the man who defended trump at his impeachment

Yeah she worked for a university iirc

OMG.

These worlds are so small.

Does raise the question now if something needs to be changed as this has exposed the fact that by using a civil case to give payment under an NDA and protecting them from criminal prosecution the American system effectively has a "blood money" route for the rich.

They can testify in a closed civil suit give over the millions and walk away safe knowing they'll never see a jail cell

I've had a shitty day but you just cheered me right up OP.
Good old Bing Crosby.

I knew what the comments would like before I opened the thread up. I am not disappointed 😂

@Hadjab

And this is why we always check our homework before handing it in…

This has given me uncontrollable giggles

@OrrisRoot

These worlds are so small.

I'm holding onto hope that the same names come up time and time again because there's only a small number of such crooked lawyers that everyone has to use the same ones.

Having a statute of limitations on serious crimes is awful in itself. Such a fucked up country.

Will we get another Easter?!

Thanks for the laugh OP....I needed that

@ImprobablePuffin

I've already nominated for classics. I don't even care.

😂😂😂

Reminds me of a Japanese case.

Weinstein’s lawyers are gloating already. Anticipating similar.

It has been said that even Bing Crosby was not such a lovely man.
