Bill Cosby, feigning blindness, paused to point and smile at someone in the crowd

Lisa Bloom ✔ @LisaBloom

Bill Cosby, who asks for leniency on grounds of blindness, “paused to point and smile at someone in the crowd before heading inside.” Mm hm. Amazing how he can pick out a specific person while blind.

Or does he consider the fact they were drugged and unaware as being lenient?

and he should be good at pretending, after all he pretended to be an upstanding citizen and family man for many decades.

NOT saying this to defend Cosby, simply out of curiosity if we know he has been medical diagnosis of blindness.

While things like back issues and such can be faked, as far as I know, not a medical professional, sight is very much a knowable thing, not something you can fake. Either the conditions for sight exist or they don’t, I don’t think there is any in between.

and could recognize someone. Not making excuses and would want a doctor to diagnose it, but just don't feel comfortable going after him since i have that, not to the degree of blindness yet, but it is pretty nasty.
