Bill Cosby Sentenced To At Least 3 Years In State Prison

Bill Cosby has been sentenced to at least three years in a prison for the sexual assault of Andrea Constand, as the once-beloved comic ends up behind bars after multiple accusers saying he’s drugged and sexually assaulted women for decades! Cosby was once again in court without his wife Camille at his side, but at least 20 of his previous accusers had gathered in the courtroom to watch the sentence being delivered, shortly after Judge Steven T. O’Neill also ruled that Cosby should be considered to be a “sexually violent predator.” “Your time has come,” said O’Neill, but added that Cosby wouldn’t serve more than 10 years in prison. Insiders, however, claim that the ailing comic was already convinced that he’ll die behind bars if sentenced to prison — regardless of how many years! A group of medics were even attending, with one telling The National ENQUIRER they were there if Cosby had a heart attack!

The disgraced showbiz legend is suffering from a wide range of serious health issues, with Cosby reportedly spending his final days rewriting his will to blast “traitors” that he felt had turned their back on him — including celebrities who'd snubbed Cosby at what he hoped would be a blowout final farewell at this 81st birthday party in July!

Judge O'Neill, however, noted that Cosby is being sentenced to a state prison “specifically designed” to accommodate elderly people. The sentencing also put an end to Cosby's court battle to beat being labeled a “sexual predator.” As earlier reported by The National ENQUIRER, Cosby had blasted a psychiatric panel’s recommendation to classify him as a “sexually violent predator.”

Insiders had reported that Cosby had even turned down a plea deal that would revoked his status as a “low-level offender” in under a year. Instead, Cosby's prison sentence had Judge O'Neill ruling from the bench that the sitcom star is a "sexually violent predator!"

Now the comic's legal team is hoping to keep the comic out on bail as the conviction is appealed, while D.A. Kevin Steele has asked for Cosby to immediately begin serving his sentence. In either case, court insiders said, Cosby can still expect to be escorted out of court in handcuffs!
