Keshia did a bit of press as well, speaking out on Cosby’s behalf, stating:

The man that I?ve known as a child was funny and witty and smart and philanthropic and full of advice.

I can only go based on who I?ve experienced, and at the end of the day, it?s the court?s job to find the truth of the matter.

Keshia was also quick to point out that she’s there with no judgement about his guilt, stating:

I don?t condone sexual assault in any way, shape or form, but, at the end of the day, our court system is set up: you?re innocent until proven guilty. The job now is for the two sides to prove their cases and I accept whatever verdict is handed down.
