Bill Cosby has eight years and nine months left to serve in prison, but he is not prepared to tell the parole board that he feels any remorse for the crimes he was convicted of last year.
In an interview with National Newspaper Publishers Association’s BlackPressUSA.com, the 82-year-old said his trial was a setup and he would not show any guilt for the three counts of aggravated indecent assault he was charged with. He also called the jurors “imposters.”
"When I come up for parole, they're not going to hear me say that I have remorse," he said. "I was there. I don't care what group of people come along and talk about this when they weren't there. They don't know."
Cosby was accused of drugging and molesting a Temple University women's basketball administrator in 2004. Since then about 60 women have come forward with allegations against Cosby dating to the 1960s but the disgraced comedian has maintained his innocence.
Now he is claiming that the whole trial was a farce.
"It's all a setup. That whole jury thing. They were impostors," Cosby insisted.
His words are echoed in a statement released earlier this year through Instagram.
"I, [Mr. Cosby] have 'no' remorse and will never have remorse," he said, adding that his sentencing was driven by another agenda, which had led to his "entrapment."
"My political beliefs, my actions of trying to humanize all races, genders, and religions landed me in this place surrounded by barb wire fencing, a room made of steel and iron," Cosby said. "So, I now have a temporary residence that resembles the quarters of some of the Greatest Political Prisoners - Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Randal Robinson, and Dr. Benjamin Chavis. I stand upright as a Political Prisoner and I Smile. The Truth is Strong!"
