Bill Cosby has been declared Legally blind by his attorney

Legendary American comedian/actor Bill Cosby has said he’s legally blind, hence, he would not be able to identify the women accusing him of sexual assault.

Cosby will on Tuesday present to the court, a doctor’s report certifying that his sight is defective and that he’s registered with a state commission for the blind.

“No 79-year-old blind man could possibly defend himself against a claim that he sexually assaulted someone he supposedly met once, half a century ago,” his attorneys said in court documents filed in Pennsylvania.

“Without his eyesight, Mr. Cosby cannot even determine whether he has ever even seen some of his accusers, let alone develop defenses and gather exculpatory evidence,” the documents further stated.

The veteran comedian is facing three charges of felony indecent assault on Andrea Constand, who claims that he drugged and violated her in 2004.

End of the World ??? as Russia unveils SATAN 2, a missile that can wipe out the whole of Texas and London

 

Russia's enemies would be wetting their pants as the European Power-House recently unveiled a new intercontinental ballistic missile that can reportedly destroy a geographic area as large as Texas.

The debut of the RS-28 Sarmat, nicknamed "Satan 2," was first announced by Russian news network Zvezda.  It will replace the R-36M Voevoda missile, the original "Satan."

"The Sarmat missile will not only become the R-36M's successor, but also to some extent it will determine in which direction nuclear deterrence in the world will develop," Zvezda reported.

According to Sputnik, an English-language news site with ties to the Russian government, the Sarmat missile will be faster than any missile-defense system in existence. It will have an estimated range of more than 6,000 miles.

It will be equipped with a dozen warheads with a payload of between four to 10 tons. During the missile's debut, a broadcaster on Zvezda said Sarmat missiles could "wipe out" areas as large as Texas or France.

Sputnik reports Sarmat missiles will also be equipped with "advanced anti-missile countermeasures meant to penetrate the U.S. [Advanced Ballistic Missile] shield."

The Russian Defense Ministry plans to put Sarmat missiles into service in 2018. The RS-28 Sarmat missile is also expected to completely replace the R-36M Voevoda missile by 2020, according to Sputnik.

"G..U Ake was Amaechi’s political mentor. Yet for eight years, he denied his community the required access road. For us, we will continue to ensure the development of infrastructure in all communities of Rivers State , irrespective of the political leaning of the people ".

Speaking at the Omega Power Ministry , Governor Wike , Governor Wike said he has presented the political problem of the state before God, urging all Christians to pray fervently for the sustenance of the state .

He said: "The same God who ensured that we overcame them in 2015, will answer our prayers".
