Whoopi Goldberg reverses her Bill Cosby opinion after statutes-of-limitation primer

Whoopi Goldberg has gotten a brief legal education — and it's led her to throw Bill Cosby to the public-opinion wolves.

"If this is to be tried in the court of public opinion, I've got to say, all the information that's out there kind of points to guilt," she said Tuesday on "The View," departing starkly from her "innocent until proven guilty" observation on the show a week ago.

Apparently, until she had a sit-down with ABC News legal analyst Dan Abrams and got an education in statutes of limitations, Goldberg had no idea that the man accused of rape by more than four dozen women could not be taken to court regarding the vast majority of those allegations, which run from the 1960s into the 2000s.
