Robert Shapiro Cosby Verdict Huge Victory for #MeToo

EXCLUSIVE

Robert Shapiro[1] knows a thing or two about defending guilty clients -- sorry, O.J.[2] -- but he says no one could have successfully defended Bill Cosby[3].

We got the famous lawyer Thursday night leaving Avra restaurant in Bev Hills, and he thinks the 5 women who testified about Cosby's M.O. sealed his fate.

He also thinks it was super stupid of Cosby to go off on prosecutors after the verdict[4] ... because the judge has yet to sentence him.

But, Shapiro thinks the most stunning thing about the verdict is that it's a testament to the power of the #MeToo movement.
