We are all familiar with the Bill Cosby scandal. Over the past year, over 50 women accused Bill Cosby of either drugging or sexually assaulting him or both. But unlike the thousands of blogs, news reports and op-eds out there regarding the lovable Dr. Huxtable turned rapist, this is dedicated to the woman behind the scenes. The woman who is currently attempting to turn Mr. Cosby from being known as a rapist back to being known as the lovable Dr. Huxtable. Monique Pressley, the real life Annalise Keating.
Whether you're a "he didn't do it!" kind of person, a "let that rapist rot in jail!" kind of person or on the fence about Bills allegations, we can all agree that Monique Pressley is a real life Annalise Keating. Maybe even better. Other than being an attorney, Monique is a, *deep breath*, mother of two, ordained minister, radio show host, TV legal Analyst, professor, certified leadership trainer, speaker and the principal of the Pressley Firm LLC. A Texas native from Galveston, Monique attained her Bachelor of Arts at St.Marys University in San Antonio. She then furthered her studies at Howard University's School of Law in Washington, D.C.
Before the dawn of Monique's tenure with the attorney general's office in D.C., her legal career began at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia. Then, she practised white-collar criminal defence and complex civil litigation at a firm in Maryland.
During the time of her tenure with the attorney general’s office, Monique was also an adjunct professor at the school that she earned her law degree. This Annalise carbon copy taught trial advocacy and for five years she coached the Trial Advocacy Moot Court Team. Impressive, right?
So what exactly causes many people to believe that Monique Pressley is the real life version of How to Get Away with Murder's Annalise Keating? Well, Ms.Pressley, quite like Mrs. Keating, is a word twisting, critical thinker who is always up for a challenge, legally speaking. If you're a religious HTGAWM fan like I am, you're probably familiar with the many crazy challenging cases that Annalise is faced with. Monique is currently faced with one of the most scandalous cases since R Kelly. And let’s face it; proving Bill Cosby not guilty of sexual assault is no walk in the park. This is why this is the type of job that needs an Annalise Keating and Monique is best fit for the daunting task.
Whether you like or support Mr. Cosby, there's no way to deny Monique’s Annalise-style skills. I have conveniently inserted two videos of both Annalise and Monique basically snatching the baby hairs off of their argumentative opponents. Mr. Cosby is definitely getting his money's worth.
