Backstage before the show, Chuck Morris — president and CEO of AEG Live Rocky Mountains, the promotion company that hosted Cosby — defended his decision to put the comedian onstage despite the allegations against him. Cosby, through his lawyer, has denied wrongdoing. We didnt feel it was our place to play God, judge or jury, when Mr. Cosby has not been convicted or even charged with any crime, said Morris, who added that Cosby declined offers in recent weeks to cancel other shows. I felt that we had a moral obligation to go on with the show. We didnt feel it was right to cancel a show based strictly on accusations. If there had been a conviction or an admission of guilt, it would have been a different story, he added. nbcnews/news/nbcblk/bill-cosby-playing-through-protests-i-will-share-gift-n288461
