“That would add insult to injury. I am curious why a question like this - does the accused enjoy immunity from prosecution - wasn't settled BEFORE the case went before a jury.”

Cosby tried - that issue went to the state Supreme Court before trial and they rejected it. Then 3 years later they overturned the conviction on that very same argument. Go figure.

Thanks. That’s not very well reported. Sounds like incompetence abounded in this case, plenty of blame to go around.

The PA Supreme Court is notoriously partisan and corrupt. They could have changed their minds based upon some obscure change in PAs political landscape. They could have even been bribed.

The Supreme Court majority was avoiding handling the more obvious problems with the case.

Such as allowing women to testify about allegations they were making that they had never filed a police complaint on, and all of which were long past the very long deadline to bring any charges.

This case was rotten from day one.
