But why was a criminal prosecutor involved in a civil lawsuit?
Shouldn’t that have been Cosby’s lawyer versus her lawyer?
“But why was a criminal prosecutor involved in a civil lawsuit?”
My understanding is that the civil case could not proceed until after the criminal case was settled. If the prosecutor had criminally prosecuted Cosby and lost, then the civil case would most likely have been lost as well. In the law, you almost never get what you want. But the limitations set on the government are intended to prevent using the prosecutor’s office for political revenge. (Which is what we see happening to all Trump associated people being prosecuted.)
