Bill Cosby is scum, but that is not the issue. He hadn’t agreement with the state to testify in civil trials if the State agreed to not bring a criminal case against him.
That is not a technicality. It’s a violation of his Constitutional rights. Blame the previous Prosecutor for making the agreement, and the new Prosecutor going ahead with a prosecution.
Sure, Cosby is guilty, but that is not the point.
As scummy as he is, he should win his case against the State. I predict the State will settle before the case goes to trial.
You need to do a little home work. There was no formal written "agreement"... there were no negotiations... there was a press release by a prosecutor who decided not to pursue a case because it appeared weak. Another prosecutor decided that it was worth pursuing. That is about the extent of the situation. Just because one prosecutor decides not to pursue a case does not give anyone any where immunity from prosecution. That is ridiculous.
If Cosby was not a member of a protected class the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would have laughed their butts off at this "challenge". The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is a partisan body with five Democrats and one Republican. This decision was a travesty.
