RIP double jeopardy? It’s incredible how fast we’re sliding toward socialism.

“This decision as it stands will have far-reaching negative consequences beyond Montgomery County and Pennsylvania.

Cosby is a scumbag. But the prosecutors did an end-around of the 5th amendment. They gave him immunity in a civil case in order to compel testimony from him and then yanked the immunity and prosecuted him using his own testimony against himself. He was guilty as hell but guilty scumbags still can't be unethically stripped of their constitutional rights.

The consequences of throwing away THAT precedent are far frm negative.

If it isn’t written it isn’t true. I can’t imagine a verbal immunity agreement would have been accepted by Cosby’s legal team. If Cosby didn’t demand an immunity agreement in writing then more the fool he.

“Requiring us to keep our promises sets a dangerous precedent.”

Probably ginning up a case against Kyle Rittenhouse at this very moment.

I don't doubt for a moment Cosby's guilt here. The problem I have with the entire affair is the notion that women can come forward many years after a sexual assault event and file criminal charges -- long after any real proof has been literally washed away. I also have suspicion that some of these women didn't feel the need to report Cosby as long as he was in a position to do something for them. Once that went away, he's of no use to them.

As far as I'm concerned, if you are sexually assaulted, you need to come forward immediately. After a short while, you've lost your right to complain.

I HIGHLY doubt that SCOTUS will take the case, but these are strange time .... so ???

Can’t understand why a state prosecutor would be involved in a civil case nor why said prosecutor would have anything to do, one way or the other, with immunity.

Civil cases are between private parties and are litigated by private attorneys.
