RIP double jeopardy? It’s incredible how fast we’re sliding toward socialism.
My bet is that the Supremes will ignore this case.
It seems obvious to me that when the prosecutor proffers that something is confidential, they shouldn’t be able to turn around and use it against you. Seems like self-incrimination by entrapment or fraud.
This is true even if Cosby is a famous and inveterate sexual abuser/rapist of women.
So, I think that procedurally, Cosby had to be let off. It’s too bad the prosecution didn’t think it could make its case the legal way.
The way this “should” work is that the prosecutors should be charged for giving the corrupt deal. Many plea deals are immoral end runs around actual justice anyway. Either run the case you have or don’t charge the crime at all.
