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.
Okay, but neither him nor his attorney demanded that immunity in writing???
It sounds like the prosecution is saying it never happened.
Do you know why Cosby would have testified and given testimony damaging to himself, even if he was give immunity? Why would his lawyers have allowed it, and what was the benefit to him?
Not really on the subject fully, but I think people these days are not understanding what the courts/trial is suppost to be, which is the search for the truth and the examining of details, not a tool of vengeance or polticial grandstanding, and we are losing sight of that.
- Just my two cents
“He was guilty as hell but guilty scumbags still can’t be unethically stripped of their constitutional rights.”
I could not agree more. The fact that so many people out there don’t get it shows you how far we have slid toward tyranny.
“Cosby is a scumbag.”
No doubt about that. But as this whole thing unraveled, I couldn’t help but think the things we’re not supposed to think anymore. (And I’m female)
There are lots of things that could be said, but really it comes down to this -
What was any woman doing in the Playboy Club with Bill Cosby or any other married man? What did she think went on there???
I agree, you can’t give someone immunity and then cancel it after you got what you wanted.
