This is the key finding of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania that explains its reversal of the Cosby decision: the prior DA promised non-prosecution to force Cosby to waive his Fifth Amendment privilege and testify in a civil case, he did, then they prosecuted him with it. pic.twitter.com/TUT17IMOAr

/3 So, though the evidence strongly supports Cosby being a long-time predator, this particular series of decisions by prosecutors seems pretty outrageous.

BTW:/5 Notably this is a 6-1 decision: 5 justices think the conviction must be thrown out and no retrial, two would permit a retrial without the civil testimony resulting from the non-prosecution promise . . . .

Remember Bruce Castor, the lawyer mocked for his performance during Trump's second impeachment?

His promise not to prosecute Bill Cosby, made back in 2005 when he was a DA, is why a court just overturned Cosby's sexual assault conviction.https://t.co/Kg4RiZ8ddA pic.twitter.com/zspZkYEHzI
