As pixie says, a procedural error means that Mr Cosby is going to be set free.

That's the law - it has to be obeyed.

I used to love the Cosby Show years ago. How the mighty are fallen eh ??

// That's the law - it has to be obeyed.//
should be obeyed

can immediately think of a few ( irish bombers, daniel morgan, dalian thingey, ) where things would be different if it had been
specifically -- ( law obeyed that is!)
a. not 17 y in prison
b. wdnt take 35 y to say we now have no idea who did it because we consciously wrecked the evidence
c.would be in a psych hospital and not a coffin

Has anyone read Cosby - it looks like inconsistent evidence was given in the civil case by the victim which had an effect on what was pleaded in the criminal case

civil evidence to screw a criminal case is rare but does happen.
Sutcliffe libel trials were undone by later evidence in a later trial ( there was serial libel suing)
Linford Christie Libel trial was undone by evidence that Sean McVicar ( yeah the crrazed gun man played by Roger Daltrey) collected
In these cases the liar - where the case had to be unwound - may be indicted for perjury and if convicted, starts off at 2 y in prison ( Aitken)

// There was also new evidence that worked in Cosby's favour. A new defence witness who once worked with Ms Constand had talked about fabricating evidence against a celebrity for financial gain.//

oo-er Mrs !

DSK ( dominique strauss kahn silly! ) who was a raver and too much even for his angleesh wife - Anne Sinclair - took, seduced, had the Liberian hotel maid
who was later recorded as ringing boyfriend - we have got him now we can get him to pay! - - - -- oo la la

[Peter Pedant]

oh,
you can tell the troot Mr Cosby we will not bring a criminal case

oh you said X and so we are gonna prosecute

and Mr Cosby said that it was unfair -and the supreme ct agreed.


awful lot of pussy footing - this does not mean he did not commit sexual assault - - erm yes it doesn innit - he wasnt convicted.

promissory estoppel 20 08 the beeb
not wonder Roy said what from down under - haw haw haw
