Bill Cosby shouldn’t have been granted immunity, Prosecutors appeal ruling
Prosecutors in Pennsylvania asked the United States Supreme Court to review its decision to overturn Bill Cosby’s indecent assault conviction, arguing in a petition that the comic star was incorrectly shielded from prosecution.
According to Yahoo News, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office stated in a statement Monday that Cosby shouldn’t have been granted immunity because a media statement issued by a previous district attorney said sexual assault charges wouldn’t be filed.
“Where a prosecutor publicly announces that he will not file criminal charges based on lack of evidence, does the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment transform that announcement into a binding promise that no charges will ever be filed, a promise that the target may rely on as if it were a grant of immunity?” the statement asked.
