PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Editor's note: The above video is from June 30.
The lead prosecutor in Bill Cosby’s sex assault case believes the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overstepped its power in reversing the comedian’s conviction.
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele says the chief justice added 'fuel on the fire’ to misinformation circulating about the case when he gave a weekend television interview.
Chief Justice Max Baer accuses prosecutors in an interview of a “reprehensible bait and switch” in arresting Cosby in 2015 despite what he called the certain existence of a 2005 non-prosecution agreement.
However, the existence of the agreement has been hotly debated. And there was no mention of it in writing until 2015.
While Cosby is now free, the ruling in his case could technically be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Prosecutors have yet to say whether or not they plan to do so.
