An ex-prosecutor is expected to testify that he
promised Bill Cosby would never be charged over a 2005 sex-assault complaint,
but a judge must decide if that constitutes an immunity deal, reported The
Morning Call.
Read my column in The Legal Intelligencer on the decision to prosecute
Cosby.
Then-prosecutor Bruce Castor will be a key witness
for the defense at a Feb. 2 hearing over what Cosby's lawyers have called a
"non-prosecution agreement."
The defense argues that prosecutors who charged
Cosby last month unfairly used his deposition testimony from the accuser's
civil lawsuit against him. Castor supports their position.
But Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin
Steele, the prosecutor handling Cosby's case, said there is no evidence of a
signed immunity agreement. Cosby's lawyers did not attach one to their recent
motion to dismiss the case.
On Saturday, Andrea Constand's lawyer said she never
knew of such an agreement.
"He (Castor) said ... that he talked to us
about it. That's a lie," lawyer Dolores Troiani said. "It never
happened."
