Bruce Castor explains 2004 'decision' not to prosecute Bill Cosby on sexual assault charges

The former district attorney joined Fox News on "America Reports" and explained his reasoning behind the decision to make the deal with the embattled stand-up performer, telling John Roberts that what is being reported in the media isn’t at all how the situation played out.

The former district attorney, who also represented Donald Trump in the former president’s second impeachment trial, joined Fox News on "America Reports" and explained his reasoning behind the decision to make the deal with the embattled stand-up performer, telling John Roberts that what is being reported in the media isn’t at all how the situation played out. "I made a decision not to prosecute Cosby, and I made that decision on behalf of the Commonwealth intending to bind the Commonwealth as a result of that, as a matter of law, he lost his ability to claim the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination when he was required to testify at the civil case and give four depositions that I understand he leveraged – or the other side there, the plaintiff leveraged into a multimillion-dollar settlement. So there is no – I didn't need any agreement from him," Castor explained.
