The judge ruled against Bill Cosby today.
Cosby's team had argued that the previous D.A., Castor, told him that he wouldn't prosecute Cosby after Cosby gave testimony in civil court (Cosby settled the case). Castor confirmed that he told that to Cosby.
But, there was no legally binding agreement that Cosby couldn't be criminally prosecuted later, nor that his sworn admissions in civil court wouldn't be used against him in criminal court.
So, the next step is a pre-trial hearing in criminal court to determine if the new D.A. has enough evidence to prosecute Bill Cosby for aggravated sexual against against Andrea Constand.
