Pennsylvania senators propose new non-prosecution rules after Cosby conviction overturned

Published



The chairs of the Pennsylvania Senate Judiciary Committee will introduce a bill that requires the state to write down and enforce non-prosecution agreements reached during criminal investigations.

The proposal comes after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated Bill Cosby’s 2018 convictions for aggravated indecent assault that were achieved, in part, using the comic’s testimony from a 2006 civil suit in which he believed himself immune from further criminal charges.
