Bill Cosby's legal team 'considered criminal case closed'

Bill Cosby’s top legal adviser has said he never would have let the comedian testify in a 2005 lawsuit if he thought Cosby could still face sexual assault charges in the matter.

Lawyer Jack Schmitt testified that Cosby’s legal team considered the criminal case “irrevocably concluded” after a suburban Philadelphia district attorney told them he was closing the investigation into charges Cosby drugged and violated Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004.
