Fmr. Cosby Legal Counsel: What I Think About Cosby’s Guilt Is Irrelevant, It’s About the Facts

‘I am glad personally and professionally for all of the criminal defendants and future criminal defendants out there’

EXCERPT:

PRESSLEY: "So, I’m sitting in here as an analyst. I’m not his lawyer. I’m not an advocate for anyone. I’m calling balls and strikes- But I will correct the record and say that at the point that he said in the testimony that he had Quaaludes, Quaaludes were legal, and he never said that he slipped them to anyone. He said they were offered and everyone chose consensually. He said, where Andrea Constand was concerned, it was Benadryl, and he explained that beforehand and she took it. The Supreme Court went further and said that we have to credit Bruce Castor as the district attorney when he said that Ms. Constand’s statements were inconsistent, and he did not believe, for that and other reasons, that he was going to be able to get a guilty verdict. So it’s not about my opinion or my thought process. You know, we’ve been down this road before, and I always tell you, it’s not what I think, it’s what the facts say and it's what people have to prove, because that’s the state of the law. And the Supreme Court said today that when one prosecutor makes a decision on what they saw as the evidence at the time, that’s binding, and I am glad personally and professionally for all of the criminal defendants and future criminal defendants out there that this type of law is on the books."
