Makes no sense to me. If John Dillinger robbed PA bank 1 and was found not guilty because he made some agreement with the PA prosecutor so that the bank could sue him for the money in a civil case and then he robs bank 2 in another county in PA and is found guilty why should his agreement with bank 1 have any bearing on anything expect that he is a bank robber? He is a bank robber as many could attest. And a well known bank robber. Even if his ex-wife says he does not rob banks.
There seem to be many accusers of Bill Cosby and he admitted in one of these cases that he did it but that was to stop his facing future criminal charges. These other accusers could have been cross-examined by Cosby's lawyers.

Ancient debate. Law, crime, is our goal to punish, or to reform. Fame, often sets a new standard as it becomes a public issue. Then with Bill Cosby we can toss in the endless race issue.
Accepting a plea sadly is a major part of our legal system. Fair, a regularly used term is in the eye of the beholder. Punishment often depends on your budget as well as who you know and what others know you might release about them.
