Why the LA Sexual Assault Cases Against Cosby Collapsed + the Latest on Sandra Bland Trooper
Bill Cosby had two of the sexual assault cases against him filed in Los Angeles dropped by the Los Angeles District Attorney who announced they would not prosecute the claims filed by Chloe Goins or Jane Doe Number 2 in 2008 and a woman who listed her name as Jane Doe 1 in 1965. Meanwhile, Brian Encinia, the state trooper who arrested Sandra Bland, has been indicted on a perjury charge. We examine both stories and look at the faulty investigation into Chicago police misconduct with defense attorney Tom Mesereau, in this uncensored Crime Time episode hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
