saylor i m sorry, justice thomas saylor said of a press release that you sent out in february of 2005, he said i respectfully disagree with the press release that contained in an unconditional promise that the commonwealth would not constitute perpetuity. the majority of the supreme court thought that there was at least an inherent promise in your decision not to charge cosby. so did they get it wrong? no john, you are not using the words correctly. i promised on behalf of the commonwealth not to prosecute cosby but that s not an agreement. he gets a say in that, decide that. and that i didn t get anything back from him.
president bush was in his own administration and it was about the end of the first term or so around that time, february of 2005 is when the huge tsunami hit southeast asia and he asked his father as well as president clinton to work together to go to the region, to try to come up with this kind of massive humanitarian aid and they did that. they traveled for four days together, a long plane ride and president bill clinton said it was one of the greatest gifts he ever had working with president h.w. bush and then it was just shortly afterwards, ana. this was katrina that had hit in late august 2005 and president george w. bush, asked the two of them to donate and raise money, essentially, for that relief effort and this was a time when i was covering the president. he was under an incredible amount of scrutiny and criticism for his administration s slow handling of katrina. they put these two former
surprised? as a journalist who has covered this story for so long, were you surprised today when the charges came down? you know, no, i wasn t. i had a strong inclination this was going to happen when it was revealed that the da had reopened the case this past summer. i was pretty much surprised when the da decided not to prosecute in february of 2005. i felt that there were more than a dozen women that had come forward with similar claims to andrea s, that had come forward with their stories, but that wasn t enough for the da to decide to charge mr. cosby at the time. we ll talk more about that part of the story in just a moment. have you heard from other women out there who have said that cosby did the same thing to them? well, yes. there are more than 50 women now who say he did the same thing to them. and i ve been speaking with some of the original jane does who
