Court correctly overturned the conviction with prejudice because the DA's office and the prosecutors made colossal mistakes. Agree it's horrible for the victims and unfair in our hearts but the justice system works (ideally) in an objective matter. The lives and money this cost though...

Yeah, but look at the alternative: the DA lied to Bill Cosby get a confession and witness statement from him (to be used against another).

If the DA lies they can (and will, as they've done in the past, one might add) imprison anyone with whatever excuse is most convenient. For political reasons, for suspicions, for whatever reasons.
