NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The former district attorney who declined to arrest Bill Cosby on sex-crime charges a decade ago testified Tuesday that he essentially granted the comedian lifetime immunity from prosecution in the case.
Former Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor took the stand in a bid by Cosby's lawyers to get the case against the TV star thrown out long before trial because of what they say is a non-prosecution agreement with Castor.
BOSTON – State welfare fraud investigators uncovered a record $13.7 million in bogus claims in fiscal 2015, according to state Auditor Suzanne Bump.
The amount was up 44 percent from the previous year, Bump told the Legislature's Joint Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday. She said her office's Bureau of Special Investigations will release the details in its 2015 annual report Wednesday.
