As I understand it, the “tactics” were used when the prosecution put up additional victims to testify about additional assaults. The defense objected, claiming (lying) there was no supporting evidence, at which point the prosecution had no choice but to call them on their lie by presenting Cosby’s own (damning) words. It’s possible the prosecution orchestrated the chain of events, but it was the defense who forced them to counter their lies with evidence of the truth in Cosby’s own words. In short, Cosby’s lawyers knowingly lied on his behalf, which ought to throw any prior legal agreements out the window.
