The previous Prosecutor had decided that it would be a very difficult case to prosecute due to the amount of time passed. Crosby could have pled the fifth. Instead he agreed to drop the case so that Crosby could not plead against self incrimination in the civil case against him which had a much greater chance of success. The later prosecutor then used Crosby's own statements in the civil case to convict him.

Under those circumstances it is no wonder that the Penn. State Supreme Court found against the guilty verdict.
