Cosby’s release spurs anger, puzzlement and jubilation
To the surprise of many, comedian, entertainer and actor Bill Cosby walked out of a Pennsylvania prison June 30 after spending three years behind bars for sexual assault, after a jury found him guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting former basketball player Andrea Constand.
Cosby is free because the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his 2018 sexual assault conviction and ordered him released from prison immediately. The judges’ actions revolve around a deal a prosecutor cut in 2005 promising not to charge Cosby based on testimony that he gave in a civil suit brought by Constand. Other district attorneys chose to ignore that agreement and brought criminal charges against Cosby based on that testimonial evidence. Doing that violated Cosby’s due process, the justices said.
