Can Bill Cosby be retried now that he is free from prison?

What s next now that Bill Cosby has been released from prison? Wednesday s ruling was a stunning reversal of fortune for the comedian once known as “America s Dad.” Author: Joe Calabrese Updated: 2:13 PM MST June 30, 2021 WASHINGTON Bill Cosby was released from prison Wednesday after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the 83-year-old actor s sexual assault conviction. So now what are the chances that Cosby could face a new trial?  Cosby had been found guilty of drugging and violating Temple University sports administrator Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. Cosby appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in Dec. 2020. One of two aspects of the case the court looked at was an agreement that Cosby apparently had with a former prosecutor, saying that Cosby would not be charged if he provided testimony in a related civil case. 

Bill Cosby and the court decision freeing him, explained as best we can

Mark Makela/Getty Images Bill Cosby, the disgraced comedian who was convicted of sexual assault in 2018, is no longer in prison, due to a state supreme court decision in The circumstances that freed him involve a stunning display of prosecutorial incompetence, a divided Pennsylvania Supreme Court that split three ways on what should become of Cosby, and a long, rambling judicial opinion that is often difficult to parse. The thrust of that opinion is that, even though then-Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor never reached a formal agreement with Cosby that granted him immunity from prosecution, a press release that Castor sent out in 2005 combined with Cosby’s later, incriminating testimony in a civil lawsuit had the same effect as a formal immunity deal.
