Supreme Court won't review decision that freed Bill Cosby from prison

Supreme Court won't review decision that freed Bill Cosby from prison
Bill Cosby is a free man. The 83 year old comedian smiling outside his pennsylvania home after the state's highest court overturned his sexual assault conviction. He just said his heart was racing. He couldn't believe his case was the first high profile celebrity sexual assault trial of the Me Too era, dozens of women came forward alleging Cosby assaulted them decades earlier for years and years and decades. He preyed upon young women. The man known as America's dad, convicted in 2018. He had served three years of a ten-year maximum sentence in prison when he was released Wednesday. He is a notorious rapist and he just got away with it At the core of the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court ruling is a deal. Former Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor made with Cosby in 2005. Castor promised he would not criminally prosecute Cosby for the rape of Andrea. Constand if Cosby sat for a deposition in a civil case, that deposition where Cosby admitted to drugging women before sexual encounters was ultimately used against Cosby by another prosecutor in a criminal trial. More than a decade later, the panel ruled that was a violation of Cosby's due process rights. As we said from day one, we just didn't think he was treated fairly in a statement. Constand and her attorneys say in part, the decision is not only disappointing but of concern and that it may discourage those who seek justice for sexual assault. This just sets back victims.
