Supreme Court Won’t Review Decision That Freed Bill Cosby
SnopesSep 09, 2021
SCOTUS announced Monday that it wouldn't review a sexual assault case against comedian Bill Cosby, leaving him a free man and ending a two-decade legal battle.
Cosby was released from prison after 3 yrs last June, when Pennsylvania's High Court overturned his conviction. The ruling was based on a former prosecutor's secret pledge that Cosby would never be indicted.
This is a huge win for the comedian and for justice. Cosby was a victim of the DA's reprehensible bait and switch. Now, at 84 years old, he has rightly been freed.
There was ample evidence to convict Cosby, as numerous women have come forward against him. A formal agreement not to prosecute was never made and his release now is unjustified.
