Comedian Bill Cosby Released From Prison

 

Hollywood actor, Bill Cosby, will be released from prison after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his 2018 s*xual assault conviction, finding fault with the way that prosecutors pursued a case against him after earlier declining to file charges.

A representative for Cosby is already on route to pick up the actor from prison and is expected to see him released by mid-afternoon Eastern time, ABC reports.


Cosby was sentenced in September 2018 to three to 10 years in state prison for allegedly drugging and s*xually assaulting former Temple University employee Andrea Constand in 2004.

The 83-year-old actor, who has been serving time at Pennsylvania’s State Correctional Institution at Phoenix, has maintained that they engaged in consensual relations.

Last year, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed to hear two points in Cosby's appeal to overturn his 2018 s*xual assault conviction.

One was the admission into trial of "prior bad acts" witnesses and Cosby's 2005-2006 quaalude deposition. The appeal argued that the trial judge erred in allowing Cosby's prior deposition about using quaaludes during consensual s*xual encounters with women in the 1970s at trial.
