Supreme Court announces that it will not review Bill Cosby’s overturned conviction (Update)
Last year, Pennsylvania prosecutors asked the Supreme Court to review Bill Cosby’s overturned conviction in his sexual assault case. On Monday, the court ruled and decided not to review the case, replacing the previous decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
According to Related pressOn Monday, the Supreme Court announced their decision not to review the overturned conviction without comment, making Cosby a free man, and ending his fight at court, after being accused of sexually assaulting several women over the years. Cosby was released from prison last June after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled a “non-prosecution agreement” with a prosecutor should have previously prevented him from being criminally charged in the case.
Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt commented on the Supreme Court’s recent decision and said, “This is indeed a victory for Mr Cosby, but it shows that cheating will never get you going. far in life, and the corruption that lies within the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office has been brought to the center stage of the world.”
Like us before Reportedly, last November, Pennsylvania prosecutors filed a petition asking the US Supreme Court to review whether the deal made by then-prosecutor Bruce Castor, where he allegedly promised not to file The criminal charges against Bill if he testifies in a civil action should be handled or not. as “an exemption.”
The office of Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said there was “no evidence that Cosby had a legally binding agreement that he could never be prosecuted.” It was also noted that Castor did not put the agreement in writing nor told anyone in his office about it. The reported deal was only publicly mentioned after new evidence emerged.
After Cosby was released from prison, many accusers came forward, alleging that they had been sexually assaulted by the veteran comedian/actor. Last October, the actress Lili Bernard sued and filed suit after she alleges that she was sexually assaulted in 1990.
