Bill Cosby to be released from prison after conviction overturned

[reality]

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania vacated Bill Cosby’s 2018 conviction and judgement of sentence, according Stacey Witalec, a spokesperson for Pennsylvania Courts.

The majority opinion stated “Cosby convictions and judgement of sentence are vacated and he is discharged,” Witalec told CNN as she read from the majority opinion.

The court was split on its judgment with four in favor, two part in favor, part not in favor, and one who filed a dissent entirely.

The decision cannot appealed by the prosecution in the state of Pennsylvania.

When asked if Cosby can be released from prison today, Witalec deferred to the prisons department.

Cosby was sentenced in 2018 to 10 years in a state prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home 14 years ago.

"When Bill Cosby was charged, he was charged with the sexual assault of one victim, that Temple University employee. ... Prosecutors said we want to call up to five other victims, not the ones who are charged here, but five other victims, to establish a pattern.... The judge let them do that, and now the Supreme Court has said that went too far. These other five victims were not the subjects of the charged indictment, and they went beyond establishing a pattern. They went to the point where it was what we call prejudicial to the defense. So that's the legal basis for the ruling here."

Looks like a fair decision, if he is really innocent.

He's not innocent by his own admission. Problem is he made a deal with previous prosecutor to make depositions in civil case which will not be used in any other case. New prosecutor said aath care and used those depositions to prosecute him criminally and also allowed unrelated people to testify. SC of PA basically said those depositions should not have been used and released. Legally it's the right thing.
