Court overturns Bill Cosby’s sex assault conviction

Pennsylvania’s highest court says an agreement with a previous prosecutor prevented him from being charged in the case.

The US State of Pennsylvania’s highest court overturned Bill Cosby’s sex assault conviction on Wednesday after finding an agreement with a previous prosecutor prevented him from being charged in the case. The court ordered he be released from prison. Cosby has served more than two years of a three- to 10-year sentence at a state prison near Philadelphia. He had vowed to serve all 10 years rather than acknowledge any remorse over the 2004 encounter with accuser Andrea Constand.
