Bill Cosby Released From Prison After Sexual Assault Conviction Gets Overturned
June 30, 2021
Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction was overturned Wednesday by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and the 83-year-old entertainer walked from prison a free man. The ruling, which stunned many, also bans any further prosecution in the case. The state’s highest court tossed Cosby’s conviction because of an agreement he had with a prior prosecutor that would have prevented Cosby from being criminally charged in the case, the ruling said.
