@BornToShop  Is his case now going to the Supreme Court?

I think this is why the woman figure for justice has a blindfold over her eyes.  Yeah, I think there’s a rat in the woodpile, so they say.  How long did some highly paid attorney spend digging this up?  Funny, nothing was said at his trial or sentencing.  I don’t care how old he is, or anything else, you do the crime, you serve the time.

This has zero to do with the legitimacy of criminal justice reform. You cannot compare people in prison (sometimes for life) for drug offenses or other lesser crimes to Bill Cosby. People who are lucky to get a public defender who might not even be competent to a creep who has all the money in the world for lawyers. That inequity is one reason for reform. People in prison who were unjustly convicted, that does not apply to Cosby. 

The prosecutors messed this up-period.

The New York Supreme Court. He is also being extradited to California, to face more charges there.

@MarkeieMark Well, I remember a killer who walked away in a pair of ugly az shoes--because he was rich and famous.  

And I know a guy who murdered someone I knew growing up with and he only got 7 years.  It's a game.  It's also about who you are.

There was more than one reason his conviction was overturned:

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court just ruled ... there are 2 reasons why the conviction could not stand -- the judge allowed prosecutors to call 5 other accusers during the trial, and Cosby should never have been criminally prosecuted based on an agreement he made with the former D.A.

As for the first reason ... the Pennsylvania high court ruled it was unduly prejudicial to allow 5 women with stories similar to Andrea Constand to testify, trying to show Cosby had an M.O. for drugging women and then sexually assaulting them.

The second reason was fought hard during trial ... former D.A. Bruce Castor cut a deal with Cosby that if he testified in a civil deposition he would not face trial criminally.

During that deposition, Cosby made incriminating statements about drugging women, and it was presented at trial. The Supreme Court ruled the deal was broken by prosecutors.
