Bill Cosby's Prison Release 'Does Not Vindicate His Conduct:' Gloria Allred

Bill Cosby was freed from prison after his conviction for sexually assaulting a Temple University employee in 2004 was overturned by Pennsylvania’s highest court, in a startling epilogue to a case that became an emblem of the #MeToo movement. Cosby was released from Phoenix state prison outside Philadelphia, where he’s served two years, nine months of a prison sentence of up to 10 years. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the state violated his rights when it failed to follow through on an agreement not to prosecute him. The court said Cosby, 83, can’t be retried on the charges. “There is only one remedy that can completely restore Cosby to the status quo ante,” Justice David Wecht wrote for a majority of the court. “He must be discharged, and any future prosecution on these particular charges must barred. We do not dispute that this remedy is both severe and rare. But it is warranted here, indeed compelled.” Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm Bloomberg Quicktake brings you live global news and original shows spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
