It was the previous prosecutor that screwed up, refusing to prosecute him for rape, apparently.
Edit: he struck a deal not to prosecute him. What on earth was he doing?

My understanding is
It was agreed that he went on trial and was accused by one woman in that trial the jury reached deadlock so they showed evidence from other accusers A judge has over turned the guilty verdict saying Cosby had an unfair trial Last edited by thesheriff443; 30-06-2021 at 10:50 PM. |

[Bill Cosby has left prison hours after his sexual assault conviction was overturned by Pennsylvania's Supreme Court. The judges said there had been a "process violation" by the prosecution, but admitted their ruling was unusual. Mr Cosby, 83, served more than two years of a three to 10-year sentence at a state prison near Philadelphia. In 2018 he was found guilty of drugging and molesting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand. Mr Cosby is best known for starring in the 1980s TV series The Cosby Show and was once known as "America's Dad". Dozens of women have publicly accused Mr Cosby of sexual assault, but he was only tried criminally for the incident against Ms Constand. His conviction in 2018 was widely seen as a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57671012 |

there were 2 procedural issues with the case, one of which was an agreement that he wouldn't be prosecuted for that particular case. The prosecutor probably wanted details of that case so that others could be prosecuted, but it never ended up that way. It's crazy, but they do it usually to obtain guilty verdicts on other crimes

…what a saddening situation that there can’t be proper justice here…and all because of money and a settlement…it seems to be because there was a civil lawsuit and in that civil lawsuit which Andrea Constand sued Bill Cosby for sexual battery and defamation and received an undisclosed financial settlement …part of that settlement was a confidentiality agreement and that compromised any future criminal trial so now justice has had to be overturned basically….what an absolute farce and betrayal to rape victims….Wealth buying immunity from justice even with rape when victims have been drugged to immobility…?….seriously saddening beyond words….everyone involved in this should hang their heads in shame, women are nothing to them…

This is why people are petrified to come forward.
Brave women who this man raped and violated finally had the chance to face their demons and get some form of justice and he gets just 2 years of incarceration while these poor victims have spent their entire lives of trauma. I know I'd think twice about speaking out if the result was just two years. I'd wonder if going through the process and awful memory's was worth it.

in reality he shouldn't have served any jail time at all, it wouldn't surprise me if he files a compensation claim for improper imprisonment, and that would be a new low

he doesn't look like that at all unlike Kevin Spacey and that Weinstein loser, and not to forget the greatest monster of them all, Jeffrey Epstein with his henchman Prince Andrew i've always liked Mr Cosby enjoyed watching The Cosby Show as a child (yes in my childhood it also aired here in my nation's tv channels)
