Although the 82-year-old feels 'fine,' his rep says 'it's only a matter of time before Mr. Cosby's prison likely falls victim to the virus.'
Bill Cosby's lawyers are preparing to file a motion requesting he be released from prison early amid the coronavirus pandemic. The 82-year-old comedian is serving a three to 10-year sentence at SCI Phoenix in Pennsylvania, a maximum-security state facility. The news comes after unconfirmed reports that two officers have tested positive for COVID-19.
Wyatt continued,"In addition, Mr. Cosby is constantly in contact with the correction officers who could contract the disease on the outside and bring it inside the prison, potentially exposing Mr. Cosby to the virus." Wyatt added that Cosby's lawyers will likely file a motion"asking the court to release Mr. Cosby from prison and place him under house arrest for the duration of his sentence."
So, does Cosby have a valid legal argument? San Diego criminal attorney David P. Shapiro says the actor’s defense team does, but might face a different roadblock.
