Cosby was convicted in April 2018 and was sentenced to serve three to 10 years in prison. He was released from prison on July 2 after serving roughly three years. "To be very clear, prosecutors in this case did not believe there was an agreement not to prosecute or immunity for the defendant at the time we moved forward on the case, and we do not believe it now," Steele said."If we had believed there was an agreement or immunity, we would not have moved forward in our attempt to bring Cosby to justice.
The state Supreme Court also took what it described in its 79-page ruling as a"severe and rare" step of barring prosecutors from trying Cosby again on the same charges."What we said is we're not gonna let the commonwealth, the state through the district attorneys to engage in that kind of reprehensible bait and switch and that's not to protect Bill Cosby. Nobody is sympathetic to Bill Cosby. That's to protect 13 million Pennsylvanians against that kind of conduct.
