BREAKING: Bill Cosby to be released after sexual assault conviction overturned by Pennsylvania Supreme Court. nbcnews.to/3AcTXyv
Pennsylvania Supreme Court said that a prosecutor's decision not to charge Cosby opened the door for him to speak freely in a lawsuit against him — and that testimony was key in his conviction years later by another prosecutor.
Cosby was convicted in 2018 of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004, and was serving a 3-10 year sentence.

The state Supreme Court said Cosby cannot be retried on the same charges.
