Bill Cosby's Conviction Vacated - Cosby Released
[Epoch Times] The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction, and he was released from a Pennsylvania state prison just hours later.

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections confirmed Cosby was released at around 2:30 p.m. ET, according to a tweet from the agency. Reporters on the scene said they saw the actor and comedian leave the facility and was being driven away in a white vehicle shortly afterward.

In an opinion (pdf) vacating his conviction, the Supreme Court court wrote that it found an agreement with a previous prosecutor had prevented the 83-year-old from being charged in the case.
So it's like prosecutorial misconduct?
Bruce Castor, who was the district attorney in the 2004 case, "determined that a prosecution would be frustrated because there was no corroborating forensic evidence and because testimony from other potential claimants against Cosby likely was inadmissible under governing laws of evidence," the Supreme Court wrote on Wednesday.
But that was in 2004. Cosby was convicted in 2015, thereby making up for OJ.
