Supreme Court will not review decision that freed Bill Cosby from prison

The Supreme Court will not review the sexual assault case against Bill Cosby, leaving in place a decision by Pennsylvania’s highest court that vacated the comedian's 2018 indecent assault conviction and freed him from prison in June.

The high court on Monday declined a request from prosecutors to hear the case and reinstate the conviction. 

Andrew Wyatt, a spokesperson for Bill Cosby, called the decision "a victory."

“On behalf of Mr. & Mrs. Cosby and the Cosby family, we would like to offer our sincere gratitude to the justices of the United States Supreme Court for following the rules of law and protecting the Constitutional Rights of ALL American Citizens of these United States,” he said.
