He can also not be prosecuted again. For THIS one. There are others. If I understood this correctly, this case was only about a single sexual assault against one particular woman. There are plenty of others. Wouldn't it be nice if the press really leaves him alone. Like in total silence. Ignores his existence completely. No interviews. No comments. Leaves him in a big dark deep hole until someone else prosecutes him or he dies. Whichever comes first. Good to know. I wonder though if others will stay quiet because of this. |

This is a true fail on the justice system. I’m so disheartened by this.

I live not far from the prison where he is housed. Apparently it’s a media frenzy over there, including several helicopters.
I’m glad I don’t watch the news anymore because I just don’t want to see it, such a disgrace.

I, too, am beyond disgusted. With both Cosby and with the f-ing lawyer who made the deal in the first place that paved the way to this dismissal.
I understand why they overturned the verdict: it was based on testimony he gave when told that he could not/would not be prosecuted for what he said in the deposition. That is the fault of the prosecutor.
He is guilty as f&ck. And I understand why the court did what it did. Sometimes important information comes out in protected depositions (think about Michael Cohen & others re:Trump’s financial dealings, for example) and the courts need to uphold those deals when they are made.

It's disgusting. All those women told their story and this is what they get in justice. Sickening.

Lord, I read that whole decision, and I do not think I have ever read a decision with a longer fact section.
This is 100% on the prosecutors.

I just read it and I am sick.
My next thought is I wonder if he will walk out of prison with his white cane and hanging on the arm of whoever is picking him up.
I wish we would stop giving air time to criminals.

I signed in to air my disgust. I'm sick for his victims. It feels like the wheels of justice do not turn fairly for sexual assault victims.

I am so disgusted about this. Fault of the prosecutors or not, it is such a kick in the gut to his victims and sexual assault victims in general. Who can blame women for not wanting to speak up when s$%& like this happens.   |

That would have never happened if he were a "regular" person instead of a celebrity. So wrong!

i just read about this. wow, what a turn of events! i absolutely think he should stay in jail but if that previous prosecutor made that deal with him, it should be honored. if bill cosby held up his end of the deal by testifying, the prosecution should hold up theirs. doing otherwise would put doubt in people's faith in the office. i don't think they should have made the deal in the first place. I agree. While we know he is guilty, his due process rights were violated and its important that they are honored - even when I think he's guilty as fuck. The previous DA is to blame for this, 1000%. I feel horrible for his victims, but this had to happen even if I think Cosby should be rotting in hell. |

HE DID IT. that will never change. the evidence is there. it's the procedural issue that triggered his release. the only reason justice was not served was because the previous prosecutor agreed not to prosecute him in exchange for his testimony. he held up his end, they should be required to hold up theirs no matter how guilty he is. |

He is out because the prosecutor made a deal with him, NOT because he is innocent.

I am in shock that so many on social media feel he was innocent and should have never been locked up. 😳 Others saying he needs to use his power to help others get second chances. I’ve seen this too. 😨🥴 He didn’t get found not guilty - he got out on a technicality. Huge difference. |

I feel sick. I feel for his victims. This is the reason people don't report sex crimes. I am disgusted. Because of previous agreements with prosecutors? Ultimately, it is incumbent upon the prosecution to follow the law amd due process. When they dont, convictions are overturned. His (alleged) crimes have been brought to light and now people know exactly who he is. |

However, there's always that one (or one hundred) who want to be the first with the story and don't care a thing about right or wrong of giving publicity to rapists. I am sick about this. |

He served three years. Thought not the full sentence he received, it was still solid jail time his money couldn't make more comfortable or luxurious. It's something. |

I can’t believe a DA would do this but since he did then they should honor it. I had forgotten how many women came forward and didn’t realize that he actually confessed to giving them the drug but I looked it up snd yes he did. Since he admitted he did this why and how can anyone stand behind him.
I feel so bad for all of the women that came forward and I bet there are some that didn’t come forward. If there were 58 that came forward I would bet there were quite a few more that didn’t want to go public and be put through a court case.
