PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pennsyl- vania’s highest court threw out Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction and released him from prison Wednesday in a stunning reversal of fortune for the comedian once known as “Ameri- ca’s Dad,” ruling that the prosecutor who brought the case was bound by his predecessor’s agreement not to charge Cosby. Cosby, 83, has served nearly three years of a three- to 10-year sentence after being found guilty of drugging and violating Temple University sports administrator Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. He was the first celebrity tried and convicted in the #MeToo era. The former “Cosby Show” star was arrested in 2015, when a district attor- ney armed with newly unsealed evi- dence — the comic’s damaging deposi- tion in a lawsuit brought by Constand — brought charges against him days before the 12-year statute of limita- tions ran out. But the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said that District Attorney Kev- in Steele, who made the decision to arrest Cosby, was obligated to stand by his predecessor’s promise not to charge Cosby. There was no evidence that promise was ever put in writing.
