Supreme Court Won’t Review Cosby Case

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The Supreme Court says it will not take up the sexual assault case against comedian Bill Cosby. The announcement Monday leaves in place a decision by Pennsylvania’s highest court to throw out his conviction and set him free from prison. The high court declined prosecutors’ request to hear the case and reinstate Cosby’s conviction. A Cosby spokesperson thanked the justices and criticized the prosecutor and judge in the case. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court last year threw out Cosby’s conviction. It said the prosecutor was bound by his predecessor’s agreement not to charge Cosby. The Supreme Court did not say anything in rejecting the case.
