The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to consider reinstating Bill Cosby’s 2018 sexual assault conviction, effectively ending a nearly two-decade legal saga that briefly saw the 84-year-old comedian incarcerated.
Cosby was found guilty by a Montgomery County jury in 2018 of drugging and assaulting accuser Andrea Constand in his Elkins Park home in 2004.
However, last year, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the verdict, saying Cosby’s prosecution violated a deal he had struck a decade earlier with then-District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr.
