Pennsylvania Supreme Court Overturns Bill Cosby Conviction

A news report details the release of Bill Cosby from prison after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his sexual assault conviction involving Andrea Constant. The legal reasoning centered on a 2005 agreement with a former district attorney who promised not to prosecute Cosby in exchange for his testimony in a civil trial. The court ruled that using this self-incriminating testimony in a later criminal trial violated Cosby's Fifth Amendment rights.
