He's being released because the prosecutor used a bullshit character attack strategy.
Considering this information, it's honestly shocking that he was convicted at all. Did he/his lawyers not remember/realise he had immunity until after the trial? How was this not bought up then? How was the case not immediately dead in the water?
The malaise instilled in the general public by the media zeitgeist to cast people in an evil light is bigger than judicial law.
It doesn't matter what the truth is, only what the media wants you to believe.
They did bring it up but the judge overruled their objections to the admission of the incriminating evidence.
That being said, as far as I can tell. He admitted to obtaining Qualuudes to use on Chicks. He had immunity for making that statement.
Great to have good lawyers I guess.
I mean, it was the 70's. People popped ludes recreationally and having some to share was definitely a way to pick up peeps in the club scene.
yeah "use on chicks" is something that can easily be morphed from "use with chicks" if you're a journalist.
I guess I would need to know the context of how he said it. Did he use it to use "on them secretly without their knowledge" or as a drug to use with them because it was the 70s.... That is a significant difference.
I don't know I didn't follow the trial. I just need more info on that statement.
Run that by me again. Cosby made statements in civil court, presumably a "he said she said" case with himself and some of his accusers.
The prosecutor took the statements he made there, and used them as evidence in criminal court, under a completely different crime, after explicitly promising not to do so in Cosby's immunity agreement.
