bill cosby replies, yes. and that was part of what this hinged on, he admitted it in this deposition. but you're saying that now that that shouldn't have been allowed in his criminal trial? >> well, that's what the court has now found, that it should not have been allowed. i want to be very clear in the language that we use here. it is one thing to show the magazine cover of all the women who have accused bill cosby. it's also a different leap to go to who actually was able to testify at the trial. we know that made a difference here, not to minimize anyone's allegations. but it made a difference in how the trial court allowed people to actually testify to substantiate and buttress the credibility of the testimony of andrea constand, who was the one victim whose actual case was before that particular trial jury. and so it's important to make sure we distinguish because it's important for looking up a deposition in terms of when we talk about the admissions that he made. at all times bill cosby has denied, as

say although the cdo they say would argue, the remedy for all of this would include subjecting bill cosbya third criminal trial. the court responds that is no remedy at all. rather the judge says it is an approach that will place cosby nowhere near where he was before the due process violation took root, and that goes into what i mentioned earlier here about the fruit of the poisonous tree which is that in the criminal justice system, they say if the fruit is poisoned of a tree, that everything that flows from that tree is subsequently poisoned and have to go back to the original source, the original painting of whether it be evidence or hear of the entire unfairness impediment to due process, you have to go right to the source and restoring that defendant, restoring that person back to before that all occurred, so here the court is arguing that this does not mean a third trial, because i would put them right back into the same shoes which is subjected to a due process violation, instead, they say the only available remedy is to vacate the judgment and integrity. he is a free man and cann

of sexually assaulting her. >> yes, and the judge made the determination then not to prosecute bill cosby because of the length of time that elapsed between the time of the crime and the time she came forward. so he said that he made a deal with cosby that he would testify without the 5th amendment right, and he makes this agreement, and then goes forward without prosecuting him on the case of andrea constant. and that is the words that were used against him in the criminal suit. so there were five other women whose crimes were not charged, but five other people who testified against bill cosby showing a pattern of abuse of women, and the supreme court said that tainted the jury, and those were the two issues on which they found that the conviction had to be overturned. bill cosby has to be immediately released from prison, and that should happen later today, and that he cannot be retried on the charges can, geoff. >> and kate snow, this has to be a devastating day not just for andrea constant, but for the more than 50 women who have accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior of varying

bill cosby is about to be a free man. the pennsylvania state supreme court moments ago vacated the 83-year-old's sex assault conviction. he was convicted of three counts in 2018. his case was an early flash point in the me too movement. again, just moments ago the court overturned bill cosby's conviction. with us is brynn gingras. what do we know about this bombshell ruling? >> reporter: this is the opinion we're going through right now to get the fine details. like you said, the supreme court, the state's highest court in pennsylvania, vacating his conviction and judgment of sentence according to st the pennsylvania courts. we're still trying to figure out does that mean he's going to be leaving prison today. we'll get these answers for you. we're learning four judges were in favor of this, two part in favor, two part not in favor and one who filed a dissent entirely. we'll bring you details as soon as we know them. to give more background, again, he was convicted back in 2018 for aggravated incident assault. he was only

tell us more about this agreement that bill cosby had with this prosecutor. yes. _ cosby had with this prosecutor. yes. an old agreement and _ cosby had with this prosecutor. 133 an old agreement and it was cosby had with this prosecutor. 13.1 an old agreement and it was one under which the officials in charge and agreed not to actually bring charges against bill cosby, you mentioned as well there was this mistrial as aware, the first child was deadlocked and then the second and the first child, the judge allowed allowed evidence from one of the accusing a bill cosby, in the retrial, five other people are allowed to give evidence and we just heard from your previous interviewee that those were not interested in is that those were not interested in is that directly related to the matter in hand, namely whether bill cosby was guilty of sexually also thing in drugging the woman in question number so the supreme court has ruled that he was basically denied a fair trial and he as you are saying expected to be released from prison and today. prosecutors are not saying y

was occupied by another prosecutor who should have followed through with that promise and causes bill cosby not to assert his bill of rights. the first prosecutor said i'll tell him i won't prosecute and -- the court said it's all about due process. he gave up his fifth amendment rights and given a promise not to be prosecuted, and that wasn't honored, so that's really the gist of the opinion and the most important part of the opinion and, of course, we have the other acts of evidence, other bad acts and they didn't like that either. they said especially in sexual assault case, the character type of evidence is going too far. >> anne thompson, this was widely seen this, trial, this conviction was widely seen as a watershed moment in the me -- too moment and era and it had broader implications just for the discourse of justice for the wealthy and the powerful. can you reflect on that for a moment as someone who covered this trial and somebody who covered this extensively and knowing what we know and the reaction that we're hearing from stephanie gosk and the other reporting that we have and

obviously, bill cosby has a right to remain silent not to incriminate himself. essentially, the court said, when the district attorney said he would not be prosecuted, he no longer had that fifth amendment privilege and he had to testify in the civil case. so when a new district attorney decided to prosecute him, it was essentially a bait and switch. the court went further than that. they did not to say those statements in the civil case are inadmissible, but you can retry bill cosby, district attorney's office. they said, no, no, no. you actually have a deal here, a deal not to prosecute bill cosby something you see. if you have a deal, it is either a plea agreement, nonprosecution agreement, immunity, something. a press release has never been an agreement for the purposes of criminal prosecution. >> is there something nefarious going on? it seems like a backdoor deal in some way, or is this really what is allowed to happen? >> bruce castro has gotten a lot of like because he was not only the district attorney for this case, let's not forget, he was also trump'

bill cosby is officially a free man. a short time ago, we're told he left prison after the pennsylvania state supreme court over t overturned his sexual assault conviction citing he was denied fair trial. he was found guilty in 2018 of three counts of sex crimes. joining us now, cnn correspondent and cnn legal analyst and joey jackson. let's start here. the court argued there was a vast valation of cosby's due process rights when he was charged. what does that mean? >> it goes back to a deal he made with the district attorney. he was on the former president's legal team and the higher court was saying this none-prosecution agreement sort of paved the way for cosby to sit down in a civil deposition. the testimony in that civil deposition was incriminating and essentially used against him when charges were brought forth later by a different district attorney. the higher court said that wasn't fair. we're getting reaction from all around as this really has just breaking. we got this opinion just before 1:00 and now we're ta

bill cosby is now 83 years old. he was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman at his home in 2004 but accused of drugging and raping dozens of women over several decades. it's down to his fifth amendment rights when he said he would not testify in a civil suit that was prosecuted on the testimony. today the judge ruled that the conviction in the judgment are vacated and he is discharge. legal experts have been weighing in on social media. his tv wife from the hit sitcom the cosby show speaking out in his defense. felicia rashad saying a terrible wrong has been righted. attorney lisa bloom who represented some of the accusers does not want to tell them of the ugly truth. they say it massively favors the rich and the powerful. unit a superhuman level of strength incurred. many victims habit she says and any other cosby victims, it's time to come forward. helen haze is one of the women who publicly accused cosby of drugging her and raping her. she lives in marin county. we have an interview with her right now. we wil

and we're following bill cosby. he's getting ready to make a statement. now a representative speaking about this, the district attorney. the pennsylvania supreme court ordered william h. cosby released from prison and now goes free on a procedural issue that is irrelevant to the facts of the crime. this is a statement from kevin steele, the prosecutor in the case. my hope is that this decision will not dampen the reporting of sexual assaults by victims. prosecutors in my office will continue to follow the evidence wherever and whoever it leads. we still believe that no one is above the law including those that are rich, famous and powerful. stay with us. they said it couldn't be done but you managed to pack a record 1.1 trillion transistors into this chip whoo! yeah! oh, hi i invested in invesco qqq a fund that invests in the innovators of the nasdaq 100 like you you don't have to be circuit design engineer to help push progress forward can i hold the chip? become an agent of innovation with invesco qqq with less moderate-to-severe eczema why hide your ski

and then, as you said, bill cosby, a prosecution, a successful prosecution bill cosby was seen as a major moment in, in the me to movement that was finally felt trying to hold powerful men to account. and obviously as a result of this, of this judgment, once again, there are, there is a sense that we're seeing already at least and social media and elsewhere that once again, a powerful man who clearly have incriminated himself the wrong doing is once again go to walk free, she, i'm thank you for that. she ever tansy life for us there in washington smith discuss this further now with claire finkelstein, who's faculty director of the center for ethics and the rule of law, the university of pennsylvania. and she's joining us via skype from philadelphia. thank you very much for being with us. a bit complicated for, for some of us who are not, you know, into these legal matters and help us understand oldest claire, if you can this decision by the high court in pennsylvania today saying that because we didn't get a fair trial was this because of a technicality or more of a more risk extensive is

according to a cosby family spokesperson, bill cosby may be making a statement soon. we'll bring that to you live if it happens. cosby was released from prison shortly after the ruling this afternoon. he arrived at his home outside philadelphia just a few moments ago. cosby was sentenced in september 2018 to ten years in a state prison after a jury found him guilty of sexual assault for drugging and sexually assaulting andrea constand at his home outside philly in 2004. what was pivotal in today's ruling by the pennsylvania supreme court was a deal made back then by the man who was then the district attorney of montgomery county, pennsylvania, bruce castor. castor had announced that cosby would not be prosecuted back then. let's bring in cnn's brin. castor then the district attorney of montgomery county, he did not think he could successfully bring a case against cosby over constand's allegations, but also he thought that by announcing publicly that there would not be a prosecution, he was helping andrea constand. explain how. >> yeah. and essentially, jake, he told cn

i'm fully back to bow with the headlines on al jazeera, pennsylvania's high court has overturned bill cosby sexual assault, conviction, and ordered that he be released from prison. the american actor was convicted in 2018. he was accused of drugging and assaulting a woman in his home. cosby had served more than 2 years of a potential 3 to 10 year sentence.

bill cosby was as he was once dubbed america's dad. the cosby show meant a lot to so many of us. it was a positive portrayal of an affluent black family at a time when most depictions of black people in american culture were poor working class families and the news was dominated with headlines about crime and the crack epidemic. his spokesman called his release "justice for black america." seriously? i don't know about that. but even though it was devastating to listen to, the accusations against cosby, some going as far back as the 1960s, were impossible to dismiss, more and more women came forward throughout the years with 60, 60 accusing of allegations ranging from groping to sexual assault to rape. "dateline" spoke with some of the women. >> how many of you believe you were drugged by bill cosby. how many of you believe bill cosby raped you? >> i was drugged and raped. >> i was sexually assaulted and drugged by him. >> he flipped me over and raped me. i know that i was drugged. >> and very quickly the room started spinning. >> and i was just holding my head because i didn't k

is bill cosby going to be released in hours? >> that's unclear at the moment. ow how quickly this is going to happen, but obviously this is something that cosby and his supporters have been fighting for for years, which is why they have appealed this all the way up to the pennsylvania supreme court. you know, we do know that he was so defiant in jail, in prison, that he wasn't participating in the treatment programs that were designated by the court that he had to because he did not want to admit publicly or privately or inference he was guilty of anything. while during his time in prison he has made that stand. but in terms of how quickly this will happen, we don't know. i do know that i think there will be a very negative and strong emotional reaction from women around the country who were -- who had accused cosby of other crimes and that, as i'm reading the opinion, seems to be the central part of this decision by the supreme court that -- and cosby had maintained this all along that trial was not fair, that it wasn't fair to let other women speak out who --

his 2018 conviction, as you probably know by know, bill cosby was released from prison this afternoonn a technicality. constand reacted to the decision to release cosby saying, quote, today's majority decision regarding bill cosby is not only disappointing but of concern and it may discourage those who seek justice for sexual assault in the criminal justice system from reporting or participating in the prosecution of the assailant or may force a victim to choose between filing a criminal complaint. gloria allred, your reaction to the ruling by the pennsylvania supreme court. >> this decision by the pennsylvania supreme court to overturn the conviction of bill cosby is certainly devastating to many of the bill cosby accusers. my heart especially goes out to those who bravely testified in both of those criminal cases. and i did represent the majority of the prior bad accusers who testified in these criminal cases against mr. cosby. and despite the pennsylvania supreme court's decision, this was and still is an important fight for justice. and even though the court overturned the convict

they cannot go after bill cosby anymore., there's a small window of possibility that the federal government, the department of justice, could charge bill cosby. i think it's very unlikely. they rarely get involved in these type of state rape cases, but that's a possibility, though very unlikely. >> o'donnell: and just quickly and finally, this is taking place as we say in the #metoo era when those who have committed either sexual assault or sexual assault harassment are to be held accountable more than ever. is this going to effect the movement in that direction? is this providing some sort of -- do you believe it will provide some sort of chilling effect? >> judy, absolutely. this is a huge blow and a setback for the #metoo movement. we know as prosecutors that sexual assault is by far and away the most underreported crime in this country. victims are hesitant to come forward. when they do, prosecutors don't take these cases, even though they are righous cases because they're afraid of losing because of proof issues. now yo

so many women have told the same story about bill cosby. so there may be some other charges to come, but as we know it now with this particular case, he cannot be tried and he is already $83.00. so i'm not sure how long it would take them to come up with some other case with some other evidence. be able to present that. be able to get a jury to say yes, we think there's enough for a charge and then have that play out. that would take quite some time. so i'm not sure where that would stand. yeah, it's an amazing turn of events that is for sure. keeping matthews in los angeles, k g, as always. thank you. thank you. what we stay in north america. an extreme heat wave sweeping across western canada is causing dozens of deaths and breaking records as temperatures fit. $49.00 degrees celsius, that's a $120.00 degrees fahrenheit. cooling centers have been set up to give people some relief and the sweltering heat. it is forecast to continue. a prolonged, dangerous, and historic heat wave engulfing western canada has already caused dozens of death .

, bill cosby told us, himself who he really is.se other 57 people, those other women who as guy pointed out, statutes of limitations running out, maybe accountability through this one woman who got out of there ahead of the hash tagging and the movement, she put herself out there, but because prosecutors would cut a deal not to prosecute him, then next set of prosecutors the judge looks and says, she made a promise to him way back when it it doesn't matter that he said the self-incriminating facts of how awful he was. essentially dangerous drug in people and assaulting them. the lesson here for all of us as americans, the lesson is actually a reminder that in our criminal justice system, due process trumps all and that's with the judge emphasized here and essentially said that look, the impact of the due process violation here is so fast, the only remedy available is to vacate and the other side was arguing back. we will re-try him, the judge said absolutely not, they can never bring criminal charges on these charges again and they

>> yes, but bill cosby is not the bill cosby he was before. he did spend time in jail. time is time. he can never get that back. he has become this infamous person versus a famous person and he's going to have to deal with that. his consequences aren't over. he still has to walk through all of this shame and all of this people's feelings and emotions that are related to this and hopefully, this is just the beginning of him having to deal with the consequences. changing more laws. getting more situations, you know, out into the open. victims coming forward in outrage and saying their truth and allowing people to make changes so they can be heard and have their rights. this just tells you again that we still have this some of these people still have this small thinking and again, it's just a technicality. it does not make him innocent in any way whatsoever. he did what he did. he admitted what he did on tape. you guys played that. used it in court. he did it. he's just walking around acting like he's innocent to everything and he's not. >> he didn't speak in that press co

and just like that, bill cosby was free. his scar, sped by the walls of the pennsylvania prison, in which he served 2 years of a 3 to 10 year sentence before arriving at his home in nearby norristown. after being helped from the car, cosby gave the camera signal v for victory. his attorney was similarly triumphant. i am thrilled and i am pleased at the pennsylvania supreme court. what we knew all along, which was that mister car never should have been prosecuted, was driven by politics. were quite pleased that the pennsylvania supreme court seems impervious to what is going on on the outside world. and all of that pressure that was placed on the criminal justice system from. busy the me to movement help bring cosby on the scrutiny. he was one of a number of high profile men in show business accused of using their power to exploit and sexually assault women. but only one case against cosby went to court, the alleged drugging and molestation of andrea concerned. the crushing of that conviction as re ignited debate over the abi

that is on the record from bill cosby.you truly believe in victims rights and you want justice for victims you have to believe that the technicalities matter, you have to get rid of the mob, you have to take out the emotional side of this because in the end that people who are going to suffer are the victims of something that bill cosby admitted to doing and there are cases like this that play out all the time as a result of emotion getting into the courtroom or prosecutors not doing their job the right way on the victims who have spent decades of their life trying to get what they deserve in terms of some kind of justice for crimes that were committed against them that all goes away in the blink of an eye, like today because the things weren't done the right way. i believe that is a good thing that the system has all of these protections built in for the accused and it's up to and has a responsibility of the prosecutors and the judges end of a jury to stick to the rules we have in the constitution in order to protect the
