The comic was freed from the prison after having been there for 3 years.

The court’s decision comes down to 79 pages of text, which contains all the testimonies of witnesses and a lot of other equally important information.

Cosby admitted in court that he had paid for Quaaludes to use it against women who testified in court as victims, but his immunity did not allow the case to develop. Constand was the only one whose case was not expired and the case could be considered in a criminal procedure.
