Bill Cosby just got out of prison on some really unusual sounding technicality.....

I was curious why it was overturned, too.

Skimming the decision, it appears that one DA offered Cosby immunity from criminal prosecution if he would testify at civil trial. He accepted the deal. Then she retired, and a future DA not only brought criminal charges against Cosby, but used his civil testimony against him. It's pretty damn likely he never would have testified in the first place if they hadn't promised not to bring charges.

Not a fan of Cosby (and he does "deserve" prison, in the moral sense), but this reasoning for overturning the conviction isn't clearly a miscarriage of justice. (It was close, basically a 4-3 decision.)

The problem of course is the use of the term "miscarriage of justice".  I am reminded of everyone "knowing" OJsimpson was guilty, yet he was acquitted...

The fact that cosby has been released on a "technicality" can seem a miscarriage of justice, but in fact is merely a correction.

The fact that the specific crime was tried and the perpetrator convicted of the crime, jailed and freed, is the miscarriage of justice.  Freed or incarcerated; either way is a miscarriage of justice. 
 
Nonetheless cosby's reputation is trash.

As of today, it's legal to possess an ounce of weed in the commonwealth of Virginia, albeit, the laws having to do with use, sales, & growing, etc. are still a bit convoluted..........

cereberus- Nicki Clyne is trying to create a post NXIVM persona as this woman who "doesn't see herself as a victim" and its just sad. She may never come to terms with the whole sordidness of what happened

227 years is fine, so long as she doesn't come with any bees  :wink:
