Bill Cosby’s release prompts outrage from celebrity supporters of #MeToo and Time’s Up: 'I am furious'
News of Bill Cosby’s release from prison Wednesday – after his sexual assault conviction was overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court – reverberated through Hollywood. The state’s highest court threw out the disgraced actor’s conviction after finding that District Attorney Kevin Steele, the prosecutor who brought the case against Cosby, violated an agreement to not charge him, a deal that previous District Attorney Bruce Castor had made in 2005, though it had apparently never been put in writing. Cosby, 83, was released from SCI Phoenix in Collegeville, Penn., outside Philadelphia, just before 2:30 p.m, state corrections officials told Fox News.
