Cosby will now get to appeal two crucial elements of the conviction, which Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court announced on Tuesday, June, 23.
Cosby’s spokesman Andrew Wyatt responded to the Supreme Court’s decision and connected it to the continued protests for racial justice that have been happening since May.
Constand also released a statement and told Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court not to be influenced by Cosby’s money and celebrity.
“I have no doubt that the Supreme Court of PA will do the right thing and not allow Cosby’s wealth, fame and fortune to win an escape from his maleficent, malignant and downright criminal past and seek justice at all costs,” she stated.
Cosby’s conviction was upheld last year by the Superior Court of Pennsylvania after he claimed he’d received an unfair trial.
