Why was Bill Cosby in jail?
Cosby was found guilty of sexual assault in April 2018 at a retrial following the collapse of his first case.
He was found guilty of three counts of aggravated sexual assault and in September 2018, was sentenced to three to ten years at a Pennsylvania state prison.
The 83-year-old was accused of incapacitating Andrea Constand with blue pills.
He then allegedly molested her while she drifted in and out of consciousness at his Philadelphia mansion in 2004.
In December 2019, Cosby appealed to have his conviction overturned but lost the case.
On Wednesday, June 30, 2021, Pennsylvania's highest court overturned Cosby's conviction after finding an alleged agreement with a previous prosecutor that prevented him from being charged in the case.
He was from prison on June 30, 2021.
Back in 2018, Cosby showed no remorse for his crimes and said he would rather serve all 10 years of his sentence than admit remorse.
