Cosby -- A Free Man -- Doesn't Want His Sex Assault Case Reopened: AP
Bill Cosby's lawyer has asked the US Supreme Court in a 15-page letter on Monday not to reopen the criminal sexual assault case against him following a bid to do so, according to a report by the Associated Press.

Cosby's rights were violated when a non-prosecution agreement with a prosecutor found he shouldn't have been criminally prosecuted, according to the website of his lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean. Noting that Cosby's holding will com…

That rules out Cosby, 82, who’s serving a three- to 10-year sentence in a state prison outside Philadelphia for drugging and sexually assa…
