    Bill Cosby freed after top court overturns sexual assault conviction.
    BBC (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 79% • 4 min read

    In a verdict issued on Wednesday, Pennsylvania's Supreme Court found there was a "process violation" because Mr. Cosby's lawyers had made an agreement with a previous state prosecutor that he would not be charged in the case. Dozens of women have publicly accused Mr. Cosby of sexual assault, but he was only tried criminally for [drugging and molesting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand].
    ...
    Local authorities knew that statute of limitation rules meant they could not pursue the majority of these accusations - but they reopened the case involving Ms. Constand and eventually charged him just days before the 12-year limit on her allegations was set to expire.
    ...
    The testimony of other accusers was then allowed during a second trial, which helped prosecutors paint a pattern of predatory behavior by Mr. Cosby. In Wednesday's ruling, the Supreme Court judges also found that testimony from accusers unrelated to the case had tainted the trial. [The court] admitted their ruling was unusual.

Context: Olympic athlete Gwen Berry turns away from US flag during anthem.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - Americans should have the right to peacefully protest injustice. Gwen Berry’s actions at the domestic qualifying event fall within that category. However, as Arthur Vandenberg famously asserted, “politics ends at the water’s edge.” To protest in this way on foreign soil while representing the United States of America is unacceptable. If she insists on doing it, the unfortunate, but correct action is to not allow her to compete under the flag of the USA.


Yes - Most definitely. If we Americans are cheering on athletes who protest authoritarian regimes such as Russia, we should be ready to ...



Unsure - I supported NFL players kneeling for the anthem as a fork of peaceful protest. I also supported the ...
