PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A lawyer for Bill Cosby asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to reject a bid by prosecutors to revive his criminal sex assault case.

The 84-year-old actor and comedian has been free since June, when a Pennsylvania appeals court overturned his conviction and released him from prison after nearly three years.

The state’s highest court found that Cosby believed he had a nonprosecution agreement with a former district attorney when he gave damaging testimony in the accuser’s 2005 lawsuit. That testimony later led to his arrest in 2015.

Cosby lawyer Jennifer Bonjean says the case rests on a narrow set of facts that should not interest the Supreme Court.

8. Well, he's got 2 sexual abusers on his side.

I'm sure Clarance and Brett will be on his side. I bet 3 more can easily enough be brought over to support a rich sexual abuser. It's not like we have good and honest people on the Supreme Court.

9. According to my lectures in Civics class,

the Supreme Court takes up cases that could have national significance, would settle conflicting decisions within the federal Circuit courts or could have precedential value.

I am not sure that this case would qualify.
