You read the headline correctly, The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has overturned Bill Cosby's sex assault conviction prompting his immediate release from prison. After serving two years into a three to ten years sentence, the state's highest court tossed Cosby's conviction, and rightly so. The man should have never been convicted in the first place.
Details of the ruling are here via TMZ: CONVICTION THROWN OUT... HE WILL GO FREE.
News of his release is rapidly trending on Twitter and there are some very angry white people. Tariq Nasheed tweeted some things and they got in their feelings in the comments.
Bill Cosby will finally be released after that racist ass witch-hunt sentence that never should have happened in the first place

The bogus conviction against Bill Cosby was rightfully overturned because pulling illegal and unconstitutional maneuvers within the court system, to facilitate monetary shake downs, is mockery of the judicial system

Bill Cosby is being released because the white supremacist culture of white women falsely accusing Black men of rape is a travesty of justice and it minimizes real cases

If a person is guilty of a crime they are being accused of, the prosecutors would not have to engage in all types of illegal and unconstitutional maneuvers to get a conviction.

This is why Bill Cosby is being released
This Bill Cosby case is really about suspected white supremacists having the power to use the “I’m white and I say so” rule to falsely accuse Black people of crimes.

If you look at the comments you will see there's a lot of pushback. We fully support Bill Cosby as we are a Black-owned publication and do not in any way condone the railroading and draconian sentencing that only happens to Black people. If you don't like this, there are plenty of publications that do.
