PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bill Cosby has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a bid by Pennsylvania prosecutors to revive his criminal sex assault case.

The 84-year-old Cosby has been free since June.

That's when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his conviction and released him from prison.

The state's highest court found that Cosby believed he had a nonprosecution agreement with a former district attorney when he gave damaging testimony that later led to his arrest.

Prosecutors say there's no evidence of a binding immunity agreement.

"This decision as it stands will have far-reaching negative consequences beyond Montgomery County and Pennsylvania," said Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele.

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

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Prosecutors are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review Bill Cosby’s sexual assault case and restore his conviction.

They believe the Pennsylvania Supreme Court erred when it overturned Cosby’s conviction in June and released the 84-year-old actor from prison.

In a petition released Monday, they wrote that courts should not equate a decision announced in a press release to lifetime immunity.

The state’s high court says Cosby relied on a promise he would never be charged when he gave damaging testimony that was later used against him.

Cosby was convicted of drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004.

He spent nearly three years in prison before his conviction was overturned.

In response to the request from the prosecutors, a spokesperson for Cosby said the district attorney's office is "unwilling to accept its epic loss," CNN reports.
