The convicted rapist Bill Cosby hopes to free himself from prison this year.

Full story below…  

The disgraced actor’s legal team wants him to be released from prison early because he fears he will be struck by the Coronavirus if he remains behind bars!

Their argument?

Mr. Cosby’s lawyers are now considering filing a motion asking the court to release Mr. Cosby from prison and place him under house arrest for the duration of his sentence. Specifically, the lawyers are focusing on whether states are granting early release to elderly inmates from prisons due to the Coronavirus — which could be a valid legal argument for Mr. Cosby.

He is supposed to serve ten years for the horrific crime he committed against Andrea Constand in 2004 but now hopes the outbreak of the virus will set him free. Read the statement his camp created to plead his case below:

I’m very concerned for Mr. Cosby’s health in prison during the Coronavirus epidemic.

The reason: Mr. Cosby is elderly and blind — and always needs to be escorted around the prison by support service inmates, known as Certified Peer Specialists (CPI).

Those inmates could fall victim to the Coronavirus and easily spread the disease to Mr. Cosby as they wheel him around in a wheelchair.

Among their duties, the inmates bring Mr. Cosby to the infirmary for his doctor appointments and clean his cell.

In addition, Mr. Cosby is constantly in contact with the correction officers who could contract the disease on the outside and bring it inside the prison, potentially exposing Mr. Cosby to the virus.

Prisons and jails around the country are becoming infested with Coronavirus cases — and it’s only a matter of time before Mr. Cosby’s prison likely falls victim to the virus.

For the record, Mr. Cosby has not been tested for the virus — but is feeling fine — other than being blind and his blood pressure spiking at times.

Their efforts come after they learned that Harvey Weinstein, also a convicted sexual predator, had contracted the virus.
