Cosby Vows No Remorse, Even if He Sits in Prison 10 Years

Sentinel News WireFebruary 13, 2019

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bill Cosby says he “will never have remorse” for the sexual encounter that sent him to prison because he considers his conviction the work of “a low-life district attorney and a corrupt judge.” Cosby’s stance could leave him to serve the high end of a three- to 10-year prison term since sex offenders often must show remorse to win parole. Spokesman Andrew Wyatt says Cosby is prepared to stay in prison rather than apologize for a 2004 encounter he considers consensual. Cosby in a statement calls himself a political prisoner in keeping with Martin Luther King Jr.
