#319: Bill Cosby, Free But Not Exonerated With Nicki Weisensee Egan

Laura Richards, Jim Clemente and Lisa Zambetti welcome back investigative journalist Nicki Weisensee Egan, author of the book "Chasing Cosby" as well as Host and Executive Producer of the podcast of the same name.

In this special episode we go behind the scenes of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision to release Cosby from prison. We discuss former DA Bruce Castor's claim of an alleged immunity deal for Cosby, made in secret between two powerful men and which was never signed off by a Judge.

Bill Cosby is free. Britney Spears is not. We deconstruct how this can happen in 2021.

Listener discretion is advised. This episode may be triggering for survivors.
