The Supreme Court declined prosecutors' request to hear the case and reinstate Cosby's conviction.
Here's a look back at some of the key events leading up to Cosby's conviction and release.
"The principle of fundamental fairness that undergirds due process of law in our criminal justice system demands that the promise be enforced," Justice David N. Wecht wrote last year, ordering Cosby's immediate release after nearly three years in prison. He was arrested in the Constand case on Dec. 30, 2015, just days before the 12-year statute of limitations expired. Steele had reopened the case after The Associated Press went to federal court to unseal Cosby's long-buried testimony in Constand's lawsuit.He went on trial in the criminal case in June 2017. The jury could not reach a verdict.
