Earlier this week, we reported that Bill Cosby had been freed from prison after his sexual assault conviction was overturned due to a promise a prosecutor made in 2005 that he would not be charged for the crime. Now, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera is speaking out to celebrate Cosby’s release, and to indicate that Harvey Weinstein could be next.

Rivera, who is also a lawyer, explained that he wrote a note to himself back in 2018 saying that Cosby was a “sexual predator who left a trail of human misery and despair” while predicting that “his conviction will be overturned” because the judge “went way over the line in allowing unrelated victim testimony.”

“What they did to this guy was mob justice,” he said, according to Yahoo News. “First of all, the former state [district attorney] promised that they would not bring a criminal case against him if he testified in a civil deposition.”

“That was an express agreement that he had with the former district attorney,” Rivera added. “That’s No. 1. No. 2, to bring in five unrelated victims to testify against him was so grotesquely unfair that it just seemed to me that this was mob justice.”

“How is he going to get back these two years that he has lost?” he questioned. “This never should have happened.”

When asked how Cosby’s accusers will ever get a sense of justice, Rivera said, “Our hearts go out to these victims.”

“They should have gone to a prosecutor when their cases were ripe for justice. I am sorry that they are not getting a sense of moral fulfillment now or rehabilitation or repair for the damage that this man probably did to them, but that’s not the way the criminal justice system works,” he explained.

“In our system, there’s an accuser, there’s evidence, the evidence is testified by the defense, and then, the jury or the judge rules on it,” Rivera continued. “In this case, they brought in people that were unrelated to this victim. Why just five? Why not 50? Why not all 50 that you say were harmed by this monster? … In this case, [the prosecutors] embellished [Cosby’s alleged wrongdoing] in a way that was wrongful.”

Rivera also said that he feels this bodes well for the disgraced Hollywood mogul Weinstein.

“This will be reflected in Harvey Weinstein’s appeal as well,” he said. “They may be monsters. #MeToo may have exacted righteous justice in both those cases, but it’s not the way the criminal justice system works. … Bill Cosby, I tell you: You can spit on him [and] do all you want, but he was unjustly convicted, in my opinion.”
