The abuse of process is referred to as the incorrect or “improper use of a civil or criminal legal process for an unintended, malicious, or perverse reason.” This means that Cosby would be able to argue that the prosecutor convicted him with malice and broke the promise to Cosby had received from  the previous District Attorney over his case.

As we reported, Former D.A. Bruce Castor made the deal with Cosby stating that if he testified during a civil deposition then he wouldn’t have to face a criminal trial. Additionally, Cosby reportedly made incriminating statements regarding drugging the victims and it was presented during the trial.

The judge threw out the conviction and ordered Cosby to be discharged immediately. Cosby has maintained his innocence and said he has never been involved in non-consensual sex and only served two years out of his ten-year prison sentence.
