Gloria Allred Says She's Still Going After Bill Cosby In Court Despite His Sexual Assault Conviction Being Overturned

Gloria Allred held a press conference and said she's not done fighting despite the court’s decision to let Bill Cosby walk out of prison a free man.
The high-profile attorney -- who represented 33 Cosby accusers -- addressed the public just hours after the now 83-year-old star's sexual assault conviction was overturned.
Ensuring everyone that "Mr. Cosby is not home free," Allred alleges Cosby will still be deposed under oath in his Los Angeles lawsuit against her client Judith Huff, and he'll be unable to evoke his fifth amendment rights.
Before her press conference, Allred told Variety she was "disappointed" in the court's decision on Wednesday.
"This decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court today to overturn the conviction of Bill Cosby must be devastating for Bill Cosby’s accusers," she said.
“My heart especially goes out to those who bravely testified in both of his criminal cases. I represented a majority of the prior bad act accusers who testified,” Allred’s statement continued.
