Bill Cosby says he 'will never have remorse' for the sexual encounter that sent him to prison, because he considers his conviction the work of "a low-life district attorney and a corrupt judge."
Cosby's stance could lead him to serve the high end of a three- to 10-year prison term, since sex offenders often must show remorse to win parole.
Spokesman Andrew Wyatt says Cosby is prepared to stay in prison rather than apologize for a 2004 encounter he considers consensual.
Cosby in a statement calls himself a political prisoner in keeping with Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
Spokesman Andrew Wyatt says the legally blind, 81-year-old actor dictated the statement for NBC-TV to his wife Camille during a phone call Tuesday night from a suburban Philadelphia prison.
Cosby was convicted April 26, 2018, of drugging and molesting Toronto native and Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his Philadelphia home in 2004.
