(WWL) — Bill Cosby’s spokesperson believes Cosby is due “millions and millions of dollars” for his time behind bars.
“We feel that he’s owed a lot of money,” said Andrew Wyatt, according to ABC News 10. “Mr. Cosby was given an unwanted two-year and 10-month vacation that he never asked for. His constitutional rights were abolished. His due process was stripped away from him.”

Cosby was convicted on three counts of aggravated indecent assault in 2018 and sentenced to three to 10 years in prison. He was accused of drugging and assaulting Temple University women's basketball coach Andrea Constand in 2004.
Last month, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated Cosby’s conviction on the grounds that prosecutors obtained his testimony in an inappropriate manner and it could not be used as evidence.
After Cosby was released, Wyatt announced that he plans to go on a stand-up comedy tour.
Now, Wyatt has cited a proposal introduced by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, which would pay people who were wrongfully convicted $50,000 for every year spent in prison. Wyatt believes Cosby deserves a payout.
Wyatt has not yet provided a specific dollar amount for what Cosby’s camp believes he is owed, but he said they are “looking into different routes.”
