The ‘previous technicality’ is that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court found he was deprived of his right to due process. Cosby had been compelled to testify as the defendant in a civil case, but then the same testimony was used against him in a criminal trial – a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
You don't have to be famous for that to happen.
Meanwhile, the man is blind, broke, his career is over, and he spent nearly three years in prison. No doubt he should have been punished sooner and more severely, but you can hardly say he got away with what he did.
