Wyatt also told the New York Post that Cosby believes Robert Sylvester Kelly “was screwed” and “wasn’t going to take a break”, pointing a finger at Kelly’s defense.
“The deck was against Robert,” Wyatt told the Mail. “His constitutional rights were seriously abused. I don’t know anywhere else, except in this country in the United States, that a documentary can bring criminal charges against someone. “

He added: “No one fought hard for him.”

Kelly could face a minimum of 10 years, and even life, behind bars. His sentence is in May.
