Bill Cosby released from prison after court overturns his conviction (video)

Bill Cosby was released from prison Wednesday after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his indecent assault conviction.

The state’s highest court tossed Cosby’s conviction as a result of an agreement he had with a prior prosecutor that would have prevented Cosby from being criminally charged in the case.

The 83-year-old comedian was two years into a three-to-10-year prison term.

Cosby’s spokesman Andrew Wyatt, who traveled to the prison to get Cosby, said, “We want to thank the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. This is what we have been fighting for and this is justice and justice for black America.”

After his release from prison, his spokesperson Andrew Wyatt and lawyer Jennifer Bonjean spoke to journalists outside his home following his release from prison.
