Bill Cosby freed after top Pennsylvania court overturns sex conviction
Bill Cosby has just arrived at his home, and the first glimpse of him post-prison has surfaced.
He appeared to be wearing a mask, and required a bit of help as he made his way up his front steps. BC also seemed overwhelmed with emotion as he exited the vehicle that had picked him up.
The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office is carrying a much different tune to the news of Cosby’s release … saying, in essence, this does not truly exonerate him — and that he’s only being cut loose on a legal technicality.
D.A. Kevin R. Steele says … “The majority decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court orders the release of William H. Cosby Jr. from state prison. He was found guilty by a jury and now goes free on a procedural issue that is irrelevant to the facts of the crime.”
Steele adds, “I want to commend Cosby’s victim Andrea Constand for her bravery in coming forward and remaining steadfast throughout this long ordeal, as well as all of the other women who have shared similar experiences.” He finishes by saying, “My hope is that this decision will not dampen the reporting of sexual assaults by victims. Prosecutors in my office will continue to follow the evidence wherever and to whomever it leads. We still believe that no one is above the law—including those who are rich, famous and powerful.”
BTW, a rep for the P.A. Dept. of Corrections tells TMZ … Cosby has officially been sprung from prison. He’s out.
