Bill Cosby released after court overturns sex assault conviction

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Bill Cosby released after court overturns sex assault conviction” – below is their description.

US comedian Bill Cosby has been released from prison after Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court overturned his conviction.

The 83-year-old served more than two years of a 10-year sentence on charges of drugging and assaulting a woman.

While the Pennsylvania Supreme Court did not exonerate Cosby, it released him essentially on a legal technicality, it made clear that he cannot stand trial for the same charge again.

Al Jazeera’s Mike Hanna reports from the US capital, Washington, DC.
