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.
