As we reported, Cosby was released from prison Wednesday after Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court overturned his conviction … in part because it ruled he should have never been criminally prosecuted based on the agreement he made with former Montgomery County D.A. Bruce Castor.

Since getting out, Cosby’s thanked his supporters — and although the high court decision had nothing to do with his innocence or guilt … he says, “I have never changed my stance nor my story. I have always maintained my innocence.”
