The full court document can be read here.

Cosby’s release comes after serving over two years of a three to 10-year sentence at the State Correctional Institution at Phoenix near Philadelphia. Cosby opted to serve the maximum of the sentence as opposed to apologizing for the 2004 sexual encounter with his accuser Andre Constand.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
