'Is this a dream?' Bill Cosby's first words upon his release from prison are ...

He could have had anything money could buy. But after nearly three years of incarceration former inmate NN7687 didn't want anything fancy.

Instead, on the day of his release, Bill Cosby just wanted to be in his own home, on his own sofa and eating a slice of his favorite pizza.

Taken within hours of Cosby, 83, getting out of prison these exclusive images obtained by DailyMail.com show a man elated in his freedom.

Sitting on his bed in Elkins Park, Pa., still in his prison uniform, or eating that simple tomato, mozzarella and basil pizza that he craved, they offer a never-before-seen glimpse of Cosby's first moments of freedom following last week's Supreme Court decision to overturn his conviction for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, 48, in 2004.

And now, in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Cosby's friend and spokesperson Andrew Wyatt has shared the inside story of that release and the hours that followed.

He has given details of the actor and comedian's reunion with his wife of 57 years, Camille; he has told of Cosby's time in prison, and he has revealed Cosby's plans for his life on the outside.

According to Wyatt, Cosby's first words upon getting into the car that would take him from SCI Phoenix to his home in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania were, 'Andrew, is this a dream?'

Wyatt recalled, 'He said, 'Are you real?' I said, 'I'm real, touch me.' He said, 'Look, people can sometimes feel things in dreams.' And I said, 'Mr. Cosby this is real. You're free.'

Wyatt recalled how Cosby shook his hand, told him he would 'go down in history,' for his work on his behalf and asked, 'How does Mrs. Cosby sound?'

Twenty-four hours later Cosby was reunited with 77-year-old Camille. She and Cosby had spoken on the phone almost every day, but they had not seen each other since he left home on the day the jury came back with their guilty verdict at the end of his second trial in 2018.

Convicted on three counts of aggravated indecent assault, Cosby had not wanted his wife, or daughters, to see him as a prisoner.

Wyatt described their reunion as, 'like watching teenage love.' He said, 'The way she touched him and said, 'Billy.' He said, 'My dear Camille.'

News of the Supreme Court's decision came on Wednesday June 30. Wyatt recalled that when he first got wind of it, he kept it to himself. He said, 'I didn't tell anyone because it's been a roller-coaster and so many people have come with information saying that he's not going to be sentenced, he's not going to be charged, he's not going to be convicted…It's emotionally and mentally draining.'

Wyatt wanted to be sure that it was true before breaking the news to Camille. When he did, she too struggled to wrap her mind around what she was being told.

He said, 'I called Mrs. Cosby and said, ''You're not going to believe this. They've vacated his entire conviction. They threw it out in perpetuity.'' And she said, ''No, we need to check this.'''

At the time Camille was on her way from the family's Massachusetts home to New York. Wyatt was already on the road to Pennsylvania and told her, 'I'll bring him to you.'

According to Wyatt, at that same moment Cosby was asleep in his cell, oblivious to it all.

Cosby told Wyatt he had been in a deep sleep when guards opened his door and told him, 'Get up. You're free.'

Wyatt said, 'He said, 'I heard all these inmates shouting, kicking the doors, shouting 'Get outta here Bill, Uncle Bill, the Godfather.'

Cosby is completely blind having lost his sight to glaucoma many years ago and told Wyatt, 'I thought it was a fight going on. I don't know what's happening.'

Later that night Cosby admitted to Wyatt that he didn't want to go to sleep for fear that when he woke up, he would find that it was all a dream after all.

It is seven months since the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania heard Cosby's appeal on two grounds: the admissibility of a damaging deposition given by Cosby in civil proceedings brought by Constand and the decision by trial judge Steven O'Neill to permit five other women testify to allegedly similar 'prior bad acts' at his second trial in 2018.

O'Neill had only permitted one other accuser to testify at the 2017 trial which ended in mistrial, and he never gave any reason for his change of heart second time round.

When Constand first reported the alleged assault in 2005 the then Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor found her lacking in credibility. In the absence of any corroborating evidence, he concluded that a criminal prosecution would not succeed.

Castor issued a press release saying that the county would not bring criminal charges in a move intended to help Constand get 'justice' through a civil suit.

Without the spectre of criminal proceedings Cosby couldn't plead the Fifth when deposed in an interrogation that took place over four days. In 2006 Constand received a civil settlement of $3.2million.

Last Wednesday, in an excoriating opinion, the Supreme Court described Castor's successors' - former DA Risa Ferman and current DA Kevin Steele – act of using Cosby's civil depositions against him in a criminal trial, as a 'bait and switch.'

The judges stated that the move had stripped Cosby of his Fifth Amendment rights twice over, harming him in the civil action and damning him in the criminal one.

They not only vacated his conviction but ensured that he would never again be prosecuted on charges relating to Constand.
