It doesn't matter whether he is guilty or not at this point. An over-zealous prosecutor broke the law to have him convicted, so he's off the hook. That procedural law is in place to keep innocent folks from getting railroaded by corrupt prosecutors, of which this prosecutor was one.
I'm not in favor of breaking the law by either prosecutors OR defense attorneys. There is a price to be paid for that, and sometimes that price is to watch your target walk away as a free man regardless of guilt or innocence, in the interests of protecting innocent folks from corrupt legal beagles.
So this one paid that price, and may or may not have let down the "victims". It's on him at this point, not Cosby or the law. It does make me wonder why he felt a need to break law to obtain a conviction - was his evidence not strong enough? Was it valid evidence at all?
We'll never know now.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
