Cosby's lawyers argue that 5 women should not have been allowed to give evidence at his trial as witnesses.

They say that their"decades-old" allegations, which were not part of the charges, had prejudiced the jury.

But he fell from grace as allegations of sexual misconduct emerged against him, and was found guilty in 2018 of assaulting Andrea Constand at his Philadelphia mansion. A Pennsylvania judge sentenced the actor to a minimum three and a half years in prison on three counts of aggravated indecent assault.

Although more than 60 women charged that they had been victims of sexual assault by Cosby, he was tried criminally only for Constand's assault, since the statute of limitations had expired in the other cases.
