Bill Cosby thinks he was repeatedly treated unfairly by the Pennsylvania criminal court system, and he's been given the green light to appeal multiple rulings that led up to his April 2018 conviction for the 2004 aggravated indecent assault of Andrea Constand.
In an almost 200-page appeal brief, Cosby's attorneys Kristen Weisenberger, Brian Perry and Sarah Kelly-Kilgore argue the court abused its discretion on a variety of issues, including its decision to allow multiple other accusers to testify as prior bad acts witnesses. In Cosby's first trial, only one of such witnesses was allowed. That jury couldn't arrive at a decision, resulting in a mistrial.
His attorneys argue that the facts in each of those alleged incidents were not substantially similar to Constand's allegations and, even if they were, they happened too long before the 2004 event to be admissible.
So if his show is no longer in reruns at least his trial will be.
Stop mentioning this person. Everybody hates him!
Give it up Cos....
Wtf. guiltyashell
I am so sick of these serial rapists whining about their treatment.
Him being in jail wasn't based off of evidence, but hearsay. That could really be proven. I thought evidence and not a persons word, proved your guilty. Whether he did it or not. Plus person was proven liar, yet court took her side with no evidence.
