Bill Cosby files appeal over testimony from other women accusers.

that landed him in prison and says the judge allowed testimony from other women accusers that wasn't relevant.

Cosby's lawyers say the accounts from the five other women were"strikingly dissimilar" to that of trial accuser Andrea Constand and too remote in time to her 2004 encounter with Cosby. The appeal Tuesday comes after Pennsylvania Judge Steven O'Neill in a post-trial memo said their testimony showed"chilling similarities" that pointed to a"signature" crime.

The 81-year-old Cosby has been serving a three- to 10-year prison term since September at a state prison near Philadelphia. The appeal also challenges O'Neill's decisions to air Cosby's prior deposition testimony about Quaalude use and to preside despite an alleged feud with a pretrial witness.

Go get them Mr. Cosby

He’s hoping for a Trump effect.

Regardless of if he is guilty or not,it is obvious that whole Cosby's trial was a political one get even or to punish him & has nothing to do with his sexual relationships. Like when his son was killed .

Where is this sexual predator now? Is he in prison? No -- yes?

Trump has emboldened him! Birds of a feather...

His lawyers need to take a SERIOUS chill-pill.....

Hope it was properly investigated...

another rich man that thinks he can abuse women & get away with it

Throw away the key.

He should never get out, guilty as hell and got away with it too long due to his image as America's Dad.

Is it the 'They're not even my type' defense?
