The latest appeal from Bill Cosby contends that if five other women hadn’t been allowed to give testimony of being assaulted and drugged by him, the man once known as “America’s Dad” wouldn’t have …

If you have been following this under the radar matter over the last several years, you’ll recall that The Cosby Show creator has been pounding this drum almost since Judge Steven O’Neill imposed his sentence on September 25, 2018.

“The lower court abused its discretion in denying Cosby’s Motion for Declaration of Unconstitutionality, applying the registration provisions of the Sex Offender Registration Act, and designating Cosby as a sexually violent predator without benefit of a trial by jury for his conviction of allegations from 2004, all in violation of the Ex Post Facto clauses of the state and federal Constitutions,” the paperwork put before the Keystone State’s Superior Court Tuesday claims, as past Cosby filings...

Accused of bias in today’s appeal as he has been in the past, Judge O’Neill himself in a May opinion called out the “chilling similarities” in the M.O. that Cosby used on the five women who took the stand in his retrial and Constand. Tuesday’s appeal also hit more familiar themes of an unfair jury, a political vendetta with a past Montgomery County District Attorney and a 2006 deposition from Cosby being improperly entered into evidence.

Even as Cosby has admitted in depositions more than 10 years ago to giving Constand several Benadryl pills on the night of the alleged assault in his Philadelphia-area mansion back in 2004, the actor has insisted unsuccessfully through various investigations, two trials and the sentencing hearing that the encounter with her was consensual.

Many of the more than 60 women also have claimed that Cosby drugged and assaulted them over the decades with a similar combo of pills and alcohol. Unlike many of those women, some of whom were among the onlookers at the two trials and the sentencing hearing last year, Cosby paid Constand millions in a once-confidential settlement about a decade before the criminal case was opened in late 2015.

I can see why he’d want to. If realDonaldTrump can get away with rape, why can’t I, thinks Bill. Sounds like a question for SpeakerPelosi. Can you answer why this thing we have to call a president is still in office?
