A Pennsylvania appeals court rejected Bill Cosby’s bid to overturn his sexual assault conviction Tuesday
over issues including the trial judge’s decision to let five other accusers testify.
But the Superior Court said Pennsylvania law allows the testimony if it shows Cosby had a “signature” pattern of drugging and molesting women. The appeals court rejected those arguments and upheld the judge's classification of Cosby as a sexually violent predator.He has been serving a three- to 10-year prison term for the 2004 encounter at his suburban Philadelphia home, which he deemed consensual.
“This is not a low-budget operation we were operating here. They had an unlimited budget,” said Superior Court Judge John T. Bender, who questioned whether any court would have approved the deal. Kristen L. Weisenberger, representing Cosby, said one of the women wasn’t even sure she was sexually assaulted. However, prosecutors said, that’s how Cosby planned it.
