Court To Hear Cosby's Appeal

Description

Actor, comedian, and incarcerated sex felon Bill Cosby is to have another day in court. Newser reports the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will hear Bill Cosby's appeal of his felony sexual assault conviction on December 1, 2020. Once known as 'America's Dad,' the 83-year-old is serving a three- to 10-year prison term. While a lower appeals court had upheld his conviction, the state's high court agreed this year to review two key issues in the case. One involves the trial judge's decision to let prosecutors call five other accusers to testify about long-ago encounters with Cosby at his 2018 trial. Also at issue is whether the jury should have heard evidence that Cosby had given quaaludes to women in the past.

Bill Cosby Arrives in Court to Hear Whether Other Accusers Can Testify

Comedian and actor Bill Cosby arrived for a pre-trial hearing at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, where he faces criminal charges of sexual assault against Andrea Constand. The blind 79-year-old was accompanied by his team of lawyers, who walked him from the car to the door of the courthouse. Tuesday's hearing will determine if 13 accusers will be allowed to testify. Cosby's defence attorneys argue that because he is blind he cannot identify the accusers.
