Bill Cosby has officially filed an appeal for a new trial. According to the paperwork filed by his legal team, his conviction for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in April 2018 was “not based on any credible evidence that he actually committed the crimes for which he was on trial.”
The way Cosby’s team sees it, the case that gave him three to ten years in jail was based on “flawed, erroneous and prejudicial rulings of the lower court which improperly allowed the following to be admitted at trial – Inflammatory evidence with no probative value to the actual crimes charged, which stripped Cosby of his presumption of innocence; and alleged civil deposition admissions of Cosby, which were admitted as evidence in violation of Cosby’s Fifth Amendment rights.”
The team wants the Honorable Court of Pennsylvania to reverse Cosby’s sentence and award him a new trial. They also want his sexually violent predator label overturned.
