Bill Cosby’s Lawyers Seek to Overturn Sexual Assault Conviction “America’s Dad” wants to be released
from prison after a little over a year. Bill Cosby is serving a 3-to-10 year prison term for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004. Cosby’s lawyers are now arguing that he was deprived of a fair trial. The argument focuses on Judge Steven O’Neill allowing additional accusers to testify, despite
the case focusing on Constand. Cosby is the first major celebrity
to face prison time in the #MeToo era. The appeals court decision may take several months to decide.
