Bill Cosby Loses Appeal To Overturn Sexual Assault Conviction

A Pennsylvania court on Tuesday rejected Bill Cosby’s bid to overturn his sexual assault conviction, an appeal he had based on his contention that five additional accusers should not have been allowed to testify at his trial.

A primary argument by Cosby's lawyers in the appeal was that accounts from the five other women were "strikingly dissimilar" to that of accuser Andrea Constand, thus making their testimony unfair and prejudicial.
