Bill Cosby Asks the Supreme Court to Dismiss a Prosecutor’s Appeal
Lawyers for Bill Cosby asked the Supreme Court on Monday to turn away an appeal brought by a Pennsylvania prosecutor after the state’s top court overturned the comedian’s sexual assault conviction.
In court papers, Cosby argued that the justices should decline to review the ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court last June that led to Cosby’s release from prison.
“The narrowly tailored decision of the Cosby court is not at odds with any other case and is so factually unique that it fails to present any question that is likely to arise in the future with any regularity,” Cosby’s lawyers wrote in a 19-page filing.
