Comedian Bill Cosby will get a chance to appeal his criminal convictions to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, Philadelphia’s WPVI-TV reported.
Cosby,82, has been behind bars since September 2018, serving a sentence of 3 to 10 years for aggravated indecent sexual assault. The comedian has maintained his innocence throughout, and indeed, his first appeal was denied in September 2019.
On Tuesday, the state’s Supreme Court agreed to allow him to appeal his sentence, on four specific grounds Cosby’s attorneys have argued that he didn’t get a fair trial and sentence.
Specifically, according to a 2019 USA Today report, Cosby’s team has argued that the court should not have allowed the prosecution to call 5 accusers to testify that he had given them quaaludes in the past.
