Cosby Sexual Assault Appeal Takes On Non-Prosecution Deal
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Bill Cosby's lawyers are arguing in a new appeals filing that it was "fundamentally unfair" to let prosecutors use Cosby's damaging deposition from a sex accuser's lawsuit against him at trial.
The filing made Tuesday largely focuses on what Cosby believes was a binding promise from a district attorney that he wouldn't be charged in the case.
A spokeswoman for the Montgomery County district attorney's office isn't commenting, but says prosecutors will file a response within a month.
