American actor Bill Cosby has lost the appeal to get his court ruling overturned. The court ruled Cosby’s claims about unfair testimony in the Andrea Constand sexual assault case invalid.
According to TMZ, Cosby felt the testimonies from his five other victims were bogus. He claimed it was because the allegations were over 15 years old and too different from Constand’s allegations.
However, the appellate court agreed on the necessity of the women’s testimonies. This is because the testimonies established Cosby’s “unique sexual assault playbook”. It spelled out exactly what it was.
According to the documents, Cosby would target women substantially younger than him, invite them to hang out, and get them to trust him because of his celebrity status.
Cosby would then ply them with intoxicants and then sexually assault them while they were not fully conscious.
The appellate court ruled the trial court in Cosby’s case did nothing wrong. They also ruled that the testimony established the disgraced comedian’s predictable pattern of behavior.
The court also rejected additional arguments by Cosby, including his long-held stance that he had a deal with the D.A. not to prosecute him.
The court sentenced 82-year-old Bill Cosby to 3 to 10 years for sexually assaulting Constand at his home his 2004, and his appeal has been rejected.

It is amazing how the justice system in America is not impotent and misogynist like the one in Nigeria.
