Earlier this month, the funnyman-turned-felon’s defense team tried to argue their client should get a new trial by saying Cosby’s sentence was excessive, that they’d unearthed new evidence, and by claiming the judge was biased.

“This is a timeworn case, and defendant has had his many days, months, and years in court,” Montgomery County District attorney Kevin Steele and Deputy DA Robert Falin wrote in court papers. “The claims he raises in his post-sentence motion do not warrant evidentiary development, several have already been rejected, and they are all meritless. It is time to move on; it is time for the appellate courts to bring this case one step closer to finality.”
