Bill Cosby's lawyers argue in an 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.

In this Sept. 25, 2018, file photo, Bill Cosby arrives for a sentencing hearing following his sexual assault conviction at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown Pa.

Cosby, 83, is serving a three- to 10-year prison term after the jury in his 2018 sex assault trial convicted him of three counts of felony sex assault over a 2004 encounter with accuser Andrea Constand. A former prosecutor had declined to prosecute Cosby when she went to police in 2005. However, another prosecutor reopened the case in 2015 after The Associated Press successfully petitioned a federal judge to unseal filings in the lawsuit she filed against him, including Cosby's deposition testimony about a string of sexual encounters with young women over the years and his admission that he had gotten Quaaludes to give women before sex.

Cosby said he relied on prosecutors' promises not to bring charges when he gave the deposition despite the constitutional right not to incriminate himself.
