Lawyers for the actor, serving a three- to 10-year prison term for drugging and molesting a woman at his home, attacked Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill's decision to let five other accusers, of the more than 60 that came forward, testify when Cosby went on trial last year.

A Pennsylvania appeals court on Monday questioned why actor Bill Cosby never got a supposed non-prosecution agreement in writing as his lawyers asked the panel to overturn his sexual assault conviction.

"This is not a low-budget operation. ... They had an unlimited budget," said Superior Court Judge John T. Bender. "Could it be they knew this was something the trial court would never have allowed?" Cosby's lawyers also attacked Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill's decision to let five other accusers testify when Cosby went on trial last year, after more than 60 accusers came forward and his deposition was unsealed. Prosecutors said they chose women whose accounts showed that Cosby had a "signature" crime pattern. Bender seemed to agree, interrupting defense arguments that their stories had significant differences.

"The defendant should not be rewarded because she has no recollection because of the drugs he gave her," Assistant District Attorney Adrienne Jappe argued. Cosby's lawyers called the decision to let five testify at the retrial arbitrary and prejudicial. However, the panel said judges are not bound by their earlier trial rulings.
