Bill Cosby DENIED New Trial In Assault Case - Here's Why!

Cosby’s request for a new trial in the sexual assault case has been denied as the court found no evidence the first trial was unfair or the $60 million damages excessive. Donna Motsinger accused Cosby of drugging and raping her after a 1972 show; a jury previously held him liable for sexual assault and battery, awarding $17.5 million for past suffering, $1.75 million for future suffering, and $40 million in punitive damages. Cosby had sought a new trial in April, arguing the punitive damages were disproportionate relative to his net worth. The judge’s ruling ends the bid for a retrial for now, with no public reaction from Cosby reported.
