Bill Cosby accuses his trial judge of racial hatred and delaying the appeals process as he applied for bail.
Accusing his trial judge of unreasonable delays, conflicts of interest and racial bias, comedian and convicted felon Bill Cosby is again seeking bail while he appeals his conviction.
The request for higher court consideration comes as Cosby’s attorneys claim his trial judge, Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill, had a conflict of interest against a witness for Cosby’s defense and that O’Neill has “unduly delayed” Cosby’s appeal. The application also argues that Cosby is not a danger to the community because of his advanced age and blindness.
“We’re asking that this scandalous judge be removed immediately, and Mr. Cosby be granted bail throughout the appeals process, because the judge’s racial hatred toward Mr. Cosby, clouds his better judgement to be a good steward of the bench,” a statement released on Cosby’s Instagram said.
