A judge has rejected Bill Cosby’s bid for a new trial or sentencing hearing.

The ruling by Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill on Oct. 23 has led Cosby’s lawyers to file their appeal with the state Superior Court, which is the next step as they attempt to reverse Cosby’s felony sex assault conviction, according to the Associated Press.
