Crime / Bill Cosby At 1-Year Mark in Prison, More Bad News for Cosby He is hit with $2.75M tab after losing dispute over 'egregious' lawyer bill By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted Sep 25, 2019 12:06 AM CDT Copied In this April 26, 2018 photo, actor and comedian Bill Cosby departs the courthouse after he was found guilty in his sexual assault retrial, at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pa. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum, File) Bill Cosby has been hit with a $2.75 million legal bill as he marks the end of his first year in prison. The 82-year-old Cosby had challenged a California arbitration award that upheld nearly $7 million of a $9 million bill submitted by just one firm in the run-up to his first sexual assault trial in Pennsylvania in 2017. A judge sided Friday with Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, of Los Angeles, rejecting Cosby's claim that the bill was "egregious," the AP reports. Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt isn't commenting on the fee dispute. But he says the actor is holding up well in a suburban Philadelphia prison, mentoring other inmates as he marks a year in prison on Wednesday. Cosby is serving three to 10 years for drugging and molesting a woman in 2004. The Pennsylvania Superior Court is weighing his appeal of the 2018 conviction. (More Bill Cosby stories.) Report an error
