Bill Cosby's lawyers will fight to overturn his sexual assault conviction Monday as the 82-year-old comedian serves a three- to 10-year prison term in Pennsylvania.
 Â
Cosby was the first celebrity tried and convicted in the #MeToo era. He insists the sexual encounter with a young woman seeking career advice was consensual.
 Â
A jury last year found Cosby drugged and molested her at his suburban Philadelphia estate in 2004.
 Â
Defense lawyers contend the trial judge erred in letting five other accusers testify to bolster the prosecution's case.
 Â
The three-judge Superior Court panel includes two women jurists. The panel is not expected to rule for several months.
 Â
The decision will be closely watched by both sexual assault victims and lawyers for Harvey Weinstein and other high-profile men accused of similar misconduct.
