Bill Cosby wants to block prosecutors from using a phone recording in his upcoming sexual assault trial that allegedly shows him offering money to the accuser. An attorney for the comedian on Wednesday filed papers to suppress the January 2005 phone conversation between Cosby, 79, and the accuser’s mother. Constand’s mother, Gianna Constand, recorded the call from her Toronto-area home and abided by Canadian laws, McMongale acknowledged in the filing. This time Constand’s mother recorded their conversation with a Radio Shack device. It was not recorded, but Constand’s mother claimed to police that Cosby admitted to fondling her daughter, apologized and offered to pay for therapy.
