Update 6.40pm: A day after Hollywood's first Oscars of the #MeToo era, Bill Cosby went to court in a bid to get his sexual assault case thrown out or at least stop some of his dozens of accusers from giving evidence at his retrial.

Cosby's defence team, led by former Michael Jackson lawyer Tom Mesereau, argued that telephone records, travel itineraries and other evidence show the alleged assault could not have happened when prosecutors say it did and thus falls outside the statute of limitations.
