Judge rejects postponment in Cosby trial

A judge has denied a request by lawyers for Bill Cosby’s wife to postpone her deposition in a defamation lawsuit brought by seven women who claim the comedian sexually assaulted them.

The judge ruled on Sunday that the deposition, scheduled for on Monday, can proceed. A different judge ruled Friday that Camille Cosby’s deposition must proceed. However, defence lawyers filed an emergency motion late Saturday requesting it be delayed, saying 71-year-old Camille Cosby “has had no involvement with the facts or allegations underlying this case.” 

Camille Cosby is slated to answer questions under oath in the suit that alleges Bill Cosby sexually assaulted the women decades ago.
