Camille Cosby ordered to give deposition in case against husband Bill
Camille Cosby tried to fight it, but she was denied by a court in MA.

That means that Camille could be taking the stand as soon as January 6, which is when depositions in the case are scheduled to begin, The Guardian reports.
In their suit, the women said Bill Cosby portrayed them as liars after they went public with their allegations.
The criminal charges stem from a 2004 encounter with a former Temple University employee who claims he drugged and sexually assaulted her at his suburban Philadelphia home.
On Thursday, Cosby lawyer Monique Pressley accused Montgomery County District Attorney-elect Kevin R. Steele of playing politics with Cosby and filing charges against him to make good on a campaign promise.
Cosby countersued, saying the women derailed his plans for a new sitcom.
The plaintiffs’ lawyers subpoenaed the entertainer’s wife, Camille Cosby, last month on the grounds that she was her husband’s business manager. He is free on $1 million bail.
“Friends and fans, Thank You”, the embattled comedian tweeted Thursday night. Cosby has steadfastly denied wrongdoing.
“I have my doubts they get this to a jury anytime soon”, said Los Angeles defense attorney Mark Geragos, noting the thorny legal issues and Cosby’s advanced age (78) and infirmities, namely his badly deteriorating eyesight.
Steinberg adds, a Judge may allow the testimony of other women who are accusing Cosby of sexual assault. As with anyone accused of a crime, Cosby deserves his day in court.
He said there was “no merit” in her lawyers’ claim that “Massachusetts’ marital disqualification law renders her incompetent to testify in this matter”.
Earlier this year, The Associated Press persuaded a judge to unseal documents from the Constand lawsuit, and they showed the long-married Cosby acknowledging a string of affairs and sexual encounters.

If Cosby is found guilty of the charge – which is considered a second degree felony – he could face up to 10 years in prison, and would be required to register as a sex offender.
