The wife of Bill Cosby has been ordered to be questioned under the oath onTuesday. It is the second deposition for the defamation lawsuit case, filed by the seven women, accusing her husband, comedian-actor, Bill Cosby of sexual abused.
According to Philly.com, Camille Cosby, is set to continue her second deposition on Tuesday. The specific location in Boston for the deposition, has not been revealed. Bill Cosby's had her first deposition on February. Her legal team requested to terminate the deposition or at least limit the questions.
However, on April 12, a federal magistrate judge ordered her to continue the second deposition, ABC News reported. The representing lawyer for the women, Joe Cammarata said, it is a good day in court since the questioning will have its continuation.
This time, the judge prohibited "improper questions," such as involving protected communications between husband and wife. According to the marital disqualification rules in Massachusetts, a spouse doesn't have to provide testimony regarding marital conversations.
Cammarata asked Cosby's wife a "litany of improper and offensive questions", such as her sexual relations and her opinion in politics and the couple's son's death, according to the court complaint filed by Cosby's lawyers in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, Business Insider reported.
Camille Cosby's representing lawyer argued that the questions were "designed to annoy, embarrass, and oppress the witness" and added she has no information that would be relevant to the lawsuit. They also fought that her conversations with her husband are confidential under the law. However, Cammarata said, the questions about sex, are related and appropriate to the matter.
The seven women who filed suit claim Bill Cosby, 78 defamed them by branding them liars after they came forward with stories of being sexually assaulted. He has filed a counter suit. The deposition in the civil lawsuit also comes as her husband, who starred in The Cosby Show, faces criminal charges in Pennsylvania.
The plaintiffs were among the 50 women who have come forward to claim that Cosby sexually assaulted them decades ago, however, Cosby denies their allegations.
