Lawyers Clash Over Use of Cosby Accusers' Names

Описание: (13 Dec 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus068524

Judge overseeing the Bill Cosby sexual assault case threatened to call in sheriff's deputies as both teams of lawyers argued over whether prosecutors can all as many as 13 accusers as trial witness, but leave their names out.
Prosecutors want to be allowed to put some of the accusers on the witness stand, a key part of their strategy to show that a sexual encounter at Cosby's suburban Philadelphia home in 2004 fit the 79-year-old entertainer's decades-long pattern of drugging and molesting women.
Cosby's lawyers want the accusers barred from testifying at the spring trial, attacking their credibility and relevance.
