BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge has denied a motion by Bill Cosby’s wife to throw out a subpoena requiring her to give a deposition in a lawsuit brought by seven women who accuse the comedian of sexually assaulting them decades ago.
The ruling issued Thursday by U.S. Judge Magistrate David Hennessey in Springfield, Massachusetts, means Camille Cosby is scheduled to be deposed by lawyers for the women on Wednesday.
In his 12-page decision, Hennessey said Camille Cosby failed to prove that she and her husband were protected by the state’s marital disqualification law. He also rejected claims that the value of the testimony would be outweighed by the “undue burden” it would cause.
Cosby has filed a countersuit against the women, accusing them of making false allegations for financial gain.

That’s OK Bill — Just slip her a couple of those pills you used to use right before she goes in —
Bit hard to claim “spousal privilege” when you have been the official paid business manager for 50+ years.
That’s right, Bill, it’s only going to get worse from here on. Tee to the hee.
I wonder if this motion was filed by Monique Pressley? And if that’s the case is this a prelude to how she will defend her client(s) in the court room.
Let me know if this is too crass and I’ll take it down.
