Cosby's wife to testify

Bill Cosby's 71-year-old wife, Camille, will have to give deposition testimony in a defamation case against the entertainer, but she will not have to answer questions about her private conversations with him, a judge in Massachusetts ruled on Thursday.

The ruling came in a federal civil case filed against Cosby

by seven women who are suing him for defamation. They said that Cosby, 78, sexually assaulted them many years ago, but they were unable to file civil suits because the statute of limitations had expired by the time they came forward. Instead, they sued him for defamation, saying they were branded as liars after reporting what they said had occurred in encounters with him, often decades ago. The deposition will take place in Springfield, Massachusetts on Feb 22.
