Cosby trial: Defense rests in minutes as Camille Cosby stands by her husband

Published June 12, 2017  Fox News

Bill Cosby arrived at court Monday for day six of his sexual assault trial with his wife of 53 years by his side. Bill and Camille Cosby smiled and walked arm-in-arm as they entered the courthouse.

The defense called just one witness and then promptly rested its case.

Cosby’s team called up the detective who led the 2005 investigation into allegations Cosby drugged and violated Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home.

Detective Richard Schaffer was one of 12 witnesses who testified during the five-day prosecution case.

Cosby attorneys said they would not call any character witnesses. Then, Judge Steven O'Neill shot down the defense's bid to call a second witness, a woman who worked with Constand at Cosby's alma mater, Temple University.

The defense rested their case after questioning Schaffer for approximately four minutes.

The prosecution rested its case Friday after five swift days of testimony in the case that could send the 79-year-old Cosby to prison for the rest of his life.

Sad.  I don't understand her standing up for Cosby.  He admits to the sex with multiple women his only contention was whether it was consensual or not.  Either way he betrayed their marriage vows rather casually on multiple occasions.  In a similar position I doubt I would be smiling and supportive of my husband in court.  Thankfully I married a godly man who would never put me in that position

At least he's going to have to keep looking behind his shoulder.

Exactly. I don't understand how any woman could put up with that.

Purely my guess:

Probably a number of reasons and often having to do with financial security.

In this case, though, I wonder about finances, what with cancellation of his appearances and such. Hopefully,  beginning in his earlier years, he was smart enough to have some money put away for the proverbial rainy day. 

Edited to add:  @thackney  -- Thanks for the link.  I guess Mrs. C doesn't have to worry then.

Normally i would agree but I suspect after this many years of marriage she would receive a substantial portion of that if she left him

I doubt the acceptance of his behavior was a new development in the last couple years.

Maybe she is waiting till after the trial.  Not that a split would influence the jury,

I wish the reason had been given. Judges and their playing with the Rules of evidence ... so much injustice follows from that.

Apparently there are updates on the trial via twitter.

Which pieces of testimony the jury requested read back, etc.

Try again as in new trial or have the Jury try again to unlock?  Not near a TV.
