'It's not fair,' Cosby's lawyer Jennifer Bonjean said outside court. 'It's called trial by ambush.'
SANTA MONICA, California -- With jury selection less than a week away, attorneys scrambled to deal with shifting evidence Tuesday in Bill Cosby's civil trial over allegations that he sexually assaulted a teenage girl at the Playboy mansion nearly 50 years ago.
Huth's attorneys said the change in her story came after research of archival evidence led them to determine the dates when Cosby was shooting the movie"Let's Do It Again" at a Los Angeles-area park, where Huth says the two met before he took her to the mansion. Cosby's attorneys said they had built much of their trial defense around the timing of the trip to the Playboy Mansion, including going to great lengths to establish Cosby's whereabouts at the time, and basing their planned questions for Huth on the witness stand around her account of the chronology.
Bonjean also said the changed story also means changes to the relevance of the case's law, which treats 15-year-olds and 16-year-olds differently. He will not make the trip to California from his Pennsylvania home because of glaucoma that has left him blind, his representatives said."Mr. Cosby is a guy who has never settled for anything in life, and he's not going to settle in this case," Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt said after the hearing.
