Jury selection is scheduled to begin on Monday, but Cosby’s lawyers could appeal that decision to the state supreme court. Cosby’s lawyers emphasized their concern over a $100 donation made in Deborah O’Neill’s name to an organization that gave money to a group planning protests outside Cosby’s retrial. He added that he could have rejected the recusal request simply because Cosby’s lawyers waited too long to ask. He said Cosby’s lawyers had presented an antiquated view of marriage where spouses must agree on everything. “What we do not share are unified views,” O’Neill said, adding that his wife’s views, “do not influence me one iota”.
