Bill Cosby's Los Angeles Civil Trial, Explained
"Donna Motsinger was a server at the Trident, a highly regarded restaurant in Sausalito, California, when she met Cosby in 1972. She was 31 and had served his table. Cosby was a Trident regular, according to court papers. One week when Motsinger was working, Cosby was particularly extroverted."
"As with other Cosby accusers, Donna Motsinger alleges that Cosby incapacitated her with some sort of drug to facilitate the attack, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. Cosby has maintained that he did not assault Motsinger."
"Motsinger's lawsuit is reportedly among dozens of other civil actions against Cosby now playing out in courts across the U.S. The trial, which is expected to last two weeks, started in earnest on March 10 with opening statements, and three other accusers are poised to testify."
