PITTSBURGH — The sex assault case against Bill Cosby turns on serious questions about his actions with women behind closed doors, but the comedian and others unexpectedly fell into laughter Wednesday during questioning of one potential juror.
When asked why he was claiming hardship, an older man responded by asking the judge if he’d heard of ulcerative colitis. Playing along, the judge asked the juror to describe the condition.
“It doesn’t act up all the time, but if I deviate from my home diet, usually in about an hour or two, I’m in a place where I need to use the facilities right now,” he told the judge. The remark prompted Cosby to begin laughing to the point of tears.
Cosby, the judge and lawyers chuckled as the man continued answering questions.
