Reiterating the fact that Cosby’s defense was vigorous even if they only called one witness, Stanley says that lead defense counsel Nick Monaghan was so aggressive in his cross-examination of this pattern witness, the other accuser Kelly Johnson, that he “had to calm down for the rest of the trial, and even apologized to the jury in closing.”
And there was, in fact, one other witness that the defense wanted to call, a coworker of Constand’s who had once given her some Advil. The defense wanted to use this testimony to impeach Constand’s testimony that she didn’t often take medication, but the judge didn’t allow it.
