VIDEO : Judge Dismissed Defamation Claim Filed Against Bill Cosby's Former Lawyer

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? A judge on Tuesday dismissed model Janice Dickinson's defamation claim filed against Bill Cosby's former lawyer for denying her allegations that the comedian had drugged and raped her in 1982. However, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Debre Katz Weintraub did not dismiss defamation allegations made against Cosby in the same lawsuit. Weintraub ruled that Dickinson cannot sue attorney Martin Singer because his denial of her allegations was known to her at the time she sued Cosby in May. "We are very pleased with the ruling," Singer's attorney Andrew Brettler said.
