A lawyer for Bill Cosby told jurors they need to look past years of public accusations against the actor and comedian and consider only the evidence presented by a woman who says he sexually abused her at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 when she was 16 years old.

During closing arguments at a California civil trial Tuesday that would devolve into bizarre bickering over the video game Donkey Kong, Cosby attorney Jennifer Bonjean said plaintiff Judy Huth and her lawyers didn't come close to proving "her 50-year-old, he-said-she-said case."

Bonjean began the defense's closing argument by thanking jurors and then telling them, "All I have to say is, it's on like Donkey Kong," a callback to what both sides during the trial called " The Donkey Kong defense." Goldberg told jurors in his closing that Samuelson had said "games like Donkey Kong" in her first reference to it during the deposition. She gave a similar explanation during trial testimony.

Similar bickering occurred between the two throughout the trial, and had boiled over earlier Wednesday when Goldberg said a defense expert was "a nice lady, with a nice smile," implying she had little else to offer in the case.
