Plaintiffs will call Rose to testify in rape trial

LOS ANGELES -- The lawyer for an ex-girlfriend accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two of his friends of rape said Friday he will call Rose to the witness stand after the defense finishes cross-examining his client.

Attorney Waukeen McCoy said Rose would be the next witness in the lawsuit seeking $21.5 million in damages from the point guard for the New York Knicks.

The woman who accuses Rose and the friends of gang raping her was under tough cross-examination during her second day of testimony.

She said she sued Rose to hold him accountable and denied she is doing it for money.
