Dominique Pelicot , a 71-year-old retiree, was to be cross-examined for the first time Tuesday .

He is accused of recruiting strangers to rape his drugged wife in her own bed.

He was excused from court Monday over abdominal pain and, on Tuesday morning , was still in bad health.

The trial could be adjourned if the primary suspect's health doesn't improve, the presiding judge says.
