As Bill Cosby awaits sentencing for multiple counts of aggravated indecent assault, and a divorce proceeding, he is making some big changes to his legal team.
The New York Daily News reports that Cosby fired his entire legal team, the team that represented him in the case against Andrea Constand, and has now retained the services of Joseph P. Green Jr, his fourth lawyer so far. Green replaces well-known attorney Tom Mesereau.
“The only comment I have is that we wish Mr. Cosby, his family and the new legal team the best,” Mesereau, who has worked with Cosby since August 2017, told the News.
The legal housecleaning comes on the heels of reports that Cosby’s longtime wife Camille filing for divorce. Reports that been adamantly denied by representatives for Cosby according to the New York Daily News.
The legal drama comes the same day Cosby’s spokesman Andrew Wyatt was forced to shoot down a Radar Online report that his wife, Camille Cosby, was gearing up to end their 54-year marriage.
“That story is totally false. Mrs. Cosby is in Philadelphia with Mr. Cosby,” Wyatt told the News. “Mrs. Cosby is not going anywhere.”
Cosby is currently under house arrest in Pennsylvania. and is expected to be sentenced in September.
