A second lawyer who defended Bill Cosby in his sex assault trial that ended with a deadlocked jury wants off the case before the start of his retrial that’s set for November.
Los Angeles-based lawyer Angela Agrusa filed documents Tuesday seeking to withdraw as Cosby’s counsel.
Lead defence lawyer Brian McMonagle, of Philadelphia, asked to be taken off the case earlier this month.
Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill previously set a hearing for August 22 to discuss that request. Agrusa is asking to delay that hearing until September 11.
District Attorney Kevin Steele is asking the judge to deny that request, saying it delays justice.
The 80-year-old comedian is being retried on charges he drugged and molested Andrea Constand more than a decade ago. Cosby has said it was consensual.
