This morning it was back to court to formalize that withdrawal and the introduction avenue new defense team and set the stage for the retrial. La tom messerau best known for his long white hair and successfully defending Michael Jackson<\/a> against child molestation charges a dozen years ago will be joined by Las Vegas Based<\/a> kathleen bliss and local attorney sam silver who recently defended former philly congressman chaka fattah in his federal corruption trial.

Bill cosby accused of drugging and molesting former Temple University<\/a> Athletic Department<\/a> employee Andrea Constand<\/a> inside his cheltenham mansion back in 2004. His first trial ended in a hung jury june 17th. With members reportedly leaning toward conviction but unable to reach unanimous agreement. Shortly afterward, tmz asked messerau then unconnected to the case about the decision to retry cosby. Do you think theyre wasting their time . I think they are. I think its a weak case. They should have known that. Any comment are in messerau.

Were ready to proceed as we told you before, we are confident in our case and the evidence and well be ready when we get a trial date from the judge. Reporter now 80yearold cosby was silent throughout tuesdays Court Session<\/a> but showed an almost inappropriately cheerful demeanor outside. While posing for pictures with his new team. Like the old team, their job is to keep this comedy legend out of prison. Both Brian Mcmonagle<\/a> and angela aguso entered and left court quietly today. They never officially explained their desire to withdrawal from this case but mcmonagle in particular was widely known to have been unhappy with cosbys spokespersons over their very public bashing of the judge, the prosecutor and the media during round one of this case.
