NORRISTOWN, Pa. -- 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.
