Bill Cosby’s Legal Team Just Got One Black Woman Shorter
Monique Pressley, the black woman a part of Bill Cosby’s legal team, has decided to call it quits. The Root reported that Pressley is the second attorney to leave the comic’s legal team since he’s been accused of sexually assaulting a number of women. As of now, the reason for her departure is unknown.
A couple of months ago, high-powered attorney Monique Pressley helped Bill Cosby into a courtroom. But now it seems as though Pressley has had a change of heart when it comes to representing the man charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a Pennsylvania woman.
Earlier this week, Pressley removed herself from Cosby’s legal team, making her the second attorney to do so over the last year. Pressley has not said why she’s dropped Cosby as a client, but needless to say, Cosby hasn’t had a good history when it comes to keeping his legal team intact.
Cosby is currently facing criminal charges in Pennsylvania in the sexual assault of Andrea Constand in 2004.
Pressley was a key member, often making public appearances to defend her client. This is an obvious blow to his legal team.
