Bill Cosby fires entire legal team ahead of sentencing

0

Convicted sexual predator Bill Cosby has canned his entire legal team ahead of ​his Sept. 25 ​sentencing, his spokesman told The Post.

“Joseph P. Green Jr. is Mr. Cosby’s new attorney,” Andrew Wyatt said after the news broke that Cosby had tossed all of his high-powered legal team.

The mass-firing occurs as the 80-year-old faces sentencing in September on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in his suburban Philadelphia home in January 2004.

Cosby was convicted at his April retrial, and faces up to 10 years behind bars on each count.

The legal casualties include Hollywood bigwig Tom Mesereau, who got Michael Jackson off on child molestation charges.

“I wish Mr. Cosby, his family, and his new defense team all the best,” said Mesereau.
