Bill Cosby Fires His Entire Legal Team; What"s His Game?
As we all know, Bill Cosby is super guilty. By which we mean that he was found guilty by a jury of his peers for multiple counts in the 2004 sexual assault against Andrea Constand.
He is due to be sentenced in three months … but he has fired his entire high-profile legal team.
What is he thinking?
Bill Cosby still has three months to go before he is sentenced for all three counts of aggrivated indecent assault of Andrea Constand.
He remains under house arrest until that time.
It is quite the surprise to learn that he has dismissed his press-friendly attorney, Tom Mesereau, whom he brought on board to defend him in 2017.
Mesereau is famous for having defended Michael Jackson, but his courtroom strategy wasn’t enough to hoodwink the jury.
Perhaps Cosby is unwilling to continue paying the man who failed to get him an acquittal.
Cosby isn’t going to represent himself at his two-day sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for September 24-25.
He has instead hired Pennsylvania attorney Joseph P. Green Jr. to fulfill that role.
Green is an established lawyer, but not nearly as high-profile as Cosby’s previous representation.
It may be that Cosby simply wants an attorney but is no longer willing to shell out big bucks for high priced representation for another three months — not if he doesn’t believe that it will change anything at his sentencing.
Some have wondered if he may be hoping that, by acquiring a new attorney, the date of his sentencing hearing might be pushed back.
Cosby is 80 years old, and will be 81 after his July 12 birthday.
Some wonder if, comfortable while under house arrest, he is pushing to delay his incarceration as long as possible.
As we said, some find this move surprising, but it is actually consistent with Cosby’s recent history with attorneys.
In July of 2017, Cosby’s jury deadlocked the first time around.
After that mistrial was declared, Cosby fired his attorneys Brian McMonagle and Angela Agrusa in order to hire Mesereau.
As a result, his new trial date was pushed back from the autumn of 2017 to the spring of 2018.
The #MeToo movement began later in 2017, making millions of people more aware that yes, sometimes the people who seem nice on camera are actually sex monsters who’ve gotten away with it all for years.
In fact, potential jurors had months to soak in story after story about famous, seemingly charming men who terrorized women and used their wealth and influence to cover it up.
In light of that, many wonder if Cosby wishes that his second trial had been much, much earlier.
But this new shift in his legal representation might might that he ends up pushing his sentencing another few months. Perhaps all of the way to 2019.
It is difficult to tell if this is part of a legal strategy, though.
McMonagle and Agrusa themselves had replaced his previous attorney, Marty Singer, in 2015.
Maybe Cosby is just being grouchy or quickly grows dissatisfied with his attorneys.
It is very difficult to tell what exactly is going on in that man’s mind right now.
Aside from, one assumes, fear.
Some rumors suggest that Cosby may need another attorney for a very different courtroom in the near future.
Is Camille Cosby planning to divorce him?
In public, his wife says that his conviction was “mob justice” and somehow the fault of racism.
12 jurors of his peers doesn’t sound much like “mob justice” to us.
And if racism was at play behind that guilty verdict, then why didn’t the jury in 2017 convict?
But if she is privately planning to leave him, he could find himself facing off in two court battles at the same time.
Would he retain a divorce attorney for any longer than he holds onto defense attorneys?
Who knows, with that guy.

John Bain: YouTube Star and Game Critic Known as TotalBiscuit Dies at 33
John Bain, the man known as TotalBrit and CynicalBiscuit within the YouTube and gaming communities, passed away on Thursday.
The beloved game critic and reviewer was 33 years old.
He is survived by his wife, Genna Bain, and his stepson, Orion.
Bain was an award-winning critic who got his start in 2010. Soon after, he partnered with HuskyStarcraft and later with Sony Entertainment for E3 in 2013.
Despite his 2.2 million followers on YouTube and his popularity on the video game livestreaming platform, Twitch, Bain announced his retirement in April.
He reached this decision after the bowel cancer that he had been battling metastasized to his liver.
At the beginning of May, Bain took to reddit to share the difficult news with his fans and followers in a lengthy but informative post.
Bain wrote:
“When I went into hospital a week or so ago, it was accompanied by the news that conventional chemotherapys effectiveness had been exhausted.”
There are no good cancers, but bowel cancer is one of the worst.
“My body has become resistant to all forms of it according to my oncologist. 46 chemo treatments, 138 days plugged into a pump.”
Tragically, when it rains, it pours.
“Let nobody ever say I wasn’t stubborn. Unfortunately this was followed up a couple of days later with some more bad news. My liver is failing and its effectiveness has lowered past the point where the clinical trials I had been offered would take me on.”
He makes a joke out of it.
“Yes apparently there are things that are too dangerous for even the terminal.”
“Obviously we’re going to keep looking for other trials but I’m currently coming to terms with the fact that I don’t have long left and right now.”
He was heartbreakingly correct.
“At any rate, there is literally nothing I can do about it other than try to manage the pain as best as possible and stay as hydrated as possible to ease the pressure on the liver.”
He’s not talking about a cure. Just seeking relief.
“There are quite a few pain management options left to try and the ones that I am using can be increased in dosage quite significantly if need be.”
That’s good. No one should have to suffer in pain.
“The majority of the pain is being caused by pressure on the spine from hardened nodules in the liver and lung as well as fluid.”
What he’s talking about here is what they call palliative care.
“Even though you don’t really have any treatments to fight with any more, I firmly believe that the will to live is a very strong asset and that is much easier to maintain when you’re not in crippling pain all the time.”
“That will most likely be my last health update, unless some miracle happens or we do indeed find a trial that can do something despite the damage to my liver.”
He then asks his fans, who are naturally curious, to please be tasteful when discussing his health.
“I’d ask people not to speculate about how long I might have left. I’ve deliberately left out some details to try and reduce the behavior, though it might very well have the opposite effect.”
He’s thinking of other viewers with more delicate constitutions.
“All I do know is that kind of thing is upsetting to some of my viewers that read it and I’d rather not encourage it.”
He says that he has already beaten the odds.
“I’ve already exceeded the ‘usual’ lifespan of someone with my condition so whatever numbers people come up with are just that.”
He didn’t want this terrible news to catch his viewers unawares.
“Why am I telling you? Because if you’re a viewer of my content, its relevant to you.”
His wife posted a beautiful but very sad tribute to him to mark his passing.
Bain’s notice to his fans mentioned her, of course.
“When I leave this world I want to leave something my family can use to help them earn. Not only would I be ok with Genna taking over my channels and assets once I’m gone,”
In other words, he is encouraging his fans to watch his wife’s gameplay videos on YouTube and Twitch in his memory. This could be a powerful revenue stream for her.
“I’d be delighted if she did. I’ve been encouraging her for years to create more content for Youtube, hopefully as we make a bunch of fun videos together over the next however-long, that confidence will grow.”
That would be wonderful.
“It’s been a privilege, thank you all for letting me into your life and do something so important as to have an impact on how you spend your hard-earned money.”
He is sorely missed.
