Cosby Seeks Change Of Venue In Sexual Assault Case
Bill Cosby's legal team is asking for a change of venue in his sexual assault case.
Court documents filed Friday show the comedian's lawyer, Brian McMonagle, wants the case moved out of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania due to heavy media coverage.
In the motion, the attorney acknowledges the coverage of the case has been national, but claims prospective jurors in Montgomery County have been subjected to extensive negative coverage.
It also adds the 79-year-old Cosby has been branded, quote, " a monster, sociopath and sexual predator."
