John Cogorno withdraws as Ray Christie's attorney

 


Trial confirmation and hearing regarding the defense motion for a new trial for Ray Christie was continued to August 4. I had a feeling it would be continued again and it was to August 6 for trial assignment. 

Mr. John Cogorno and Mr. Ken Bareilles were Christie's attorneys. Bareilles had not appeared on the case for a while. He did today. Mr. Cogorno withdrew as Christie's counsel. Christie decided to fire Mr. Cogorno days before his trial which may or may not proceed next Monday.

Mr. Bareilles is not available until next year. Christie needs to find a new lawyer who is ready to take the case on and proceed within a reasonable timeframe or file a motion to continue by 8/6/21.

The court minutes for 8/4 are posted below. 8/6/21 and 8/9/21 updates will be added to this post.



Christie is being retried and only on the four felony charges.

Deputy District Attorneys Steven Steward and David Moutrie are the prosecutors for the case.
