Bill Cosby’s eyesight has deteriorated to the point where he cannot identify his accusers in photographs or otherwise help with his defense, his lawyers said Wednesday as they waged a multi-pronged effort to get the sexual assault case against the 79-year-old comedian thrown out. Cosby leaned back in his chair as his lawyers made their case to a judge at the pretrial hearing. Defense attorney Angela Agrusa argued that prosecutors unfairly prejudiced Cosby by waiting a decade to pursue Constand’s complaint. That’s a big deal,” the deputy district attorney Robert Falin said. They are also focusing on the campaign battle between Castor and the current district attorney, Kevin Steele, in last year’s election in Montgomery County.
