Bill Cosby brought an all-star cast to defend him against sexual assault charges at his retrial in Montgomery County. But his lawyers’ attempts to discredit Cosby’s multiple accusers did not get very far with the jury, which found the comedian guilty on all counts Thursday.

Cosby’s lawyers included Tom Mesereau, best known for getting Michael Jackson acquitted of child molestation charges, and Kathleen Bliss, who runs her own small firm after previously leading the white-collar practice at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith. Also on the lineup were Becky James, a former federal prosecutor who has led appellate practices at multiple firms, including Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, and local counsel Lane Vines, a commercial litigator at Berger & Montague.
