LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) _ A man charged with killing a fellow Purdue University student during a classroom attack is trying again to drop his defense attorney.
A Tippecanoe County judge last month rejected 23-year-old Cody Cousins' first request to dismiss his attorney, ruling that a motion filed by his attorney didn't meet the criteria for such action.
But the Journal & Courier reports attorney Robert Gevers has filed a second motion stating that “the attorney-client relationship has become irreparably deteriorated.''
Tippecanoe Superior Court Judge Thomas Busch has set a Thursday hearing to consider Gevers' motion and hear from Cousins about his effort to drop Gevers' services.
Cousins is charged with murder in the January killing of 21-year-old Andrew Boldt of West Bend, Wisconsin inside a classroom on the West Lafayette campus.
