This is the third lawyer to represent Olubobokun. Initially, it was Daniel Tangerd, who was fired, and then it was Nicholas Stoonshinoff, who withdrew due to client conflict.

Olubobokun was on trial in June for nine counts of assault with a weapon, but requested more time to prepare his defence when it was his turn to take the stand.

The case has been adjourned until Aug. 15 to discuss a new trial date.
