NEW YORK (WABC) -- As police prepared to remove more evidence from Levy Aron's attic apartment, his legal team suffered a body-blow today. Defense co-counsel Gerard Marrone abruptly resigned from the case, telling Eyewitness News that he simply could not in good conscience continue to represent Aron, who is accused of abducting and murdering an 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky in Brooklyn.
"The allegations were too horrific, and it's not something I wanted to be involved in," he told Eyewitness News. "I have three boys. One of my sons is seven. I looked at my own children and there are no words. You see the victim and you feel so sad."
Marrone admitted there was a time earlier this week when he cried over the death of Leiby Kletzky.
