A high-profile attorney is added to the defense team for the operator of the limo involved in the Schoharie crash.

Lee Kindlon, the attorney for Nauman Hussain, says Joe Tacopina is joining the defense. Tacopina is known for defending clients such as former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and rapper Meek Mill.

Hussain is charged with criminally negligent homicide for the October 6th limo crash that claimed the lives of 20 people.

This comes just days after the Schoharie County District Attorney's Office and the National Transportation Safety Board reached an agreement allowing the NTSB access to the limo.

Kindlon says adding Tacopina helps beef up the defense team in anticipation of the next phase of criminal litigation.
