Diddy Attorney Files Motion to Withdraw From Legal Team: ‘Under No Circumstances’ Can I Continue
Diddy attorney Anthony Ricco asked to step down from the hip-hop mogul's legal team ahead of trial, saying "under no circumstances" can he continue.
Per court documents filed in the Southern District of New York on Friday (Feb. 21), Anthony Ricco said that while he had “provided Sean Combs with the high level of legal representation expected by the court, under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs, consistent with the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice.” Earlier this week, Combs’ attorneys filed a motion in New York federal court calling for a sex trafficking charge to be dropped from his indictment. Combs was arrested in September and is currently detained at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting trial, which is slated to start in May.
