Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, is currently being held without bond while awaiting trial in New York on kidnapping and human trafficking charges, based on allegations made by his ex girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a $30 million civil lawsuit [click here if you missed that].
Now a member of Diddy's legal high powered legal team has abruptly quit the case...
From The Daily Mail
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is facing a fresh crisis after his lawyer Anthony Ricco stepped down from his legal team with a very cryptic statement.
In a motion for withdraw of counsel filed in New York on Thursday, Ricco said 'under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs'.
The notice added that discussions had been had with lead counsel Marc Agnifilo and Ricco before the motion was filed.
Combs, 55, remains locked up at Brooklyn's infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in New York after he was arrested in September of last year.

under no circumstances huh? wow
I DON'T THINK THE ATTORNEY QUIT. I THINK HE WAS FIRED & WILL BE REPLACED BY AN ENITERLY NEW TEAM, WHICH WOULD BE MORE HELPFUL TO COMBS, WHO HAS SPENT A GRIP ON LEGAL FEES & GOT NOTHING IN RETURN.
*ENTIRELY*
Errr-body want to see them tapes with celebs like j, kanye, beych, and j-h0
The evidence is too strong to defend. Doodoo don't want to flea bargain for anytime. Where's the shoestrings? LOLO
I still say the feds ain't got sh@t on him! It's just a ploy to keep Diddy locked up. Everybody with claims or complaints are making it all up to get paid!
Maybe Diddy's trynna hire A$AP Rocky's attorneys.
12:58 &1:35 I totally agree
@1:18pm It Would Be Grievous Violation Of Their Privacy, but I Would Take A Peek.
I mean… what real evidence do they have besides a video of Cassie getting beat tf up and a bunch of baby oil? I haven’t been following along.
Ricco is a very accomplished attorney here in NY and has won infamous cases. he probably does not agree with the defense strategy that the team is putting together, trust this man has represented high profiles gangsters and drug dealers and got them off! he has also sued rikers on behalf of prison misconduct and won! this man knows what he is doing and will not quit anything unless he did not agree. he should have been first chair not third. that marc guy attorney has no clue what he is doing and will get diddy convicted
Puff cursed him clean the hell out for still being behind bars.
He wasn't fired. Diddy was trying to force him into doing something illegal and he wasn't having it.
The man had previously represented Osama Bin Laden. Puffy must have done something real bad for him to want to be off the case.
All those ppl/former clients went to jail, snitched, or was doomed from the start.
Diddy isn't on trial for murdering anyone but all of Ricco's former clients you named were. There's a difference.
Ricco should've plainly said he's "overwhelmed and don't know how to defend Diddy" because that's how it came off to me!
@6:58, I would do the same thing if I was paying top $$$ and the lawyer wasn't doing what I really needed him to do!
Ok, Imma say it: that attorney, who represented real criminals who were absolutely guilty of what they'd been charged with, thought that he'd rep Diddy, continue to get paid and not really form any type of defense for him, because going by his previously named clients, he knew those former clients never had a defense to begin with!
Sounds like Ricco wanted Diddy to plead or accept a plea deal instead of actually taking this case to a courtroom where he may not be properly prepared to defend Diddy. So I'm glad he "quit" though I believe he was Fired!
I heard diddy escaped
I think Ricco was fired too.
I think Puff probably saw A$AP Rocky get off them weapons charges and realized that his attorney wasn't going hard like A$AP Rocky's attorneys were thus Diddy fired his attorney in order to hire a more efficient one who actually might believe he's not guilty of all he's been charged with.
Nice viewpoint, 9:42 PM.
