An Editorial Opinion
Sean “Diddy” hired attorney Marc Agnifilo to represent him in his federal racketeering, sex trafficking, and interstate prostitution case in New York. Agnifilo, a New York criminal attorney, previously represented Keith Raniere, a infamous cult leader who was convicted on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges following a trial in 2019. Raniere was sentenced to 120 years in prison.
Agnifilo only lists two acquittals in criminal cases and one non-prosecution agreement on his law firm's résumé. Agnifilo’s overall win-loss record in jury trials cannot be ascertained from his published résumé.
As the Raniere case makes clear, when Marc Agnifilo does lose a federal racketeering and sex trafficking case, he loses it is a big way.
Agnifilo is Making No Move to Transfer Diddy to a Safer Detention Center
Diddy is housed in a segregated part of the federal detention center in Brooklyn, New York called the “Hole.” This is a horrible place for any criminal client to be detained. It is a nasty, filthy, violent hellhole.
Last week, Diddy was placed on suicide watch.
Yesterday, Agnifilo notified the trial judge in Diddy’s case that he would not pursue legal action seeking to transfer Diddy to a safer detention facility.
Agnifilo's letter to Judge Andrew Carter is bizarre. It will take a miracle for Diddy to make it out of the federal detention center in Brooklyn alive.
