About
Marc A. Agnifilo served as defense trial counsel for Sean Combs. His explicitly mapped examination work included David James's recross and the cross-examinations of Lance Jimenez and Derek Ferguson.
Agnifilo also participated in an in-trial dispute over defense exhibit disclosure. The court denied the defense request concerning the timing of production and directed that the exhibits be produced before cross-examination.
During the closing-argument curative-instruction hearing, the defense argued that its comments were fair argument about the evidence and said it would clarify the distinction between racketeering activity and separately charged counts. The defense disagreed that its closing was improper, raised concerns about the government's closing, and objected to an immediate curative instruction. The court expressed concern that inviting jurors to ask why charges were brought would call for speculation outside the evidence.
