Lawyer for Nipsey Hussle's accused killer withdraws after threats IOL_Lifestyle
Los Angeles - Prominent defense attorney Chris Darden, a one-time member of the OJ Simpson prosecution team who was representing the accused killer of Los Angeles rapper-activist Nipsey Hussle, withdrew from the case on Friday, citing threats against his family.
In a post on Facebook, Darden wrote that he was withdrawing from the case because he and his family had received threats. "Or why defending such a man should invite threats not only against me but against my children too," he added. "Just as they were in 1995-Cowards never change," Darden wrote. "These days these cowards don’t send letters, instead they sit anonymously behind keyboards threatening a man’s mother and children."
