Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs' Attorney Mark Geragos Under Fire for Legal Misconduct
Prosecution accuses Diddy’s attorney of failing to follow legal protocols.
In court filings, the prosecution criticized attorney Mark Geragos for breaking essential courtroom protocols while serving as a quasi-attorney for Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Filing #319 highlights Geragos's presence during court sessions without officially filing a notice of appearance. It states, “The defense team appeared to consult with Mark Geragos and other members of the Geragos & Geragos law firm who were present in court.” Geragos, known for his longstanding collaboration with Diddy, has reportedly been orchestrating the defense from the sidelines.
Mark Geragos has been branded as Diddy’s ‘fixer’ attorney due to his contentious involvement in the trial, which includes allegations of victim intimidation. Claims related to Team Diddy’s harassment tactics against both victims and opposing attorneys have been extensively reported. Additionally, Geragos has made numerous media appearances attempting to influence public perceptions against the prosecution, including undermining grand jury witness testimonies.
The prosecution's filing reiterated concerns about Geragos's failure to formalize his role, stating, “Mr. Geragos and his firm have a long-standing relationship with the defendant… but neither Mr. Geragos nor any member of his firm has filed a notice of appearance in this case.” The government is requesting the court to formally reprimand Geragos for his inconsistent lawyer conduct, especially given his recent commentary on trial proceedings through his podcast "2 Angry Men" with Harvey Levin of TMZ fame.
The filing underscores the need for the court to guard against the so-called "carnival atmosphere" in this high-profile case, noting that both the defense and prosecution must adhere to proper legal and ethical standards during the trial. There have also been warnings from Diddy’s defense regarding the public comments made by attorneys for government witnesses, which may impair the fairness of judicial proceedings.
Furthermore, Mark Geragos is currently embroiled in three legal malpractice suits, with potential additional cases looming on the horizon. Observers have expressed skepticism about Team Diddy's strategy, asserting that they seem to believe they can operate without regard for established legal norms while others are bound to comply. Geragos maintains an active law license in California, and should anyone have further information on possible ethical violations, they are encouraged to report to the appropriate legal authorities.
