Chris Darden, a former prosecutor, announced the decision in a Facebook post noting that he and his children had received threats after he took on the case.
Chris Darden, right, former O.J. Simpson prosecutor, is withdrawing from representing Eric Holder, left, charged with the murder of Nipsey Hussle.
He told The Times outside a downtown Los Angeles courtroom that he has been defending accused criminals, including gang members, for two decades. Darden was one of the prosecutors in the O.J. Simpson trial, in which the former football star was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. But in the years since, Darden has worked as a defense attorney in murder cases.“Twenty-five years I’ve been defending criminal cases. Why is that so interesting?” he said.
