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.

ChrisDardenLAW what do you think would happen dummy. cloutchasing

Human.STUPIDITY.

This is the only update so far!🤔Mr. Holder was missing for 48hrs?Mr. Lathan was in custody? How about the other suspects in the video?Female in the Black Audi? She has eyes on Nip before and during the crime.(returns!) Male in the white car where weapon was possibly thrown into?

That's fucked up. Every man deserve a fair day at trail. No matter the crime. Idc what lawyer you got Guilty is Guilty.

Chris doing anything for check now huh

There shouldn't be any trial but lethal injection on this murderer,who shot and killed a family man point blank.

Every other attorney in California that was asked to represent Eric Holder for killing Nipsey Hussle

Darden should be representing black men, wrongfully accused of a crime! There thousands who could use him as a defense lawyer who actually merit it. But he picks this fool. Smh

Honestly, this is wrong. Nipsey shooter isn’t some rich person with loads of cash to give this attorney. Chris did this for principle, and it’s sad people don’t see that

This isn't shocking at all, such an highly publicized case could possibly destroy his legal career.

This fool thinks its a game.

WOW, I can't blame HIM, many people',STILL 'Upset ',by NIPSEY hussels, MURDER.....my question CAN the alleged person GET A fair trial in California, if not WHERE in USA, CAN HE

Lets talk about the black on black violence in Chicago

SamMobasher damn it’s that serious

Family 1

Vonnieradass thats what the government do ya.. he thought

Next.

I’m not surprised. 😒

Somebody was starting to feel that heat🔥🔥

So “defending a black man” for killing another black man is racial issue (again)? Hence the death threats? Hmmm...also curious as to where these ‘death threats’ are really originating from. 🤔🤔🤔 TypicalL.A.Times 🙄

This guy has no clue on what it means to support the black community

Why did he take the case idiot

😯 👍🏼

The world we are living full of threats and killers.

Smh

Good take your ass on.

Dummy should of never taken the case just trying to get back in the limelight using Nipsey death as a platform. Found out real quick people not playing over Nip the outrage is real & disrespect won't be tolerated from anyone! 🏁 RIPNipsey

Was it for the money or fame? Why did he even bother taking the case anyway.

NipseyHussle miss you man. TMC 💙🏁

I am stunned and shocked to find out that Chris Darden Is still able to find work as a trial lawyer.

Lord protect this man.

ArieWright790

See he does retain experiance learned not to fight an unwinable waste of time fight . now on to what he does best.

Will the judge allow him to withdraw?

Opportunist fail.

Chris Holder the man who in cold blood murdered Nipsey Hussle will forever keep in the solitary confinement. One would imagine he can never be placed in the general population ever.

I still remember the OJ trial to this day.

Smh.... He should not have ever took that case to begin with... choices....

BDSavy 👀

He don’t need a attorney! We got video of the crime, we saw what happen! Take his life. No jail time none of that, he doesn’t deserve to breathe in a cell after gunning a man down broad day at a shopping center! Fuck the laws now! Lets be lower than him for a day just ONE

So Kim Kardashian is following in these footsteps as you the desperate fans cheer her on, but you take issue with this guy? I guess it's how one plays the part? Your all pathetic

Sound like them 20+20+20's got to'em 📞😤 Bodies poopin up, lawyer's dropping out... This shit like a movie NipseyHussle 🙌

Correction: He was the one that Lost the OJ trial. “Try on the gloves.” Oops, the glove didn’t fit so you hafta aquit. And they did. RIPJohnnyCochran and Nipsy. ❤️

how’d this bumass afford chris darden?

Personal reasons? Streets talk homie. LA stand up!

I remember him

So, the people who claimed this was a government hit job have backed off?

Wow.

Like he didn't know that would happen?

Now he knows, this is deeper than the O.J. case.

I strongly feel this man wasn’t the only one. I strongly feel this man may not even be the one. Something just doesn’t sit right with me on this man being his killer.

ThankYou Next!!

Grand standing Coon

All this fuzz, yet still so many unanswered questions. It's ok, I'll w8.

First clue this was not a good idea: Your client’s gang name is “Shitty Cuz”

Bruh, people really be angry at defense attorneys who simply does his/her duties. One thing to note is that doing justice is the least thing they ought to do. Smh, plus they are the last ones who have the defendants back.

I don’t blame this man for stepping down. Threats to family and friends are REAL! 😭 Now this man was caught on camera right?! Does that mean he shouldn’t get his day in trial? Absolutely not. 😤👩‍⚖️ 👨‍⚖️ 2019iswild

Deleted my tweet calling him a pussy. I thought he was prosecuting dude. 🙅🏽‍♀️

The LA streets ain't letting him represent that clown! Smart move

Lol man said shit I can’t put the murderers in jail might as well set them free.

I don’t feel sorry for Chris Darden his greed & need to be famous put his family in danger. No one forced him to represent that guy except the dollar signs dancing in his head from future clients. He is a glorified ambulance chaser

but you signed up for it, that's the problem

Nettaaaaaaaa A conscience must’ve got to him

He knew what he was doing! Fuck him 🏁

Got his name out there and now he's withdrawing?

FDB he knew what it was wn he signed up. Lol ho knew he was playin w 🔥

King_Shaud_757

This is what needed to happen in the first place ! He should have never took on his case. I think he dropped it because his daughter was getting harassed and was receiving death threats. NipseyHussle TMC 🏁

Good!

ChrisDardenLAW

That same guy who asked OJ to try on the glove? The maybe worst move ever by a prosecutor? That guy?

He did it for publicity but realized that it was just too hot.

Couldn’t take that heat huh!

Damn right it was personal. But Darden is not too bad! He has shown that loyalty to his race is more important than playing some game. The papers can spin it how ever they want to..but the man responded to the wishes of his people. Me..betray black people or lie to them! Fuck no!

Good, fuck Darden

ConscienceOrCrazy Podcast Copy Or Click The Link

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

He just wanted his name back out there 😒

It makes sense why would that murder getaway with a Good lawyer let him get a court appointed lawyer so that he can Pay for what he did. His lawyer should have known who he was representing

He was probably receiving death threats.

EricHaywood ChinaskiOficial

whatwouldatticusdo

He (Eric Holder), couldn't afford Chris Darden fees so he step down from being his lawyer....

Itch scratched, clout secured. Now moving on, can that man face justice for taking the life of a king?

They put pressure on his simple self!

He just wanted some publicity!

Nipsey was about peace, not about death threats, come on people..

This is wrong to threaten someone’s family...let the shit play out in the court room!

Seriously. His name is nipsie huddle? LOL

Meanwhile George Zi....nvrmd...exhausting

That fool figured there's no way in hell he's winning this case.

Silly dude should’ve took this case in the first place and cats still gone be on his head anyway....acting dumb like he don’t understand why they pointing him out smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

He was crying in the TV show not surprised

Sense there is no fame or money, the ego maniac lawyer is dropping the case...classic.

Classic example of failure to read the room.

👀

Her_Exxperience

Good to kno, wtf

Cause he knows damn well the monster he’s defending killed a king!! Good... now go!!

Wh in the fuck did you accept the case? 🤨 ChrisDarden 🖕🏿

....ya think 🤷🏽‍♀️

Eric Holder should’ve pleaded guilty. I hope his new public defender does a terrible job and he gets locked up for a 100 years.

Had to know this was coming. Should've had the discernment and foresight to not subject yourself and family to this.

Guy can’t catch a break

The beginning of the story now. He will tell now. R.i.H 👑 N.P Marathon Go Fast.

Some people aren’t worth defending. Rolling60s Farrakhan DeadManWalking

Does anyone else just picture Randall from This Is Us whenever they hear Chris Darden’s name?

How is Eric Holder able to afford Chris Darden? 🤔

So desperate to be relevant

Shocking. The mob is out again.

how desperate are you when you're hiring the guy who lost the OJ case. He managed to put the entire jury to sleep during the final arguments..

He's lucky he's alive after opposing OJ, they'd slit his throat if it was today.

When the lawyer withdraw like that. It's a conflict of interest,The lawyer that represents you..No longer wants to fight for your freedom.Cause he also wants you in prison..

Darden is still a.lousy lawyer

Darden sounds like a good guy

Coward

Marcia Clark said he couldn't do it.

Yeah, accepting that case may have not been the best move Chris... 😬

Wasn't Nipsey kind of asking for it?
