And he's not. He's innocent of this charge, obviously he's going to fight for Mr. Combs with all his strength and the full confidence of his lawyers.

“I'm going to fight like hell to get him released, and he should be released,” Agnifilo added, “because of what he's done and coming here willingly.”

In TMZ's documentary, “Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment,” Agnifilo said Diddy was “very interested” in telling the truth.

“I don't know if I could keep him off the stand,” Agnifilo said in the documentary. “I think he's very interested in telling his story. And I think he'll tell every part of the story, including what you see in the video. So, I hope it's explained by both of us.”
