The lawyer of suspected assassin Luigi Mangione and Sean 'Diddy' Combs' attorney are married.
Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a powerful New York attorney, was recently appointed to represent Mangione, who is accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4 outside a hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
Meanwhile, her husband, Marc Agnifilo, has been representing the embattled rapper facing a slew of sex trafficking charges.
Karen, 58, was previously a prosecutor who worked as the head of the sex crimes unit in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
In 2021 she decided to leave her longtime career as second in command to District Attorney Cyrus Vance to join her husband Marc, 60, at his private firm, Agnifilo Intrater LLP.
The legal power couple previously experienced friction in their careers back in 2017 when Karen had no choice but to step down from Harvey Weinstein's case after it was revealed Marc was working with the disgraced movie mogul's defense attorney, according to the Daily Beast.
Mangione, 26, chose to replace his initial representation Thomas Dickey with Karen, who has been described as someone who 'knows every corridor, every judge, every clerk in the courthouse' in the Big Apple, a source told CNN.
'She's got as much experience as any human being, especially in the state court,' they added.
Karen was also previously employed by CNN as a legal analyst, and other than working with her husband, she also worked at Geragos & Geragos, the high-powered LA firm that currently represents the Menendez brothers.
News about her being appointed Mangione's new attorney comes as multiple crowdfunding attempts have been made to raise money for his defense, according to ABC News.
Mangione was arrested in Pennsylvania on firearms charges, and is due in court on Tuesday where he is expected to fight extradition to New York City for allegedly slaying Thompson, 50.
