Meet Karen and Marc Agnifilo, a husband-and-wife legal team taking on two of the country's most high-profile cases. From opposing sides of the courtroom, they've now joined forces. Marc is leading rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense against serious charges, while Karen is at the helm of suspected healthcare executive Luigi Mangione's case. They're no strangers to high-stakes legal battles. Karen spent years as a top prosecutor in Manhattan, working on cases like Harvey Weinstein's. Marc, meanwhile, has defended notorious clients from Martin Shkreli to Keith Raniere. Their careers cross paths in an interesting way – they met while working on a gruesome bagel store machete case in the '90s. Now, they're using their combined expertise to tackle these complex cases.

Karen's background includes handling complex violent crime cases and creating specialized units like the Human Trafficking Unit and the Terrorism Unit. She's also been vocal about her shift to defense work, citing her kids' influence on her views about the criminal justice system. Marc, on the other hand, has always been on the defense side, representing clients in international, federal, and state cases. He believes in people's right to a fair trial, even unpopular or controversial clients.

Recently, the Agnifilos have been in the spotlight. Karen criticized the NYPD's treatment of her client, Mangione, during his perp walk. She argued it was a spectacle, drawing from her years of experience. Marc, too, has been pushing for Combs' release on bond before the trial.
