‘I WAS SAD TO LEAVE HIM’ Lawyer Nicholas Kaufman says he was sad to leave as counsel of former president Rodrigo Duterte in the crimes against humanity case filed against him before the International Criminal Court. “I was sad to leave him. It has been a privilege for me to represent the former President. I thank both him and the many thousands of supporters who have shown their appreciation for my efforts on his behalf,” Kaufman said in a message to reporters. “If my withdrawal is approved, I am convinced that I will be leaving Tatay Digong in safe hands. May God bless the former President, the Duterte family and the Filipino nation. Daghang Salamat!” he added. Kaufman filed a request to withdraw as Duterte’s counsel, saying a replacement will take over the case. The Trial Chamber III has yet to act on Kaufman’s request. The judges earlier granted a separate request of French lawyer Dov Jacobs to withdraw as Associate Counsel for Duterte. | @jvrmateo
