On consideration, there is a 3rd and 4th possibility:

(iii) Is that is that Herzog has finally got fed up with Berman ignoring his counsel and thereby instructing him in a way makes him look like a clown who is incapable of mounting a credible defence (on the basis that he is trying to defend the indefensible in an impossible bind).

(iv) Is that Herzog has come into possession of information or an admission that has convinced him of Berman's certain LEGAL guilt, and he is therefore unable to full-fill the requisites of a defence counsel where a not-guilty plea has been entered.

In most legal jurisdictions a defence lawyer must believe in the possibility (however slim, or on whatever tenuous legal grounds) of the technical innocence of their client in order to credibly argue in front of a court that they should be acquitted, rather than entering a guilty plea. Could it be that Berman now fails this test with Herzog? (Note there is a difference between 'factual' guilt and 'legal' guilt.). For example, if Berman is asking Herzog to lie under oath on his behalf, that would be enough to sever the ties!
