Diddy Makes New Bid For Bail: Drug Testing & No Female Visitors
Diddy, after being denied bail following his arrest on intercourse trafficking and racketeering prices, is giving it one other shot, and he’s providing further concessions if he’s launched: no non-family feminine guests and weekly drug testing.
On Wednesday morning (September 18), the Bad Boy mogul’s attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Teny R. Geragos despatched a letter to guage Andrew L. Carter, who will likely be overseeing a listening to interesting the bail choice, scheduled for 3:30 PM Eastern that very same day.
The letter lays out a bail bundle for Diddy, barely modified from the $50,000,000 one that they had proposed — and {that a} decide had rejected — a day earlier.
The primary variations are three situations, responding to issues Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky had mentioned in her preliminary ruling denying bail.
First, Diddy’s group presents to “Restrict all visitors to Mr. Combs’ residences except for family, property caretakers, and friends who are not considered to be co-conspirators.” Second, they are saying they are going to to “Restrict female visitors to Mr. Combs’ residence except for family, or mothers of his children.” Third, they promise the mogul will bear weekly drug testing.
All three stipulations appear to reply to Judge Tarnofsky’s ruling.
“I don’t know that I think you can trust yourself, and I don’t believe that counsel has the ability to control you, given the very significant concerns I have, particularly because of substance abuse and what seem like anger issues,” she mentioned to Diddy.
According to TMZ, a pink powder that examined optimistic for Ecstasy was amongst a number of medication present in Diddy’s lodge room upon his arrest.
In their letter, Diddy’s attorneys pressured their shopper’s cooperation with the federal government for months earlier than his arrest.
“Sean Combs has never evaded, avoided, eluded or run from a challenge in his life. He will not start now. As he has handled every hardship, he will meet this case head-on, he will work hard to defend himself, and he will prevail,” they wrote.
In addition, following up on the image they painted in the course of the unique bail listening to, they characterised Cassie‘s relationship with Diddy very differently than she did in her now-settled civil suit, accusing her of “extortion.”
The letter says that Cassie’s lawyer reached out to Diddy’s group, saying that Cassie had written a memoir that “would be embarrassing to Mr. Combs.” However, they proceed, this lawyer mentioned that publication might be prevented if Diddy paid $30,000,000. When that provide was turned down, they are saying, the civil swimsuit adopted.
The swimsuit “was not because he raped or sex trafficked anyone, but because of the disastrous consequences a lawsuit of this nature would have on him and his business interests,” Diddy’s attorneys wrote.
