The court has rebuffed Combs' bids for bail two other times.
” Combs will stay in prison as he awaits trial, with a federal judge denying his bid for a $50 million bail package.U.S District Judge Arun Subramanian on Wednesday handed down the decision after a bail hearing last week. His decision on the matter was delayed as he requested more information on Combs’ communications with others while he has been in prison.
In turn, Combs’ defense team, led by attorney Marc Agnifilo, claimed prosecutors had unjustly seized attorney-client privileged material from Combs’ jail cell during a raid. Subramanian ruled that prosecutors must delete images of Combs’ handwritten notes about legal strategies and potential witnesses. In documents filed Monday, they added that Combs had a constitutional right to help his lawyers in reaching out to witnesses and said the birthday messages for his children were “innocuous.
“The government’s arguments that asking his children to post birthday wishes on Instagram and that he is not entitled to publicly express his opinion that this prosecution is racially motivated are, quite simply, an unconstitutional effort to silence him,” the filing reads. A video of Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, at a Los Angeles hotel has also repeatedly been brought up by prosecutors as evidence that the rapper could become violent if released.
