Thursday, July 3, 2025 - Following a partial verdict in his high-profile case, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team is pushing hard for his release, arguing that the charges no longer justify his continued detention.
According to AllHipHop, after two days of deliberation, the
jury cleared the music mogul of the most serious allegations — including
racketeering, forced sex trafficking, and the trafficking of singer Cassie
Ventura and another accuser referred to as “Jane.”
However, the jury did find him guilty on two counts of
transporting both women across state lines for the purpose of prostitution.
Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, made an urgent plea to the
judge for the Bad Boy Records founder to be granted release on a $1 million
bond.
“He is no
longer charged with sex trafficking or racketeering. His plane has been
chartered – it is in Maui. He does not have access to his plane. This is his
first conviction, and it is a prostitution offense. He should be released,”
Agnifilo argued in court.
The defense also noted that Diddy’s family was present and
willing to co-sign the bond.
“He should
be released today, to go back and live at Two Star Island,” the lawyer added.
However, federal prosecutors strongly opposed the motion,
warning that the rap mogul remained a flight risk and a danger.
“The
defendant faces a maximum sentence of twenty years. Even while faced with this
case, he assaulted Jane… Here in NY, preparing to surrender, he had drugs in
his hotel room, was ready to commit this same offense,” prosecutors stated.
Judge Subramanian acknowledged Diddy’s visible discomfort
during proceedings, noting:
“Mr. Combs
does not want to go back to the MDC, he is shaking his head.”
