Diddy Trial: Diddy Responds To The Government's Attempt To Keep Him Locked Up (7/4/25)

Beyond The Horizon

In a follow-up letter to Judge Subramanian, Sean Combs’ attorneys strongly urged the court to release him on bail immediately. They criticized the government for portraying Combs as the leader of a decades-long racketeering enterprise and devoting extensive resources to a case that, in their view, ultimately collapsed under scrutiny. The defense emphasized that after nearly a year of pretrial detention, a jury of Combs’ peers heard the full scope of the government’s evidence—including testimony from former partners—and decisively rejected the core allegations by acquitting him of both racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
The letter also underscored the relatively minor nature of the two counts on which Combs was convicted—interstate prostitution involving consenting adults. His lawyers noted that similar charges are no longer prosecuted by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the Los Angeles DA, and many others. They argued that further detention is unnecessary and unjust, especially given Combs' eligibility to serve any remaining sentence at a lower-security facility under the sentencing guidelines. According to the defense, every additional day he remains at the MDC amounts to an undue and disproportionate punishment.
