Sean “Diddy” Combs has been in prison for two weeks. Now his new lawyer is again appealing against the rapper’s imprisonment.
Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs (54) has already tried to be released from prison on bail twice. Now his newly assembled legal team is making another attempt to secure his release. This emerges from current court documents that are available. The musician is currently facing a number of civil lawsuits. He has been in custody in the Brooklyn neighborhood since his arrest two weeks ago.
Accordingly, Alexandra Shapiro, who recently joined Combs’ legal team, filed a notice of intent to appeal on Monday in order to obtain her client’s release. The actual appeal will be filed soon, an insider reports. He also told “People” that the US musician had put together his “dream defense team” by hiring appellate attorney Shapiro and trial attorney Anthony Ricco in addition to his previous attorney Marc Agnifilo. , the pair’s engagement suggests that Combs is strengthening his defense ahead of the upcoming trial.
The authorities have been focusing on it since March
The federal authorities had already searched the music mogul’s house in March, and Combs was finally arrested in New York in mid-September. The court has already refused him bail twice due to the seriousness of the allegations.
The 20-page indictment shows that Combs is said to have abused, threatened and coerced women for decades. He is also accused of illegal sex trafficking and organized crime.
According to TMZ, the 54-year-old is not interested in making a deal with prosecutors that would allow him to avoid a trial. His original lawyer Agnifilo is said to make this clear in a new “TMZ” documentary. The lawyer said it wasn’t just about fighting for himself, but also for others in similar situations.
Agnifilo also says in the documentary, titled “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment,” that Sean “Diddy” Combs continues to insist he is innocent and sees no reason to accept a so-called “plea deal,” even if prosecutors should offer him one. As a matter of principle, Diddy would be turning down a chance for a lesser sentence in the worst case scenario for him. If found guilty, Diddy could face life in prison.
