Diddy’s Legal Team Plans Appeal Following Second Bail Denial

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' attorney plans to file an appeal for his release from prison after a second bail denial. Combs is accused of orchestrating sex performances and drugging victims. He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center, with his next court appearance scheduled for early October.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' attorney announced plans to file an appeal for his release from prison, according to court documents obtained by 'People' on Monday. Combs' lawyer, Alexandra Shapiro, filed a notice on Monday indicating their intent to appeal after Combs was denied bail twice. A source close to Combs told 'People' that the official appeal brief would be submitted soon.

The music mogul was arrested at a Manhattan hotel on September 16 at 8:25 p.m. The following day, a 14-page indictment was unsealed that revealed the charges against him. He is accused of organizing several 'freak offs,' described by prosecutors as 'elaborate and produced sex performances.' He is also alleged to have drugged and sexually assaulted his victims. On September 18, Combs was denied bail for the second time and is currently held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky, who denied his bail on September 17, cited concerns about his alleged 'substance abuse and anger issues. I don't know that you can trust yourself not to harm others,' she said. According to 'People,' Combs is reportedly no longer on suicide watch.

'He is focused and very strong. He is concentrating on his defense and preparing for his trial,' a lawyer for Combs told 'People.' Combs' next court appearance is scheduled for early October. (ANI)
