New Delhi, India
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been trying hard to get out of jail pre-trial. His legal team is so desperate to get him out that they have filed a third appeal to the United States Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit and have suggested some very strict bail conditions for the rapper.
Prior to this appeal, Sean Diddy was denied bail twice by the court. This, even after he proposed $50 million instead of the average $2 million.

Sean is currently locked up in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Centre in harsh conditions as he awaits trial.
The new appeal by Diddy’s team challenges the previous judgement made by the Southern District of New York which denied him bail twice. The court denied bail saying that he could create obstruction to justice and witness tampering against the mogul. Diddy’s legal team said that they are ready for strict bail conditions and have said these allegations hold no value since there is no evidence for the same.
The prosecutors in their previous appeals said that they were tensed that the rapper would attempt to intimidate the witnesses and obstruct the case if granted bail. They also said that he could be a flight risk given his wealth status and private planes.
When earlier applied for bail, Diddy was willing to give his Miami mansion and his mom’s home as a collateral addition to the $50 million bond for jail. He was also willing to wear a GPS monitor at all times and restrict his movements to New York and Miami along with selling off his private plane which is reportedly stationed in Los Angeles.

Diddy’s defence claims that these allegations of him obstructing justice are “vague” and “speculative”. They insisted that the court had made a legal error in its judgement by making a decision “without fact-finding or analysis.”

Diddy’s team also stated that they have assembled “a robust bail package with extremely restrictive conditions” for Diddy which comprises of home detention with GPS monitoring, no availability of mobile phones and zero access to the internet, 24/7 supervision, zero interaction with females except for visits by the mothers of his children and his mom, according to reports in Page Six.
