Diddy has been denied bond again on appeal...
From WSBTV
A second judge refused to grant bail to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs on Wednesday, saying the government had proved “by clear and convincing evidence” that no amount of bail could guarantee the hip-hop mogul won’t tamper with witnesses.
U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter handed down the ruling after prosecutors and defense lawyers presented strenuous arguments for and against a $50 million bail package that would allow Combs to be released to home detention with GPS monitoring and strict limitations on who could visit him.
Combs has been in federal custody since his arrest Monday night at a Manhattan hotel.
Arguing to keep him locked up, prosecutor Emily Johnson told U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter that the once-celebrated rapper has a long history of intimidating both accusers and witnesses to his alleged abuse. She cited text messages from women who said Combs forced them into “Freak Offs” and then threatened to leak videos of them engaging in sx acts.
Johnson said Combs’ defense team was “minimizing and horrifically understating” Combs’ propensity for violence, taking issue with his lawyer’s portrayal of a 2016 assault at a Los Angeles hotel as a lovers’ quarrel. Security video of the event showed Combs hitting his then-girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, in a hotel hallway.
Johnson seized on a text message from a woman who said Combs dragged her down a hallway by her hair. According to Johnson, the woman told the rapper: “I’m not a rag doll, I’m someone’s child.”
Combs is a “danger to the community and poses a serious risk to the integrity” of his case, Johnson argued.
Federal Magistrate Robyn F. Tarnofsky initially ruled that Combs was too dangerous to be freed. But Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, submitted a letter to Carter on Wednesday asking again for bail under conditions that would allow him to leave the Metropolitan Detention Center, the lockup on the Brooklyn waterfront where he was taken after his arraignment.Combs next court date is set for October.

Please stop post that unattractive face.
He is going to be puffy as hell when (or if)he gets out. I heard prison food is fattening.
When the Feds raided his house, he fled to an undisclosed Iland and was taking pictures as to mock them. I believe that stunt hurt him as a flight risk.
Honestly im shocked, i really did not think he would still be in jail, i thought they would give him bail, this ish serious, i need to read charges!!
