Phew! Just before Thanksgiving, the third attempt wasn't the appeal Diddy. Sean Combs will remain incarcerated at the Metro Detention Center in Brooklyn until his trial begins in 2025. A third judge denied Diddy's bail, according to the Associated Press.
Here's why another judge denied Diddy bail
The verdict was handed down on Wednesday (November 27) and the judge expressed concerns about Sean Combs' threat to the case. In five pages, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian declared that Diddy posed a “serious risk” to witnesses and evidence. As previously reported, officers found prohibited communications during a search of his cell at the MDC. This information was included in last week's bail hearing.

Prosecutors previously accused Diddy of using family members to change public perceptions of him and allegedly influence a future jury pool. Prosecutors cited his viral FaceTime call with his children on his 55th birthday. Meanwhile, the producer's lawyers tried to argue that Diddy was not a risk of escape or intimidation with $50 million in bail at stake. Ultimately, the judge disagreed with his defense and sided with the prosecutors. “There is compelling evidence of Combs' propensity for violence.”Justice Arun Subramanian wrote.
“The court finds that the government has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions can adequately ensure the safety of the community,” the judge added.
As noted, in the last few weeks since Diddy's arrest in September, two other judges have also agreed that Diddy would pose a danger on bail. He previously pleaded not guilty to charges related to racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. His trial is scheduled to begin on May 5th. At this time, his lawyers have not publicly commented on the verdict.
