Hey, I'm Kayla Brantley, reporter at large for the Daily Mail in Manhattan. And I'm Marjorie Hernandez, DailyMail.com's West Coast news editor. And welcome to episode 13 of The Trial of Diddy. And welcome back, Marjorie, who has been on vacation for the last two weeks. Thank you. Thank you so much. Happy to be back.
Marjorie Hernandez 2:46
I've been moving for the past two weeks and I don't see the end of it. Right now I'm living in boxes, but good to be back.
Kayla Brantley 2:55
Well, it's very good to have you back. I'm very happy to have you back and I'm sure our listeners have as well. Yeah, I've missed so much or so much went on the past two weeks that I've been gone. Yeah. Yeah. So two questions. One, did you miss us? Two, have you been keeping up with the events?
Marjorie Hernandez 3:12
Definitely. Definitely. Of course. Yeah. And a lot of startling news again coming out of court. So we'll get into it.

So they believe there was sufficient evidence that he actually interfered with the case or even tried to flee before the trial, which is now set for May 2025. And they also talked about an alleged, quote, pattern of violence toward women and his own staff. Now, his defense attorneys also argued that he's been unconstitutionally held in jail and effectively been silenced since he was first arrested back in September.

What was the outcome of Diddy's bail plea?

Marjorie Hernandez 4:20
They went on to claim that the government had launched a campaign against Diddy to prevent him from getting a fair trial and that their client is, quote, not required to sit idly by and acquiesce to all of this.
Kayla Brantley 4:33
And Judge Subramanian, who had reportedly been open to the idea of releasing Combs to detention with around-the-clock security at a three-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, decided last week that Combs should be denied bail for a third time. And he'll now remain behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. And like you know, this all came just before Thanksgiving and he...
