Hey, I'm Kayla Brantley, reporter at large for the Daily Mail in Manhattan.
And I'm Marjorie Hernandez, West Coast news editor for DailyMail.com in Los Angeles.
And welcome to episode 10 of The Trial of Diddy. It's a quick update this week, as the case, quite naturally, has gone a little quiet ahead of the May 5th court date. But we also want to dig into some of your comments and thoughts that have come through. So stick around for that later on in the show. But now let's get to what's happening in the news. What do you have for us, Marjorie?
Thanks, Kayla. Well, this week, Sean Combs' legal team has asked the court for him to be released from jail in order to prepare for his trial beginning May 5th, 2025. The reason for this, his team have put forward is, quote, changed circumstances and they say new evidence. So his lawyers have filed this latest request for bail in a Manhattan federal court.
And it's always important to say that Combs has pleaded not guilty to all of these charges.
Of course. And in their court filing, his attorneys have proposed a, quote, far more robust bail package that would involve Diddy surrendering to a strict around-the-clock security monitoring and almost 100% restrictions on his ability to contact anybody but his lawyers. And also in his bail request, it comes with a cash package attached. as all of his other previous ones have. And it's actually the same amount of $50 million or nearly 39 million pounds. So if we dive into the document, we can see that there's a memo filed by Diddy's attorneys for his bond motion, which actually will be discussed next Friday on November 22nd. Other documents filed by the defense alleged the prosecutors actually have been leaking information to the media.
They're actually asking the judge to do something about, quote, the leaks and claim this is actually endangering Diddy's right to a fair trial. So the defense also provided their reasons why the prosecution should disclose names of the alleged victims. They're arguing that there's no way to prepare for Diddy's defense if they don't know exactly who will be called to testify against him.
Yeah, and Marjorie, I want to read this directly from the document. It says, quote, given the incredibly broad nature of the alleged conspiracy here, the government's response, which boils down to, you know what you did, is wholly unpersuasive. That is especially true given the wild and ever expanding allegations appearing in the press from both government agents and civil attorneys, unquote.
