It’s been said that court cases are won and lost in the pretrial motions. Be as it may, we are witnessing some high-intensity moves by prosecution and defense as both sides prepare for the May 2025 trial of mogul rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Now, the latest development in the saga is that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs jail cell was reportedly raided by the feds, who are said to have seized his handwritten notes to his legal team.
Daily Mail reported:
“Prosecutors are in possession of attorney-client privileged material that was seized from the disgraced rapper’s jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.”
Combs attorney Marc Agnifilo says it’s privileged material that includes the rapper’s handwritten notes to his legal team concerning both defense witnesses and also defense strategies for his upcoming trial.
Agnifilo says the feds admit to possessing the material, and that ‘the seizure violates Diddy’s Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights’.
“’This search and seizure are in violation of Mr. Combs’ [constitutional] rights,’ Agnifilo said in documents viewed by Billboard.
‘The targeted seizure of a pre-trial detainee’s work product and privileged materials – created in preparation for trial – is outrageous government conduct amounting to a substantive due process violation.
This is a matter of grave concern that, most respectfully, must be addressed immediately, because the U.S. Attorney, and it seems the trial prosecutors, are currently in possession of privileged materials we request a full evidentiary hearing as soon as the Court can accommodate us’.”
Combs has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He has pleaded not guilty to coercing and abusing women aided by associates and employees, and to silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
“The prosecution has accused Diddy of obstructing his sex trafficking case from behind bars by paying off witnesses and enlisting his own children in a ‘public relations campaign’.”
Prosecutors say he influenced potential jurors in his trial with seven of his children on a video marking his birthday, and – what’s worse – the rapper allegedly paid off one witness after harassing her 128 times from prison to persuade her to support him.
Combs will be back in court next Friday (22) for a bail hearing in a renewed request for him to be freed.
