Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial updates: Bail denied due to 'propensity for violence'

Sean Combs' defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told reporters today is a "great day" while speaking outside the courthouse following the bail hearing.

"Today is a win," Agnifilo said. "Today is a victory of all victories for Sean Combs."

Agnifilo said the jury was "wonderful."

"They listened to every word, and they got the situation right, or certainly right enough," he said. "They acquitted him of the sex trafficking, which he was absolutely innocent of. They acquitted him of the racketeering conspiracy that he was absolutely innocent of."

After defense attorneys asked for a more expedited sentencing, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian agreed to move up the sentencing date from October. He did not set a new date for the sentencing itself.

For now, he set a remote conference for July 8 at 2 p.m. to hear arguments about next steps for pre-sentence process, including Combs' interview with the court's probation department.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian again denied the request to release Combs.

Sean Combs briefly tried to raise his hand to speak in court. The judge seemed to ignore the move and instead asked Assistant United States Attorney Maurene Comey to respond to the defense arguments.

"He is extremely violent with an extraordinary temper who has shown no remorse and no regret," said Comey. "His brazenness is unmatched."

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian told defense attorneys that Sean Combs' continued detention is in part because of the argument used by his lawyers to secure a partial acquittal -- that Combs engaged in domestic violence but not sex trafficking.

"You full-throatedly in your closing argument told the jury that there was violence here, and domestic violence is violence," Subramanian said. "You said this was a case that did have violence."

"As to the basic question of violence, you conceded that in your closing," Subramanian added.

Combs was seen passing multiple notes to defense attorney Marc Agnifilo, who continued to plead for the judge to release Combs.

"I just think we should trust him. He is not going to flee," Agnifilo said. "He just deserves the chance."

"If the trial showcases one thing, he has done remarkable things in his life. He has these flaws in his personality, which are significant and held him back," he said. "He is a man who is in the process of working on himself."

Subramanian has so far not indicated a willingness to change his ruling. The hearing continues.
