In a recent development, Diddy's legal team again seeks bail, following previous unsuccessful attempts, by referencing comparable cases where defendants were granted release.
The legal team representing the 55-year-old hip-hop artist has submitted a new motion in an ongoing effort to secure his release from incarceration as he awaits trial which is scheduled for 2025.
As per reports obtained by TMZ, legal papers reveal that Diddy's legal team is proposing an extensive bail arrangement that involves a $50 million bond and round-the-clock monitoring to prevent any attempts of escape or witness tampering.
His legal team has tried similar strategies on numerous occasions, but they are optimistic about the current situation.
They point to past cases where defendants facing similar charges were granted bail before their trial as a precedent for their argument, such as a CEO faced allegations of sex trafficking numerous young men, accompanied by an associate who engaged in witness intimidation.
In defense of Diddy, his legal team contends that the authorities initially requested a $10 million and a $500,000 bond, significantly lower than the $50 million bail package they are now proposing for this situation.
Throughout the legal proceedings, his legal representatives have emphasized that he has remained incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn due to a court decision insisting that "the defendant poses a threat."
In the wake of his arrest on September 16, Diddy faces a slew of charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering.
Over 120 individuals have stepped forward as potential victims, yet Diddy claims his innocence and is pushing for an expedited trial, aiming for a court date as soon as spring arrives.
