Seans Combs is back inside the walls of Metropolitan Detention Center after US District Judge Andrew Carter denied Combs appeal of his remand. Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky, initially denied the rapper's bail Tuesday, saying that Combs was a danger, quote, "I don't know that you can trust yourself" not to harm people. In the appeal asking for monitored house arrest, Combs' attorney wrote that the conditions at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as "horrific" and "not fit for pre-trial detention."
The defense proposed that Combs live at home alone in Florida, monitored by a 24/7 security team. Combs offered to give up any access to his cell phone or internet. There would also be travel restrictions for Combs, reporting the mogul turned his passport over to his attorneys months ago. His attorneyalso has possession of Combs' mother and dependent children's passports. Agnifilo proposed Combs be restricted to travel between the Southern District of New York and the Southern District of Florida, citing that Combs' main residence is in Miami, where Combs also has necessary medical appointments, to be detailed in a sealed submission.
Attorney Marc Agnifilo's amended bail package, proposed have no communication with women outside of direct family members and the mothers of his children, no contact with known grand jury witnesses, referring to ‘Victim 1', Cassandra Ventura. Again, Combs proposed using a private intelligence agency to monitor him 24/7 to ensure Diddy has no cell phone or internet access, administer weekly drug tests, and turn over a daily visitors log.
In the end, Judge Andrew Carter, Jr. Agreed with Judge Robyn Tarnofsky that quote, "there is no condition or combination of conditions to ensure he will not obstruct justice or tamper with witnesses." Sean Combs remanded back to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn until his trial.
