Did Diddy Make Bail?

A judge denied Diddy’s bail proposal, and the rapper is currently being held at MDC Brooklyn before his next court hearing. Per CNN , Judge Robyn Tarnofsky told Combs that her primary concern is that “this is a crime that happens behind closed doors, even when pretrial services is monitoring.” Therefore, she decided against his request to be released from custody.

Diddy’s defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told reporters outside of the courthouse in New York City that his client “came here to turn himself in.”

“Why doesn’t the government want him to turn himself in? Because then they can’t ask for detention,” Agnifilo said, according to the outlet. “All we can do is show good faith. He got on a plane and he came here. They arrested a guy who came here to turn himself in.”

Agnifilo vowed that he would argue his same points again regarding Diddy, who pleaded not guilty to the sex trafficking charges.

“We’ll make it as much as we can until we get him out,” the attorney said.
