Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyer has indicated that his client is unlikely to accept a plea deal.
Despite being taken off suicide watch at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre, where he is facing charges of alleged sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, stated that it was unlikely he would agree to a plea bargain.
“It’s not up to me. It’s up to Mr. Combs,” he told TMZ’s The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, before adding, “and I don’t see it happening because he believes he’s innocent. And what’s more, he believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself – for his family and for everybody who’s been targeted by the federal government.”
Following a failed attempt to be placed under house arrest with GPS monitoring, Combs remains in jail as he awaits trial.
A judge ruled that even a $50 million bail offer was insufficient to ensure the safety of the community, citing concerns about potential threats or harm to witnesses. Combs is scheduled to appear in court on 9 October.
