Diddy has another bond hearing today, Friday, November 22. His lawyers have said he won't try to influence his case by contacting potential witnesses.
But prosecutors said he's already done that while at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center by using other inmates' phone access cards to make calls. They also claim that Diddy used a "non-authorized third-party messaging service" to contact people.
The thing is, Diddy's lawyers admitted that he did those things but chalked it up to a common jail practice.
"The use of other inmates' PAC numbers is also a widespread practice at the MDC and not obstruction," wrote Diddy's lawyer Alexandra A.E. Shapiro in a court filing. "Inmates routinely share their calling minutes with other inmates, and they are limited to 15 minutes per call and one call per hour. The government has presented no evidence suggesting anything Mr. Combs says using other numbers is any different from what he says while using his individual PAC number."
MDC's rules are clear because the U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons states, "An inmate may not possess another inmate’s telephone access code number."
So, there's a good chance Diddy will remain behind bars until his May 2025 trial. We'll have to see later today.
