Submit ReviewSean Combs is back in the Metropolitan Detention Center after U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter denied his appeal of the remand order.
Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky initially denied bail for the rapper on Tuesday, stating that Combs posed a danger and quoting, "I don’t know that you can trust yourself not to harm people."
In the appeal for monitored house arrest, Combs' attorney described the conditions at the Brooklyn facility as "horrific" and "not fit for pre-trial detention."
The defense proposed that Combs live alone at his Florida home, monitored by a 24/7 security team. Combs offered to relinquish access to his cell phone and the internet. The defense also suggested travel restrictions, noting that Combs had already surrendered his passport to his attorneys months ago.
His attorney also holds the passports of Combs' mother and dependent children. The proposed travel limits would confine Combs to the Southern District of New York and the Southern District of Florida, where he resides and has necessary medical appointments, details of which would be submitted under seal.
Attorney Marc Agnifilo’s amended bail package proposed no communication with women outside of direct family members and the mothers of his children, as well as no contact with known grand jury witnesses, specifically referencing "Victim 1," Cassandra Ventura.
The proposal also included the use of a private intelligence agency to monitor Combs 24/7, ensure he has no access to a cell phone or the internet, administer weekly drug tests, and maintain a daily visitors log.
In the end, Judge Andrew Carter, Jr. agreed with Judge Robyn Tarnofsky, stating that "there is no condition or combination of conditions to ensure he will not obstruct justice or tamper with witnesses."
Sean Combs remains in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn until his trial.
