STORYLINE:
Sean “Diddy" Combs’ lawyer arrived to court Wednesday for a second hearing on Combs’ bail in his sex trafficking and conspiracy case.
Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ attorney, said he was feeling confident as he walked to the courthouse in New York.
"We think the law and the facts are on our side, and we’re going to go try to get him out," said Agnifilo.
Lawyers for Combs asked a judge Wednesday to let him await his sex trafficking trial at his luxury home on an island near Miami Beach, rather than a grim federal jail in Brooklyn.
Combs’ lawyers offered a $50 million bail package — using his mansion as collateral — in exchange for releasing him to home detention with GPS monitoring. A
A hearing on the request was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
On Tuesday, a U.S. magistrate judge in Manhattan ordered Combs held without bail.
The hip-hop mogul whose career blossomed in the 1990s was arrested on Monday on charges contained in an indictment that accuses Combs of using his “power and prestige” for “sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, drug offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”
