2. SOUNDBITE (English) Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ attorney:
"I think that we made the points that we’ve been wanting to make. I think he came out. Mr. Combs is a fighter. He’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent. He came to New York to establish his innocence. He’s not afraid. He’s not afraid of the charges. There’s nothing that the government said in their presentation today that changes anyone’s mind about anything."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ attorney:
"We believe in him wholeheartedly. He didn’t do these things. This was a ten-year relationship. There’s no coercion. There’s no crime. There’s basically just, you know, someone who brought a civil case and now is finding themselves as a witness in a criminal case. And we’re going to fight this case with everything we have, as is he. And eventually he’s going to be shown to be innocent. And so tomorrow we fight again, and we fight. We’ll fight every day until we don’t have to fight anymore."
STORYLINE:
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been ordered held without bail in his federal sex trafficking case. U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky made the decision Tuesday after hearing lengthy arguments from prosecutors and Combs’ lawyers. Prosecutors wanted the music mogul held without bail.
“Mr. Combs is a fighter. He’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent,” his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said after court. As a start, he said he would appeal the bail decision.
Combs pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. An indictment accuses him of presiding over a sordid empire of sexual crimes, coercing and abusing women for years while using blackmail and shocking acts of violence to keep his victims in line.
