Sean Combs Prosecutors Ask to Restrain Celeb Lawyer During Trial

Prosecutors say Sean Combs is using Mark Geragos as an advisor during his trial, so the lawyer should be restrained from making public comments.

Celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos hasn’t officially joined Sean Combs ’ defense team, but he was present in court for the start of jury selection Monday, and prosecutors want him restrained from publicly stating his opinions about the case. The prosecutors called out Geragos’ comments about the surveillance video recorded inside the Intercontinental Hotel that shows Combs beating his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in 2016. Combs, 55, was arrested last September and immediately pleaded not guilty to allegations he trafficked multiple women under a “criminal enterprise” that used violence, threats, and manipulation to fulfill his “sexual gratification.” The Bad Boy Records founder has been in custody ever since and repeatedly denied bail.
