Diddy's Lawyers Ask for Him to Be Unshackled in Court to Avoid ‘Juror Bias’
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ legal team requested that the rapper be unshackled at all future court appearances to avoid ‘juror bias’
Judge Arun Subramanian rejected the rapper’s gag order request, which would prevent government officials from leaking information about his case as he remains in jail, on Friday, October 25, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. “Since the defendant has been detained at MDC, he has continued to try to evade law enforcement monitoring, corruptly influence witness testimony, and further attack the integrity of these proceedings,” the court documents, obtained by CNN, read. “While attempting to evade law enforcement monitoring, the defendant has, among other things, orchestrated social media campaigns that are, in his own words, aimed at tainting the jury pool; made efforts to publicly leak materials he views as helpful to his case; and contacted witnesses through third parties.”
