Overview
- Combs was convicted on July 2 of two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution after jurors acquitted him on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges.
- He faces a potential sentence of up to 20 years and remains detained ahead of his October 3 sentencing.
- This marks his fourth bail petition since conviction, with Judge Subramanian consistently citing flight-risk and witness-tampering concerns in each denial.
- Defense filings portray the Metropolitan Detention Center as “inhumane,” citing expired or maggot-infested food and frequent lockdowns as exceptional circumstances.
- Unconfirmed reports suggest President Trump may consider a pardon for Combs, though the White House has declined to comment.
