A federal judge rejected Sean 맥스카지노�Diddy맥스카지노� Combs맥스카지노� attempt to silence all potential witnesses in his criminal sex trafficking case on Friday, saying his concerns do not outweigh an alleged victim맥스카지노�s right to free speech.Combs맥스카지노� team moved for a gag order to stop potential witnesses and their attorneys from speaking publicly after more than a dozen civil lawsuits were filed alleging sexual assault and following media interviews one witness gave after he appeared before the grand jury.Judge Arun Subramanian said he is balancing Combs맥스카지노� right to a fair trial with the First Amendment rights of his alleged victims.맥스카지노�Not all alleged victims will be participants in this case, and a blanket restriction on their speech will silence individuals who may never have anything to do with the proceedings here. And in any event, less restrictive alternatives must be considered and rejected before imposing a restraint on speech,맥스카지노� Judge Subramanian wrote in the order.The order comes as Combs맥스카지노� legal team filed a new request seeking release from jail based on new information, they argue, that undercuts the prosecution맥스카지노�s allegations that Combs forced women and others to engage in drug-fueled, days-long sex acts.Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has said the allegations in the civil lawsuits, including abuse of minors, are 맥스카지노�absolutely false.맥스카지노�Combs was twice denied bail, first by the magistrate judge who he appeared before, and again by the trial judge assigned the case. That judge recused himself and the case was transferred to Judge Subramanian.Prosecutors have argued Combs poses a physical threat to witnesses and victims, and engaged in witness tampering by having contact with certain individuals connected to the case.In a court filing with numerous redactions, Combs맥스카지노� attorneys claim that information they맥스카지노�ve obtained from prosecutors 맥스카지노�negates맥스카지노� the government맥스카지노�s claim that there is a second victim 맥스카지노� in addition to 맥스카지노�Victim 1맥스카지노� as identified in the indictment 맥스카지노� and weakens prosecutors맥스카지노� allegation of witness tampering.맥스카지노�The new material demonstrates that the government previously misrepresented the weight of the evidence. And it undermines the government맥스카지노�s claim that Mr. Combs presents a danger,맥스카지노� Combs맥스카지노� lawyers wrote to the judge.Combs맥스카지노� legal team said there is evidence that undermines the core allegation that he sex trafficked his former long-term girlfriend, identified as Victim 1 in the indictment.맥스카지노�The government recycled Victim 1맥스카지노�s allegations, but the case requires her potential testimony, which will be refuted by years of written correspondence and other documentary evidence.맥스카지노�Combs맥스카지노� lawyers also argued that the conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center, where he is housed, make it difficult to prepare for trial. During a recent government sweep of the federal jail, they said, guards confiscated Combs맥스카지노� pens.맥스카지노�Officers ruffled through his personal notes and left them scattered, out of order and disorganized. These notes included his work product and notes reflecting communications with defense counsel. The officers also seized Mr. Combs맥스카지노� pens, leaving him unable to take further notes while reviewing discovery or during counseled calls,맥스카지노� they wrote.Combs맥스카지노� team proposed a bail package that is similar to packages previously rejected by the judges. In addition to the $50 million bond, co-signed by Combs, his mother, the adult sons and others, they propose home detention with GPS monitoring and 24/7 monitoring by private security.Visitors would be limited to Combs맥스카지노� lawyers and family members under the latest proposal. In his prior bail proposal, Combs did not seek to exclude employees, friends or others from visiting.Combs맥스카지노� lawyers compared his proposed package to a deal prosecutors with the Eastern District of New York agreed to in the sex trafficking case against the former chief executive of Abercrombie & Fitch, who was released on $10 million bond.
