Last month Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, was denied bail for the fourth time after prosecutors accused him of tampering with witnesses in his Manhattan RICO case [click here if you missed that].
This week Diddy was granted access to all the evidence the Department of Justice has against him...
From E!Online
Sean "Diddy" Combs is getting access to a computer as he awaits trial on six trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in pr**titution charges.
The rapper—who remains locked up at Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center after being denied bail multiple times—has been issued a laptop on which he can review documents pertaining to his criminal case, according to a court order obtained by E! News.
"The MDC is ordered to give Defendant access to the Discovery Laptop seven days per week from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM," a decree signed by Judge Arun Subramanian Dec. 12 read. "This can be in his unit's visiting room or in his unit's VTC room."
However, the judge set out that the purpose of the laptop is "not to take or store notes."
"It is the Court's understanding that the laptop has been pre-loaded with discovery materials," Subramanian continued, "but does not allow any functionality beyond reviewing those materials."
If Combs "wishes for broader access" on his laptop, Subramanian said the 55-year-old and his legal team will need to discuss it with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and "consider any reasonable proposals in good faith."
"If there are further disputes, the Court will consider adjustments to this order," Subramanian—who was assigned to the case in October—added, noting that any proposals "should be mindful" of the materials stored on the laptop and that Combs is "not isolated in his unit."
