Lawyers for Diddy have claimed his sex trafficking case may have to be dismissed due to ‘prosecutorial errors’ during a recent raid of the rap mogul’s prison cell.<\/p>\n

Attorney\u00a0Marc Agnifilo accused prosecutors of a ‘complete institutional failure’ that they say could have potentially jeopardized the case, during an emergency court hearing in New York on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The defense team claimed the rapper’s constitutional rights were violated last month when federal investigators seized 19 pages of his notes during a sweep of his cell and shared them with prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Agnifilo claimed the material contained\u00a0 Diddy’s handwritten privileged notes<\/span>\u00a0to his legal team concerning defense strategies for his upcoming trial.<\/p>\n

The court heard feds also seized Diddy’s ‘Things to Do’ list, which included telling a family member to ‘find dirt’ on two alleged victims, as well as pages in which he wrote ‘inspirational’ quotes for himself.<\/p>\n

Agnifilo called the pre-planned sweep a ‘pretext’ for a prison investigator to target Diddy \u2013 real name Sean Combs.<\/p>\n

The potential remedy could include the ‘dismissal of the indictment’, he said, or the recusal of the prosecution team.<\/p>\n

‘We don’t know enough to say which is the reasonable remedy’, he told the court.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the music mogul claim prosecutors have potentially jeopardized the case after seizing privileged material from his jail cell last month<\/p>\n

Judge Arun Subramanian ordered that the prosecution delete all of its copies of the papers for the time being.<\/p>\n

The emergency hearing came after the defense filed new court documents revealing they only learned prosecutors were in possession of the privileged material from the\u00a0 October 28 raid on Friday.<\/p>\n

Diddy has been languishing in jail as he awaits trial for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.<\/p>\n

He was arrested on September 17 and is expected to go on trial next May. He has denied all charges.<\/p>\n

Agnifilo told the court that defense lawyers are now looking into the incident to determine how serious the matter is.<\/p>\n

He also said the court needed to review the surveillance footage from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Diddy is being held, to work out what happened during the search.<\/p>\n

Judge Subramanian ordered the Bureau of Prisons to preserve the footage.<\/p>\n

Diddy, 55, was not shackled during his court appearance Tuesday, the first time he has been given such freedoms, after a judge\u00a0approved a request from his lawyers to remove them<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The disgraced rap mogul remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being repeatedly denied bail<\/p>\n

He appeared relaxed and was smiling as he walked in through a side door, cracking jokes with his lawyers and hugging them.<\/p>\n

Diddy appeared to enjoy working the room, craning his neck backwards to see who was in the public gallery and pointing towards a court sketch artist.<\/p>\n

In a dramatic moment, Agnifilo held up the files in question and handed one to the judge to review.<\/p>\n

Among the material which prosecutors had access to was notes Diddy took down after one of his lawyers suggested a potential expert witness, a retired doctor.<\/p>\n

Agnifilo said: ‘I cannot think of anything more in the heartland of attorney client privilege’.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Mary Slavik told the court that they had acted in a ‘completely appropriate’ fashion with regards to the documents.<\/p>\n

She said that the documents were given to a ‘Filter Team’ \u2013 a separate group of prosecutors \u2013 who reviewed them to see if they were privileged.<\/p>\n

Slavik said the notes in question included Diddy’s ‘Things to do’ list, mentions about family members and financial matters and ‘inspirational quotes’.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors claim that he tried to influence potential jurors in his trial by getting his seven children to post a video marking his birthday on November 4th<\/p>\n

One note talked about how he wanted to ‘find dirt’ on two different victims and Diddy wrote to a family member about ‘finding everything’ on one specific victim, the court was told.<\/p>\n

Judge Subramanian said that the issue with the notes was not their labeling but the ‘context in which they were taken’.<\/p>\n

He said that the court would resolve the legal privilege matter at a later date and that the next court appearance, Diddy’s bail hearing, would go ahead on Friday.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Tuesday lawyers for Diddy\u00a0requested he be allowed to appear unshackled for the all future court appearances.<\/p>\n

The request was filed by\u00a0 Agnifilo ahead of the\u00a0court appearance<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It comes after court documents filed on Friday revealed\u00a0Diddy<\/span>\u00a0has been accused of obstructing the prosecution’s case from behind bars by\u00a0paying off witnesses<\/span>\u00a0and enlisting his own children in a ‘public relations campaign’.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the disgraced hip hop mogul has ‘demonstrated an uncanny ability to get others to do his bidding’ even though he\u00a0is locked up<\/span>.<\/p>\n

They claim that he tried to influence potential jurors in his trial by getting his seven\u00a0children to post a video marking his birthday<\/span>\u00a0on November 4.<\/p>\n

Diddy allegedly paid off one witness after calling and texting her a staggering 128 times over four days from his jail cell to persuade her to support him.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors also claimed he used other inmates’ phone accounts to make calls to people he is not allowed to speak with and to ‘avoid law enforcement monitoring’.<\/p>\n

Dozens of people, some of whom were minors at the time, have\u00a0sued Diddy in civil courts for a string of offenses, which he also denies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
