Cassie feared for her safety after hearing the shocking verdict for her ex-friendly friend of her ex-gut- Ami Diddy.
On Wednesday, July 2, the music magnate was found guilty for two transporter for prostitution involving Cassie and another of his ex, “Jane Doe”. The two women testified against him during the seven -week trial. However, Combs was acquitted sex and racketeering – the most serious accusations against him.
Now, Ventura’s lawyer has urged the court to keep combs behind bars while waiting for the conviction, arguing that the musical magnate presents a risk for it and other witnesses.
In a letter to judge Arun Subramanian, lawyer Douglas Wigdor detailed the fear of Ventura that Combs could endanger those who testified against him, including herself.
“Ms. Ventura believes that Mr. Combs is likely to pose a danger to the victims who testified in this case, including itself, as well as the community,” said the letter, by People magazine.
The defense of Combs a at the counteract with his own request for obligation, seeking a guarantee of $ 1 million co-signed by family members and the mother of her older child.
However, judge Subramanian refused to grant the liberation under bond because the defense has not proven that Combs represents “no danger for a person”.
“You are in its own right in your closing argument at the jury that there was violence here,” Subramanian told the defense team.
Combs, 55, risks up to 20 years in prison, although his team requests a mandate of 21 to 27 months. His conviction is scheduled for October 3, with a July 8 hearing to decide to move this date earlier.
