Diddy won't accept a plea deal

Diddy's attorney made it clear in a recently released documentary titled “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment” that there is no reason for the Bad Boy Records owner to accept a plea deal. Agnifilo said Combs will maintain his innocence during the trial. He said, “Diddy says he's innocent… so he sees no reason to take a plea deal – even if the prosecution offers it,” adding that the rapper is not only fighting to prove his innocence, but also To inspire people who are going through government persecution.

The lawyer added: “He is using his case to inspire others who believe they are at risk of government persecution – he wants to inspire them to fight back when the government strikes,” Daily Express US reported.

Diddy was denied bail twice, offering $50 million against the regular $2 million for the bail application. He expected to appear before a judge in early October for the first time since his arrest.
