A letter from a witness for the prosecution who ‘disappeared’ is not expected to change the course of the Judge’s bail decision.
In the high-profile trial of disgraced mogul rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, there is an ongoing dispute as to whether he will be granted bail pending his October 3 sentencing.
Judge Arun Subramanian has already denied four bail requests, and is not expected to change his mind now – but a surprising development may change the course of the decision.
Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Virginia “Gina” Huynh, who was supposed to testify under pseudonym – but severed contects with prosecutors – wrote a letter to the judge asking for him to be released on bail ahead of his sentencing.
People reported:
“Huynh, who was referred to “Victim-3” in Combs’ indictment, identified herself by name for the first time and asked the judge to grant the music mogul bond to […] ‘allow him to continue caring for his family and fulfilling his responsibilities while still subject to the Court’s supervision’.
The letter was submitted to the court on Sunday, Aug. 3, by Combs’ defense team. Huynh also wrote that she does not believe Combs is a danger to the public and that he is a committed ‘family man … who has not been violent in many years’. ‘I believe it is important for the Court to have a full picture of who he is beyond the allegations’, she added.”
“’Our relationship, like many, was not always perfect, we experienced ups and downs, and mistakes were made but he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future’, Huynh continued in the letter. ‘Over the years that followed, he made visible efforts to become a better person and to address the harm he had caused. By the time our relationship ended, he embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior’.”
Huynh wrote that Diddy ‘has substantial ties to his family and community, including children who depend on him for emotional and financial support’.
“Before Combs’ trial began, prosecutors alerted the court that they could no longer locate Huynh (then known only as ‘Victim-3’) and said they had lost touch with both her and her attorney.
She was referenced several times in the government’s indictment of Combs, but she never testified in his trial.”
