SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 20 – Two days after Sean Combs was detained in the MDC jail in Brooklyn, Inner City Press which live tweeted his two failed bail fights published a first book about the case, Diddy Do It? On Amazon here.

It begins: "On November 16, 2023 a lawsuit against Sean Combs went live in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Within days it was settled.   But the 35-page complaint remained in the PACER system. Its first page said, in red, "Trigger Warning: This document contains highly graphic information of a sexual nature, including sexual assault." Inner City Press covered it, and other cases filed in 2024: Lil Rod Jones, Adria English, Jane Doe, Crystal McKinney.   

  On September 17, 2024 Sean Combs was brought by US Marshals before SDNY Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky. He had been arrested the night before in a hotel on 57th Street and now he, through his lawyer Marc Agnifilo, was asking to be released on $50 million bond.   

  Just prior to the bail fight, US Attorney Damian Williams held a press conference in 26 Federal Plaza. Inner City Press went, and asked Williams if his office would be seeking pre-trial detention on Combs (yes) and how the case compared to the prosecution of R. Kelly, which Inner City Press had also cover. This question, Williams did not answer. But we will try to.
