一名纽约联邦法官拒绝了肖恩·“吹牛老爹”·库姆斯的保释请求，认为“通过明确和令人信服的证据”,这位嘻哈大亨具有潜在的危险，并且“没有任何条件或条件的组合能够合理地确保社区的安全。”
法官Arun Subramanian裁定“有令人信服的证据表明库姆斯有暴力倾向”，包括CNN从2016年与门徒凯茜·温图拉的洲际酒店事件中获得的视频。
虽然辩方辩称这些片段是经过编辑和操纵的，但法官说，“即使在库姆斯提交的片段版本中，也明显存在暴力。”
联邦检察官和库姆斯的律师都在周一提交了关于这位音乐大亨是否应该被保释的最后信件。这是他第四次被拒绝保释。
检察官认为，库姆斯在狱中试图影响证人的行为“构成了对其刑事案件的阻碍”。他们还通过库姆斯的孩子组织的社交媒体活动，呼吁库姆斯“最近努力影响陪审团”。
库姆斯的律师表示，他们的客户的行为受到言论自由的保护，旨在打击“政府代理人、原告律师和其他动机可疑的人对库姆斯先生的蛮横指控”。"
法官还引用了库姆斯和文图拉在相遇后几小时和几天内的短信。
“我有一只黑眼睛和一张厚嘴唇。一条留言说:“你觉得自己做的事情没问题，这很恶心。”。“我仍然有疯狂的瘀伤，”另一个说。
库姆斯提议将其软禁在上东区的一套三居室公寓中，实行全天候私人安保，限制访客和通信。尽管如此，法官表示，“鉴于本案指控的性质以及政府提供的信息，法院怀疑任何信任库姆斯及其雇佣的个人——比如私人安保人员——遵守这些条件的充分性。”
上周五，辩方称提议的条件比库姆斯在监狱中面临的条件“更具限制性”。
这些措施包括限制给律师打电话，限制除律师和特定家庭成员之外的访客，保留探访记录，避免与证人或潜在证人接触。
然而，联邦检察官表示，没有任何条件可以降低库姆斯篡改证人或影响潜在陪审员意见的风险。
在上周五的法庭上，检察官草率地表示，库姆斯“不能被信任”会遵守审前释放的规则。
法官支持原告的论点。
在他的决定中，Subramanian引用了“支持证人篡改的严重风险的证据”，包括库姆斯与证人的电话和短信，以及他对监狱规则的藐视，如使用MDC-Brooklyn其他囚犯的电话访问代码。
Subramanian说:“(库姆斯)愿意绕过国际收支规则，使他的通信更难被监控，这是一个强有力的证据，表明法院无法合理地保证任何释放条件的充分性。”。
Subramanian是继一名联邦法官、之前负责此案的地区法院法官和一名上诉法院法官之后，第四位拒绝库姆斯保释的法官。
Sean 'Diddy' Combs denied bail as judge declares hip-hop mogul poses serious danger
A New York federal judge denied Sean "Diddy" Combs' request to be released on bail, finding "by clear and convincing evidence" that the hip-hop mogul is potentially dangerous and "that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community."
Judge Arun Subramanian decided "there is compelling evidence of Combs's propensity for violence," including video obtained by CNN from the 2016 Intercontinental Hotel incident with protégé Cassie Ventura.
While the defense argued the footage was edited and manipulated the judge said, "There is clearly violence even in the version of the footage submitted by Combs."
Both federal prosecutors and Combs' attorneys submitted their final letters about whether the music mogul should be allowed out on bail on Monday. This is the fourth time he was denied bail.
Prosecutors argued that Combs' attempt to influence witnesses while in jail "constitutes obstruction" of his criminal case. They also called out Combs' "recent efforts to influence the jury pool" through a social media campaign organized by his children.
Combs' attorneys said their client's conduct was protected free speech, meant to combat "outrageous claims about Mr. Combs" by "government agents, plaintiffs' attorneys, and others with questionable motives."
The judge also cited text messages between Combs and Ventura from the hours and days following the encounter.
"I have a black eye and a fat lip. You are sick for thinking it's OK to do what you've done," one message said. "I still have crazy bruising," said another.
Combs proposed home confinement in a three-bedroom Upper East Side apartment with 24/7 private security, limits on visitors and restrictions on his communications. Still, the judge said, "Given the nature of the allegations in this case and the information provided by the government, the Court doubts the sufficiency of any conditions that place trust in Combs and individuals in his employ—like a private security detail—to follow those conditions."
Last Friday, the defense called the proposed conditions "far more restrictive" than Combs faces in jail.
They included limiting phone calls to lawyers, restricting visitors other than lawyers and specific family members, keeping a visitation log, and avoiding contact with witnesses or potential witnesses.
However, federal prosecutors have said there are no conditions that can reduce Combs' risk of tampering with witnesses or shaping the opinions of potential jurors.
In court last Friday, prosecutors summarily said that Combs "cannot be trusted" to follow the rules of a pretrial release.
The judge sided with the prosecution's argument.
In his decision, Subramanian cited "evidence supporting a serious risk of witness tampering," including Combs' calls and texts with witnesses, and his flouting of jailhouse rules, like using the phone access codes of other inmates at MDC-Brooklyn.
"[Combs'] willingness to skirt BOP rules in a way that would make it more difficult for his communications to be monitored is strong evidence that the Court cannot be reasonably assure[d] as to the sufficiency of any conditions of release," Subramanian said.
Subramanian is the fourth judge to deny Combs bail after a federal magistrate, the prior district court judge assigned to the case and an appeals court judge.
