Judge Blocks Use of Diddy's Jail Notes in Legal Battle
TL;DR
A federal judge has temporarily barred prosecutors from using documents seized from Sean 'Diddy' Combs' jail cell, pending a decision on whether they are protected by attorney-client privilege. The papers were taken during a sweep at the Metropolitan Detention Center and are claimed by Combs' defense to be trial preparation materials. Combs, facing charges of coercion and abuse, has pleaded not guilty. The defense may seek to dismiss the indictment if the materials are deemed improperly obtained.
