A judge says he’ll rule next week on Sean “Diddy" Combs’ third request to be released from jail on bail while he awaits his sex trafficking trial.

With family and friends nearby, Combs was sitting there Friday unshackled in the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse. The notoriously self-promoting rapper was denied bail twice before in quick succession by other judges just after his arrest on sex trafficking and other charges two months ago.

As you can imagine, despite the defense’s arguments, two previous judges have ruled that Combs would pose a danger to the community if released, and an appeals court judge denied his request for immediate release last month. A three-judge panel from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is still weighing his bail request.
