Prosecutors wrote that a review of recorded jail calls made by Combs shows he has asked family members to reach out to potential victims and witnesses and has urged them to create “narratives” to influence the jury pool. They say he also has encouraged marketing strategies to sway public opinion. Prosecutors wrote that it could be inferred from his behavior that Combs wanted to blackmail victims and witnesses into silence or into providing testimony helpful to his defense.to charges that he coerced and abused women for years with the aid of a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson, and physical beatings.
In their submission to a judge, prosecutors said Combs' behavior in jail shows he must remain locked up.
