Diddy's prosecutors have a few days to file their opposition.

Over this past weekend, Diddy and his representation filed a new motion for yet another bail package. So far, every time they have attempted to free the music mogul has failed miserably. He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) and faces a grave life behind bars if found guilty. Still, his legal team remains optimistic, especially as it pertains to this latest and greatest bail offer. It's similar to past ones with it containing a $50 million bond and constant surveillance to avoid any sort of issues or violations.

However, where this one differs is that Diddy's defense pointed to some older cases of similar severity. One was a sex trafficking case involving a CEO and who had someone intimidating witnesses with the alleged victims being younger men. In addition, a bail package was sent forward and that included a $10 million bond for the CEO and $500K for his alleged accomplice. Obviously, the sum of money is much lower in that example, but Diddy's team is arguing the gist of it is close enough.

With that background information in mind, we now have an important update. According to Meghann Cuniff, she has discovered that a hearing for the bailing is scheduled and coming soon. To be exact, it will be on Friday, November 22 at 2 p.m in Manhattan. With that said, prosecutors have until this Friday, November 15 to send in their documents that argue against it.

Overall, it's another important moment for Diddy and one that could swing this case in decent fashion. Obviously, the odds are stacked against him. Previously, the court felt he was too much of a flight risk essentially to just be let go on bond. There's a great chance those words are said again, but only time will tell.
