Civil Cases Against Sean Combs Will Proceed Despite Split Verdict: Attorney Lisa Bloom

Reaction to Split Verdict

• 😞 Lisa Bloom expressed disappointment with the split verdict in the criminal case against Sean "Diddy" Combs, comparing it to the OJ Simpson trial.
• ⚖️ Despite the acquittal on top charges, Bloom noted that Combs is now a convicted felon on two federal charges and hopes for a significant prison sentence.

Civil Litigation Moving Forward

• 📌 Bloom confirmed that civil cases against Sean Combs will continue to move forward, with 78 filed as of May 1st.
• ⚖️ She represents two accusers, Don Rashard and a male John Doe, whose claims are similar to the criminal charges Combs was convicted of, such as prostitution across state lines.
• 💡 Civil cases have a lower burden of proof (preponderance of the evidence) compared to criminal cases (beyond a reasonable doubt).
• 🚀 Bloom stated they will continue legal wrangling and fighting motions to dismiss, and if Combs is incarcerated, she looks forward to taking his deposition behind bars.

Bail Hearing Concerns

• ⚠️ Bloom is submitting a letter to the judge on behalf of Don Rashard expressing concern for her safety and the safety of others.
• 🗣️ The letter argues that Combs continues to pose a significant danger due to his history of violence and death threats, and that the circumstances for denying prior bail applications remain unchanged.
• 🚫 They are asking the judge to hold Mr. Combs until sentencing, denying bail.
