Diddy's legal team, lead by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, have sent a new bail package proposal to Judge Aryn Subramanian.

They have listed a number of points explaining why Diddy should be released from jail prior to his sentencing.

The music executive's lawyers argue that most people convicted on Mann Act charges, of which Diddy was found guilty of two counts, are released from custody prior to sentencing.

In official documentation shared with the press, they claim that 'continued confinement is unwarranted'.

They claim that as he was convicted of hiring professional male escorts who weren't minors, it was part of Diddy and ex-girlfriends Cassie and Jane living a swinger lifestyle.

Diddy's team further claim that a lot has changed in the 115 years since the Mann act was passed, in society and the way that we view sexual relationships.

Following the conclusion of the music producer's trial on 2 July this year, it was judged by a New York jury that Sean 'Diddy' Combs was guilty of two out of five charges.

It was reported that the 55-year-old dropped to his knees and burrowed his hear into his seat as he heard the verdict.

The two-month-long trial included testimonies from a number of celebrities.

Diddy was cleared on charges of racketeering and two counts of sex trafficking by the 12 men and women who made up the jury.

The two charges he faces are the two counts of transportation for prostitution.

Diddy is now awaiting sentencing on 3 October this year, though he was denied bail just hours after the jury returned their verdict.

The judge claimed that the music producer was a danger to the community due to his violent past, which his defence did not deny or shy away from in court.

Following the judge's decision, Combs' defence team argued that Diddy displayed 'model behaviour' behind bars, adding that he was 'committed to respecting the legal process.

In a letter, they wrote: "Mr Combs has obeyed the court, respected these proceedings, and demonstrated model behaviour,

"And today, the jury unambiguously rejected the government's allegations that Mr Combs ran a years-long criminal enterprise in sex trafficking - the core of the government's case."
