- The prosecution and Cassie Ventura, a former partner and key witness who testified about abuse and coercion, argued Combs poses a danger to victims and the community if released.
- Combs' lawyers proposed a $1 million bond with travel restrictions and surrender of his passport, claiming the acquittal on major charges merits his release.
- Judge Arun Subramanian rejected bail, citing mandatory detention for convicted crimes of violence, and Combs now faces up to 20 years in prison pending sentencing.
