'Rich people get to do things': Alan Dershowitz argues Diddy should not be in jail

Raw Story  

Law professor Alan Dershowitz, a previous defender of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, argued that Sean "Diddy" Combs should be released from jail while awaiting trial because he is wealthy. "He has the resources to afford to have armed guards surround his apartment or house 24-7, and a person is presumed innocent." "Sure, that means that rich people get to do things that people who are less rich don't get to do, but you don't punish the wealthy because not everybody can afford it," he added. "But you don't take it away from somebody just because he has the resources to afford to have armed guards around his house that would absolutely prevent him from in any way committing crimes or escaping," he insisted.
