Diddy may ask a judge to drop his sex trafficking case because the Bureau of Prisons took pictures of his to-do list

Sean "Diddy" Combs.AP Photo/Matt SaylesIn court on Tuesday, defense lawyers said a raid on Sean 'Diddy' Combs' jail cell was improper.Photos of Combs' handwritten to-do list should never have been given to prosecutors, a lawyer said.The lawyer said he may now seek dismissal of the case or recusal of the entire prosecution team.Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs warned they may seek to have his sex-trafficking case dismissed because prosecutors caught a glimpse of a handwritten "to-do list" the rap mogul kept in his Brooklyn jail cell.The to-do list— jotted by Combs on a white legal pad, to memorialize jailhouse conversations with his attorneys — was secretly photographed and then returned to his cell by Bureau of Prisons officials during a late October raid, a lawyer for Combs alleged during a hearing in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday.News that prosecutors had gained possession of the writings was first revealed this week.The writing on 19 pages from the list, "are in the heartland of attorney-client material," attorney Marc Agnifilo told US District Court Judge Arun Subramanian, his voice angry, as Combs sat to his left, nodding "yes."Before them on the defense table was a four-inch stack of folders and paperwork from Combs' cell, including the actual to-do list, Agnifilo told the judge.

    An old public service announcement that once aired before late-night newscasts posed a simple question to parents: "It's 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?"
