A judge has ordered that evidence obtained by prosecutors from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ jail cell cannot be used as evidence in his upcoming trial.

Several pages of notes seized from the cell last month allegedly included orders for a family member to find “dirt” on his many alleged victims.

The 11 pages reportedly contained “eight pages of a calendar book.” His attorneys argued that the search was a violation of his privacy, but law enforcement says that they were obtained during “a planned sweep to address contraband and drugs.”

Prosecutors were ordered to “get rid of” their copies of the notes.

Diddy has been accused of witness tampering from behind bars. The notes would help the prosecutors to prove their claims.

Diddy is charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison; one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison and a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison; and one count of transportation for purposes of prostitution, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
