The judgment of Sean “Diddy” Combs is Near its endand the rapper took a moment to thank the judge Arun Subramanian for his hard work.
Diddy, 55, was planted in court on Tuesday, June 24 to deliver a message to Subramanian before the end of the day’s procedure was over. “I wanted to say -thanks,” said the miserable tycoon. “You’re doing an awesome job.”
Sean John’s founder confirmed that he had talked “thoroughly” with his lawyers about his decision not to testify in its own name. “This is my decision, my honor,” Diddy said. “This is just my decision.”
The Prosecutor’s Office rested his case against Diddy Tuesday. It faces accusations of conspiracy, sex traffic and transport to participate in prostitution. Diddy has stated not guilty of all charges and denied all allegations against him.
Diddy’s trial began on May 5 with the jury selection and lasted more than six weeks. During this period the government called 34 witnesses, including Diddy’s ex -partner Cassie, rap Kid cudi and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard.
After the prosecutor’s office rested his case, the defense requested a nonsense of Diddy, arguing that the Government did not prove enough.
“Domestic violence is not sexual trafficking and tests were not displayed (Cassie Ventura) was engaged in any sexual activity due to violence,” Diddy’s lawyer was Alexandra Shapiro argued.
Shapiro stated that the government did not demonstrate the burden of Racketeering, which was based on the idea that Diddy used his employees to help him commit crimes. According to Shapiro, those employees “did not know much, if not, what happened between Mr. Combs and their girlfriends in these hotel rooms, apart from using very oil for babies and astroglide … and maybe they used drugs.”
The defense also addressed the allegation that Diddy was responsible for the fire light bulb in Cudi’s car, saying -in court: “There is no evidence that Mr. Combs would be involved in that incident.”
Prior to a pause, the prosecution told the judge that he can argue with defense layoffs.
The closing arguments of the case will begin later this week and the jury’s deliberation could begin until Friday, June 27.
If he is convicted of a position, Diddy would face a long prison sentence. The minimum legal conviction for sex traffic is 15 years, while the transport to participate in prostitution is a maximum sentence of 10 years. If he is convicted of the accusation of the accusation, he faces his life in prison.
