Diddy Won’t Testify as Defense Prepares Swift Close to Sex Trafficking Trial

Prosecutors are set to rest this week with the defense preparing a two-to-five-day case ahead of jury deliberations early next week.

Overview

  • The prosecution plans to rest by Friday after six weeks of witness testimony and presentation of videos, phone records and text messages.
  • Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo told the court the team’s case could last as little as two days and confirmed Sean Combs will not take the stand.
  • Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed a juror this week over conflicting residency statements that raised doubts about the panel’s integrity.
  • The judge sharply rebuked both sides for leaking sealed details from a closed hearing and warned that any further violations of his gag order could lead to contempt charges.
  • Jurors have viewed extensive footage of ‘freak-off’ parties along with hotel and travel records central to the government’s racketeering and sex trafficking conspiracy allegations.
