Overview

• A Manhattan jury acquitted Combs of sex trafficking and extortion but convicted him on two counts related to prostitution.
• The 12-member jury deliberated for more than 13 hours following an eight-week trial featuring testimony from 34 witnesses.
• Judge Arun Subramanian rejected an earlier bid to advance the sentencing date and ordered Combs held in custody until the hearing.
• Combs faces up to 20 years in prison but observers expect a significantly shorter term, with defense seeking about 21 months and prosecutors proposing at least 51 months.
• Throughout the trial, prosecutors detailed allegations of coercion and abuse while the defense called no witnesses and acknowledged his personal struggles.
