Overview
- Closing arguments concluded Friday after prosecutors and defense made their final pitches in Manhattan federal court.
- Prosecutors depicted Combs as the leader of a criminal enterprise that forced women into drug-fuelled 'freak-off' sessions and engaged in related crimes such as kidnapping and bribery.
- Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo framed the allegations as an overreach that criminalized consensual private sexual conduct and urged jurors to acquit.
- Jurors are set to receive legal instructions on June 30 and then weigh charges that carry a potential life sentence if convicted.
- Combs remains jailed without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, with family members present in court during closing arguments.
