Jury in Diddy sex trafficking trial starts deliberating
Sean “Diddy” Combs at the sex smuggling hearing of a jury, last week after hearing the duel narratives from prosecutors and defense lawyers, the negotiations, the music Mongol’s former girlfriends to take part in drug -fuel sexual performances after hearing the negotiations started.
The 12 -member jury came out of the courtroom to start negotiations after listening to the legal instructions of the US Regional Judge Arun Subramanian at the Manhattan Federal Court.
“Each one of you should make your own decision about the appropriate result of this case.” He said.
“No jury should not surrender their conscientious beliefs in order to make a decision unanimously.”
There is no time zone for negotiations and any decision must be unanimously.
The 55 -year -old Combs claimed that the conspiracy was not guilty of the tribute and that there were two points from sex smuggling and transportation to enter prostitution.
If an old billionaire known to raise the hip-hop in the US culture is condemned to five numbers, the combs can be sentenced to life imprisonment behind the bars.
More than six weeks of witnesses, two of Combs’ former girlfriends – rhythm and blues singer Casandra “Cassie” ventura and Jane, a woman known in court – jury members, sometimes with the “Freak Offs”, the paid male escort, from time to time, said that from time to time.
Both women stated that Combs beat them, and the jury members saw a hotel supervision video showing the combs attacked Ventura in a corridor in 2016.
Prosecutor Christy Slavik said in the closing argument on Thursday, “Cassie said that the intensity of the accused was behind his mind when he suggested a freak.” He said.
“The whole issue was to check Cassie, to be afraid to say no to the defendant. And it worked.”
The lawyers of the combs from time to time admitted that they were severe in internal relations, but Ventura and Jane were in accordance with their performances.
During the cross -examination, the defense emphasized the tender and sexual explicit text messages that send combs during the years of women’s relationships with him.
Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo, during the closing argument on Friday, “If the domestic violence was accused of violence, we would not all be here.” He said.
“He didn’t do what he was accused of him.”
The founder of Bad Boy Records, Combs, had a generous lifestyle in Miami and Los Angeles mansions and was filed to turn artists such as Notorious Big and Usher into stars.
Since his arrest of September 2024, he has been held in the Federal Locking in Brooklyn.
