Breaking News: Diddy’s Defense Argues for Acquittal Over “false Trial” by Prosecutors
Jury Deliberations Begin Amid Contentious Closing Arguments
In a explosive final argument, defense attorney Marc Agnifilo urged a New York jury on Friday to acquit Sean “Diddy” Combs of all charges, arguing that prosecutors had built a “false trial” around his consensual sexual preferences. This comes after more than six weeks of testimonies that have laid bare the intricate details of Combs’ personal life and alleged criminal activities.
Defense’s Plea: Consensual Behavior Not Criminal
During the final phase of proceedings, Agnifilo contended that the prosecution had incorrectly used Combs’ consensual sexual relationships as evidence of a criminal conspiracy. “They take baby oil and astroglyde and make it the test of this case, because there is nothing wrong with their business,” Agnifilo declared, emphasizing that the real issue in the case is Combs’ private sexual life.
Skepticism Over Victims’ Accounts
Agnifilo sarcastically questioned the legitimacy of the allegations made by women who testified against Combs, suggesting that their willingness to participate in his sexual activities undermined claims of sexual trafficking. “If we are in the ‘Freak Off’ number 75, and 75 of them have been spoiled, what would have to happen in the Freak Off 76 to say, now is sexual trafficking?” Agnifilo said, referencing the nickname of an ex-girlfriend and a term used by Combs for his sexual performances.
Prosecution’s Counter-Argument
In her rebuttal, prosecutor Maureen Comey argued that Agnifilo was attempting to blame prosecutors and victims rather than accepting Combs’ criminal behavior. “He is launching an excuse after an excuse for inexcusable criminal behavior, trying to justify devastating evidence,” Comey stated.
Jury Deliberations Imminent
The panel of jurors has been presented with weeks of testimonies and evidence, including security camera footage and employee accounts of hotel room preparations and drug purchases for sexual performances. Key figures such as former girlfriends of Combs have testified about alleged sexual parties fueled by drugs, whereas Combs chose not to testify.
Understanding the Individual Behind the Trial
Sean “Diddy” Combs, the former rap mogul and founder of Bad Boy Records, has been a significant figure in American hip-hop culture. A founder of multiple entertainment ventures, his legal troubles come at a time when the industry is re-evaluating standards around consent and sexual conduct within the high-stakes music business.
