Diddy Trial: Prosecution Concludes Case, Defense Seeks Acquittal
Federal prosecutors have concluded their case against Sean "Diddy" Combs in his sex trafficking and racketeering trial, having presented testimony from 34 witnesses over more than six weeks. The prosecution argued that Combs operated a criminal enterprise to lure and traffic victims. Following the prosecution's resting, the defense immediately moved for a judgment of acquittal on all counts, asserting that the government failed to meet its burden of proof. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies any wrongdoing. The trial has included the presentation of alleged explicit videos and hundreds of exhibits, including items like nitrous oxide bottles and gun parts. The court awaits the judge's ruling on the acquittal request, with the defense expected to present its case, primarily through evidence rather than witnesses, if the trial proceeds.
