Diddy's Defense Seeks Mistrial; Judge Rules Against It

Diddy's Trial Day 11: Judge Denies Mistrial Motion Los Angeles, CA – Day 11 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial saw a dramatic turn as the defense moved for a mistrial. The motion, brought by Combs' attorney, centered around testimony concerning the destruction of a fingerprint card containing two fingerprints relevant to the case. The card was reportedly destroyed by an LAPD officer, not under the direct command of the defense. The prosecution argued that the questions surrounding the destroyed evidence were irrelevant to the case. "The questions about the destroyed fingerprint evidence fed right into the conspiracy that Diddy can buy his way out of anything," stated a legal analyst following the trial. The judge ultimately denied the motion for a mistrial. Combs' attorney argued that the jurors already entered the trial with preconceived notions about the case and that the destroyed evidence reinforced those biases. However, the judge maintained that the questions and answers regarding the fingerprints were not evidence and should be disregarded by the jury. The trial continues.
