Diddy's Sex Crimes Trial Opens: Prosecutor's Dramatic Statement and Defense Strategy Revealed

Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex crimes trial began Monday in New York City. The prosecution's opening statement included a dramatic identification of Combs by a prosecutor. The defense lawyer, in contrast, attempted to present a more sympathetic view of Combs, acknowledging past mistakes.
