Diddy On Trial Recap: Defense closes; deliberations set for Monday

The government rebuttal concluded with prosecutor Maurene Comey imploring jurors to find Sean Combs guilty and lauding his alleged victims for coming forward with “overwhelming evidence.” “The defendant never thought the women he abused would have the courage to speak out loud what he had done with him,” Comey argued. “For 20 years, the defendant got away with his crimes. That ends in this courtroom.” Comey told the jury the violence between Combs and "Jane" at her home in June 2024 represented the most “clear cut” example of sex trafficking in the entire case. The defense suggested "Jane" instigated it to use it later against Combs, knowing he was under criminal investigation. Comey said there was no evidence of that. Court is adjourned, the jury was sent home with instructions not to discuss the case. The jury returns 9 a.m. ET Monday for the judge’s charge and deliberations. Learn more about your ad choices.
