Sean Combs: The prosecution's closing argument.

from Dateline NBC · host Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas

"He won't take no for an answer," said prosecutor Christy Slavik. She said it over and over during a summation that lasted more than four hours. She argued that the "common purpose" of Combs and his "inner circle" -- his chief of staff, his bodyguards, and some of his assistants -- was to protect him from bad press and law enforcement. And she recounted the dramatic stories told in the courtroom in the past six weeks: Goodfellas-type scenes of alleged bribery, arson, and kidnapping.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
