“Judge Subramanian: We have received a note ta 9:52 am, it reads, “We have reached a verdict on all counts.” Anything to address before we bring our jury out?
Prosecution: No.
Defense: No.
Judge: Maintain order while the verdict is being read and until we have the jury out.”
“Judge: We have received your note. Juror Number Five, have you reached a verdict?
Juror 5: We have.
Judge: Is it unanimous?
Juror 5: It is.
Judge: Please provide the verdict for to the deputy.”
New York Post reported:
“Hip-hop icon Sean Combs was stunningly acquitted on federal charges of forcing his former lovers to live out his degrading sexual fantasies — but found guilty of lesser prostitution raps.
The embattled entrepreneur, 55, had faced life in prison after being charged with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. But a jury convicted him only of prostitution charges stemming from shipping the escorts across state lines.
[…] The verdict is the latest twist in the downfall of a Harlem native who grew his Bad Boy Records label into an empire worth nearly $1 billion, became one of the music world’s most recognizable figures, and hosted celebrity-packed ‘White Parties’ in glitzy locales like The Hamptons and Beverly Hills.”
Now the defense wants Diddy freed pending sentencing.
Inner Citty Press reported:
“Judge: I’ll hear any application, then about a sentencing date.
Combs’ Agnifilo: He should be released He is no longer charged with sex trafficking or racketeering. His plane has been chartered – it is in Maui. He does not have access to his plane. This is his first conviction, and it is a prostitution offense. He should be released. His family is here and could sign a bond. He should be released today, to go back and live at Two Star Island.
Judge: This is just coming up right now. I will hear from the Government in a moment. Are you proposing he just walk outside now?
Agnifilo: Yes.
Judge: You a proposing a million dollar bond?
Combs’ Agnifilo: Yes. And travel to Florida, NY and LA.
AUSA Comey: The US opposes his release. A person found guilty shall be detained until the judicial officer finds he is not likely to flee or be a danger. The defendant faces a maximum sentence of twenty years. Even while faced with this case, he assaulted Jane… Here in NY, preparing to surrender, he had drugs in his hotel room, was ready to commit this same offense.
Judge: I am not going to resolve this this second, I need to review the statutes. Ms. Comey, do you have a case in which bail was denied after a conviction under the Mann Act? You may confer and come back – we’d planned to be here the whole day.
AUSA Comey: I am aware of cases involving minors – but we intend to raise relevant conduct at sentencing, the drugs and violence.
Judge: I’ll like letters from each side. When?
AUSA Comey: A few hours.
Judge: I think that makes sense. Mr. Combs does not want to go back to the MDC; he is shaking his head. So, 1 pm letters, and we’ll convene in the afternoon, I’ll let the parties know when.
Agnifilo: He would be a fool, which he is not, to violate any condition.”
This is a developing story. Stay tuned for more.
