The Real Reason For Downfall of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Prosecution Case Revealed
“The prosecution’s only real shot at a meaningful conviction was RICO, but to win that, they needed a predicate act like kidnapping or extortion,” said Rahmani. “Instead, they leaned too heavily on sex-related claims, and the jury saw too much evidence of consent.”
Combs was found guilty of arranging travel for singer Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura, 38, and another woman referred to as Jane, with the intent that they engage in paid sexual activity.
Both testified during the trial.
But their accounts failed to convince jurors the acts they described met the threshold for sex trafficking.
John W. Day, 51, a criminal defense attorney based in New Mexico, said the government overreached.
“They presented a tsunami of evidence over several weeks, but the jury didnāt buy the story,” he said. “Trying to apply mob laws to a flamboyant rap star’s lifestyle was always a stretch.”
It backs up one of our sources, who said near the end of the trial outcome: “There just was nowhere near enough indisputable evidence to show he was acting like soe kind of sex-crazed mafia boss.”
Day added the verdict reflected skepticism toward the narrative of victimhood presented by the prosecution.
