Diddy Found Guilty on 2 Counts the Rest Dropped

Am I surprise of the verdict...No.

After two full days of deliberation, the jury has reached a decision in the high-profile case against Sean “Diddy” Combs. The music mogul was found guilty on two counts—both related to transportation for the purpose of prostitution—while three of the more serious charges were dismissed.

The six-and-a-half-week trial captivated the public, often focusing more on Diddy's sexual appetite and personal lifestyle than the legal charges themselves.

In an emotional moment, several of Diddy’s children were present in the courtroom as the verdict was read. According to reports, they remained composed as the jury foreperson delivered the decision.

Following the verdict, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, made an impassioned plea for the judge to grant his client $1 million bail, emphasizing that Diddy has been incarcerated for the past nine months and had not been able to see or be with his family during that time. Agnifilo urged the court to allow Diddy a chance to spend time with his children and loved ones before sentencing.

However, Judge Arun Subramanian denied the request, stating that Diddy remains both a flight risk and a danger to society.

Though sentencing was originally set for October, the judge has moved the date up to July 8, where Diddy now faces up to 20 years in prison.
