On Thursday, it was the end of Sean’s Diddy Combs Trade Sex and Raise trial, as prosecutors began their final arguments, paying attention to how the Combssees used violence and influence in the series of “brutal crimes”.
“The defendant used the authorities, violence and fear to get what he wanted,” said the Associated Press, an assistant to US lawyer, said. “He thought his fame, wealth and government raised him above the law.”
She added that there is evidence of his alleged criminal conspiracy, which has traced for more than 20 years, noting his ex -girlfriend Cassandra Cassie Ventura and his former assistant Capricorn Clark, as described in the previous weeks of the trial. Another example was the alleged bombing of musician Kid Cudi, among other crimes, all who they said were able to organize through his platform and loyal staff.
During her remarks, the jurors were depicted by the images of individuals who allegedly conspiracy, images of evidence – including the alleged distribution of cocaine, ketamine and MDMA drug – and excerpts from testimonies, according to AP.
“In the last few weeks, you have learned a lot about Sean Combs,” Slavik said at the beginning of his statements. “He’s the head of a criminal company. He’s not taking the answer. And now you know about the many crimes he committed with members of his company.”
Slavik also raised the alleged “Combs” inappropriate behavior with Ventura, with which he was in contact with 11 years, and is a woman seen in intercontinental hotel footage from 2016. up. With the help of a team of their staff, including bodyguards and assistants, the Combsseed managed to facilitate and continue his offensive actions, the prosecutor said.
“The defendant was a powerful person, but because of his inner circle, his business – companies – he became more powerful and dangerous,” Slavik said, adding that the Combsse and his satellite “performed hundreds of rectangs.”
Although the Combs legal team closed the racketeering fee, claiming that its employees refused to participate in any storyline, Slavik noted that their involvement in the alleged kidnapping and drug delivery supports the prosecution’s arguments.
The jurors intend to listen to the final arguments of the Combs on Friday and the prosecutor’s office before the consideration, which could take place already that afternoon.
The Combs trial took more than six weeks, and 34 witnesses testified for jurors. The Combs team says the music magnate has been involved in domestic violence, but denies that it has broken all federal laws.
On Wednesday, prosecutors tightened their racketeful accusations of a conspiracy to Mog, removing statements about arson and kidnapping one day before the arguments were closed, the Independent reports. In a letter to the judge, the prosecutor’s office stated that he would annul the three claims related to the racketeering conspiracy to “simplify” the jurors’ instructions. Although the racketeering of the conspiracy is still part of the listed accused crimes, the prosecution has abolished the directions of the jurors related to attempting to kidnap, the arson and the facilitation of trading sex.
Combs suffered with five federal estimates on racketeering, sex and transportation to get involved in prostitution he did not admit.
