This week the prosecution rested in Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs', human trafficking and RICO trial [click here if you missed that].
Before the jury begins deliberation, the prosecution has dropped a number of claim's from Diddy's case...
From TMZ
In a stunning move, the day before closing arguments in Diddy's federal criminal trial in NYC, prosecutors have pulled back on some key testimony during the trial -- specifically kidnapping, attempted arson, and aiding and abetting six trafficking.
Prosecutors said in a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, the Government is following His Honor's instructions to "streamline" the jury instructions.
The reality -- prosecutors seem to feel they've fallen flat on proving Diddy allegedly kidnapped former employee Capricorn Clark (who was taken to a building and given a lie detector test to determine if she stole Diddy's jewelry), and Cassie (when she was allegedly held at the London Hotel).
More surprising ... prosecutors are not pursuing the attempted arson claim that Diddy blew up Kid Cudi's car in a jealous rage. During the trial, prosecutors never directly linked Diddy to the fire.
Both of these charges relate to the racketeering charge Diddy faces.
As for the aiding and abetting six trafficking charge, prosecutors don't explain what elements of six trafficking they will 86 from the jury instructions.
Prosecutors are NOT dropping the various six trafficking charges ... only elements of them, and specifically aiding and abetting.
Prosecutors do say in their letter they want an instruction that just because women (Cassie and Jane) gave prior consent to sixual acts, it does not mean that it can never be withdrawn.
Prosecutors also say jurors should be told just because a woman (Jane) received compensation, "does not preclude a finding of forced labor (which relates to six trafficking).
And as for six trafficking, prosecutors want jurors to know neither physical restraint of the alleged victims nor commercial six acts are required to prove coercion in six trafficking.

This case was over hyped. This is literally grown people getting freaky in luxury hotels while doing party druggs. Prosecution getting nervous. They were hoping shock value and violence would win this case.
@ 11:37 exactly!
The hotel video shows Cassie was attempting to leave, but was forced through violence to stay against her will. That is kidnapping right there.
They are relaxed and just making it easier on the poor jury.
What happened to the under age girl that was from chi-town that sitting was sitting on his lap in the recording studio? He allegedly payed for her plane ticket and had $e+ with her for trinkets.
If the scope would've gone beyond the Cassie stuff then maybe the case would've been a success. But then that would expose the handlers and puppet masters who've been in place for decades.
If you don't have a legal background YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. Sit down and shut up...he's finally going to pay for all the blood he has on his hands...city college, Biggie, Craig Mack, etc.
Beater cheater will win the case cause he got people supporters behind the scene who want to be in the front line and get him out
It doesn't matter if the jury finds him guilty or not. Trump will not let Diddy rot in jail. That's too much power and influence that will go to waste.

Whatever this trial was used for to keep
The masses distracted
Is now over
So he will probably go free now
But his life will not be same as before
How can he pay for crimes he isn't being charged with? I may not have a legal background but I do know you have to be charged with a crime before you stand trial.
He wised up kissed the ring he saw what Daystar was going threw, fair is place with cotton candy and roller coasters this is the real world.
🖕
The only thing the prosecution proved was that EVERYBODY were consenting adults participating in these so called freak offs that were actually just between 3 consenting people. They also proved that he assaulted Cassie, as evidenced on the widely circulated video. Problem is this wasn’t a domestic violence trial. The prosecution over charges and over hyped this case and now hoping they can get at least a charge to stick. I don’t see Diddy getting acquitted 100%, but he’s not getting the book thrown at him either. He may get probation, anger management requirements and fines. Maybe 6mo-1 year in jail with time served.
It was all done to destroy his image. Knock Jim down a few pegs. Someone was definitely behind this take down.
The most damaging case is Cassies and even that leaves room for beyond a reasonable doubt considering some of her text messages and actions. The beating video damaged his reputation and showed his capability for violence but he is not charged with domestic violence for that instance. The drugs and trafficking are strong but is it trafficking if the participants flew out willingly? If so, he is screwed.
