Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges in a two-month trial that saw his lawyers argue the case centered around “voluntary adult choices” rather than a criminal enterprise. Teny Geragos, Marc Agnifilo, and their team, dubbed the “dream team,” successfully defended Combs against federal prosecutors.
The defense posited that Combs was not charged with being mean or violent but instead faced accusations of running a racketeering enterprise. The prosecution claimed Combs’ wealth and history of abuse made him a danger to society, while the defense argued he had lived up to his obligations and made remarkable contributions.
After the verdict, the “dream team” earned praise from experts and the OJ Simpson’s former lawyer, Robert Shapiro. Professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz commended the defense for their strategy, stating that the decision not to put Combs on the witness stand was a smart move.
The acquittal marks an unusual outcome in federal court, with Dershowitz calling it a “good day for justice.” The verdict follows a complex trial where Combs faced multiple charges and his team worked tirelessly to prove his innocence.
