Documentary on Diddy trial to stream online today; key reasons why jury didn't find him guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking
Sean 'Diddy' Combs may have dodged the most serious charges in his federal racketeering and sex trafficking case, but Judge Arun Subramanian isn't letting him out just yet. The Music mogul's bail plea was denied by the presiding judge as the legal battle continues. Meanwhile, ABC News aired a one-hour special, Verdict: The Diddy Trial, less than 12 hours after the verdict. The episode aired in the US on July 2 and is set to stream globally the next day. The special features defense attorney and ABC's legal analyst Brian Buckmire, criminal trial lawyer Sarah Azari, and investigative correspondents breaking down what went down in court. Though Combs beat the charges that could've landed him behind bars for life, he's still staring at a likely two-decade prison term. Where to watch Verdict: the Diddy Trial The TV special aired Wednesday (July 2) at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. Outside the US, it'll stream on Disney+ and Hulu on July 3. The special explores the key moments that flipped the case in Diddy's favour, with commentary, scene reenactments, and a breakdown of what legal doors remain open, both for the defense and the prosecutors looking to make their next move. Also read: Sean 'Diddy' Combs found guilty in sex trial, but cleared of trafficking and racketeering charges Diddy was convicted of two federal crimes, including transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution (violating the Mann Act.) Meanwhile, he was acquitted of three other, more serious charges, including: Sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura and another woman (identified only as 'Jane'). Racketeering, where prosecutors claimed Diddy ran an illegal criminal enterprise involving bribery, drugs, kidnapping, and sexual abuse. According to ABC, each of the two charges Diddy was convicted on carries a max sentence of 10 years, which means he's now staring at a possible 20 years behind bars. The decision came after two days of jury deliberation, with a final note sent at 9:52 a.m. on Wednesday confirming a unanimous verdict on all five counts. Also read: Sean 'Diddy' Combs acquitted of sex trafficking charges, convicted on prostitution counts Why the jury didn't convict Diddy on the most serious charges Former federal prosecutor Mark Chutkow, in a conversation with Forbes, pointed to one key reason the jury may have ruled not guilty on the biggest charges: lack of proof of coercion. Chutkow explained that to convict someone of sex trafficking, you have to show the victims were forced, tricked, or coerced. Despite Cassie Ventura and 'Jane Doe' testifying, both women continued seeing Diddy even after the alleged incidents, some even expressed care for him. That alone could've given the jury reasonable doubt. As for the racketeering charge, the jury might not have seen enough to believe there was a full criminal network. Diddy was accused of running an entire enterprise, but he was the only one sitting in court. If others were supposedly involved, who were they, and why weren't they on trial too? Why was Diddy's bail denied? Judge Arun Subramanian refused to grant bail. One major reason being a surveillance video presented in court that reportedly showed Combs physically assaulting Cassie Ventura. The judge called it part of a disturbing pattern of behaviour. Prosecutors added that Diddy continued breaking laws in 2024, even after learning he was under federal investigation and after his homes were raided. So for now, Diddy stays locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His team's pushing for house arrest at his Miami home until sentencing. But prosecutors are still arguing. What happens next? The sentencing process Sentencing is currently set for October 3, but Judge Subramanian has said he's open to moving it up if the defense requests. Before that, Diddy will have to go through a presentencing investigation led by the US Probation Office. They'll look into his criminal history (or lack of it), the severity of the charges, and anything else that might factor into what kind of sentence he gets.

Michael Irvin drops bombshell on Jimmy Johnson's real personality in new Cowboys Netflix series
Jimmy Johnson's true colors revealed by Michael Irvin in Cowboys Netflix teaser (Credit: YouTube/Netflix) The Dallas Cowboys are stepping into the streaming spotlight with a gripping new Netflix docuseries that dives deep into one of the NFL's most chaotic and legendary eras. Titled America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, this eight-episode series is set to premiere on August 19, bringing to life the raw, intense, and often controversial journey of Jerry Jones and his creation of a football dynasty in the 1990s. America's Team or Jerry's Gamble? Netflix unpacks Cowboys' glory and chaos of the 90s dynasty Directed by the Emmy-winning duo Maclain and Chapman Way—known for their work on Untold and Wild Wild Country—the series promises far more than just game highlights. Produced by Skydance Sports in collaboration with NFL Films and Stardust Frames Productions, it peels back the curtain on what transformed the Cowboys from a struggling franchise to the most valuable sports team on the planet. Netflix's official synopsis sets the tone perfectly: 'A man who bet it all. A series of calculated risks. A team meticulously designed for greatness.' And that man, of course, is Jerry Jones. After buying the Cowboys in 1989, Jones, alongside head coach Jimmy Johnson, took the team from a dismal 1-15 start to back-to-back Super Bowl titles within five years. It was a transformation fueled by bold business decisions, fearless leadership, and a relentless pursuit of greatness. The series stands apart thanks to its powerful storytelling and the A-list lineup of interviews. Among those sharing their experiences are Jones himself, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, Barry Switzer, Jimmy Johnson, and Michael Irvin . Even high-profile personalities like George W. Bush, Phil Knight, and Rupert Murdoch contribute to the narrative, highlighting how the Cowboys' rise intersected with American culture, media, and business. Michael Irvin doesn't hold back in the trailer, offering a chilling truth about life under Johnson's rule: 'The road to a championship is never paved smoothly. It's always paved with peaks and valleys… He made practice hell. So the game is heaven.' It's more than a soundbite—it's a window into the grueling process that forged champions out of chaos. One of the trailer's most unforgettable moments features Johnson barking at a player: 'Asthma my a–. Get over there on that other field and have asthma.' These aren't dramatizations—they're real, raw flashbacks to a time when the Cowboys weren't just a football team, but a phenomenon. Johnson's approach, as brutal as it was, built more than athletes. As Irvin emotionally shared in a previous podcast, Johnson shaped men 'from a lot of broken areas,' turning pain into purpose and dysfunction into dominance. Under Johnson's final four seasons, Dallas posted a staggering 50-22 record—cementing their dynasty status. In an age where team-specific documentaries are gaining popularity, this one promises to stand out. With its intimate access, unfiltered interviews, and emotional depth, America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is set to deliver more than nostalgia—it's a front-row seat to football's most dramatic rise. As Jerry Jones says with a sly grin in the trailer, 'There's a soap opera 365 days a year… We do it our way, baby.' And come August 19, Netflix viewers will get to witness exactly how that legacy was built. Also Read: Is the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift relationship just a PR stunt for headlines?
