'Not a god': arguments end in Combs trial ahead of deliberations
NEW YORK - Sean "Diddy" Combs's lawyer aimed Friday to skewer the credibility of the music mogul's accusers, saying in closing arguments they were out for money while rejecting any notion he led a criminal ring. But in their rebuttal, the trial's final stage before jurors are tasked with deciding the verdict, prosecutors tore into the defence, saying Combs's team had "contorted the facts endlessly." Prosecutor Maurene Comey told jurors that by the time Combs, once among the most powerful people in music had committed his clearest-cut offences, "he was so far past the line he couldn't even see it." "In his mind, he was untouchable," she told the court. "The defendant never thought that the women he abused would have the courage to speak out loud what he had done to them." "That ends in this courtroom," she said. "The defendant is not a god." For most of Friday's hearing defence attorney Marc Agnifilo picked apart, and even made light of, the testimony of women who were in long-term relationships with Combs, and who said he had coerced them into drug-fueled sex parties with paid escorts. Agnifilo scoffed at the picture painted by prosecutors of a violent, domineering man who used his employees, wealth and power to foster "a climate of fear" that allowed him to act with impunity. Combs, 55, is a "self-made, successful Black entrepreneur" who had romantic relationships that were "complicated" but consensual, Agnifilo said. In his freewheeling, nearly four-hour-long argument, Agnifilo aimed to confuse the methodic narrative US attorney Christy Slavik provided one day prior. She had spent nearly five hours meticulously walking the jury through the charges and their legal basis, summarising thousands of phone, financial, travel and audiovisual records along with nearly seven weeks of testimony from 34 witnesses. Central to their case is the claim that Combs led a criminal enterprise of senior employees, including his chief-of-staff and security guards, who "existed to serve his needs." But Agnifilo underscored that none of those individuals testified against Combs, nor were they named as co-conspirators. "This is supposed to be simple," the defence counsel told jurors. "If you find that you're in the weeds of this great complexity, maybe it's because it just isn't there." If convicted, Combs faces upwards of life in prison. 'BRAZEN' Casandra Ventura and a woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane described abuse, threats and coercive sex in excruciating detail. Combs's defence has conceded that domestic violence was a feature of the artist's relationships, but that his outbursts did not amount to sex trafficking. The defence insisted the women were consenting adults. Prosecutor Comey snapped back that they were being "manipulated" into "brazen" acts of sex trafficking, reiterating once again for jurors what the government says are the clearest-cut examples. Agnifilo pointed to Ventura's civil lawsuit against Combs in which she was granted $20 million: "If you had to pick a winner in this whole thing, it would be Cassie," he said. Comey called that notion insulting: "What was her prize? Black eyes? A gash in her head? Sex for days with a UTI?" The prosecutor also pointed to a violent episode between Combs and Jane, when she says she struck him in an argument before he brutally beat her, knocked her down in the shower, and then forced her into giving an escort oral sex. "Jane may have started that fight, but he finished it with a vengeance," Comey said, calling that incident the most obvious sex trafficking case and saying he had "literally beaten her into submission." Throughout the trial, jurors were shown voluminous phone records, including messages of affection and desire from both women, and Agnifilo emphasised the love and romance once again. Both prosecutors said taking those words literally, and in isolation, doesn't paint the whole picture. They also referenced testimony from a forensic psychologist who explained to jurors how victims become ensnared by abusers. "The defence is throwing anything they can think of at the wall, hoping something will stick," Comey said. On Monday, Judge Arun Subramanian will instruct jurors on how to apply the law to the evidence for their deliberations. Then, 12 New Yorkers will determine Combs's future. But Combs's legal worries may not end there, after three new sexual assault lawsuits were filed against him this week. One was by a woman who alleged the rapper's son, Justin, lured her from the southern state of Louisiana to Los Angeles where she was held captive, drugged and gang raped by three masked men in 2017. One of the men was allegedly Sean Combs. The other two cases were filed by men who accuse the rapper and his team of drugging and sexually assaulting them at parties in 2021 and 2023.

‘This isn't about justice': Diddy defence slams racketeering trial as payday scheme
Diddy's legal team told jurors that his accusers were motivated by financial gain, not justice. Sean 'Diddy' Combs's lawyer told jurors Friday in closing arguments that the music mogul's racketeering and sex trafficking trial was all about his accusers trying to score a big payday. Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo scofffed at the picture painted by prosecutors of the 55-year-old former rapper as a violent, domineering man who used fear to force women into demeaning sex parties. The relationships between the 'self-made, successful Black entrepreneur' and his accusers were 'complicated' but amounted to 'love stories,' rather than the result of a 'climate of fear,' he said. 'This isn't about justice. This isn't about a crime. This is about money,' Agnifilo said. Prosecution outlines trail of influence and intimidation On Thursday, US attorney Christy Slavik had methodically walked the jury through the charges, summarizing thousands of phone, financial, travel and audiovisual records along with nearly seven weeks of testimony. Slavik said Combs had 'counted on silence and shame to keep his crimes hidden.' 'Up until today, the defendant was able to get away with these crimes because of his money, his power, his influence. That stops now,' she said. In explaining the most serious charge of racketeering, the prosecution said Combs led a criminal enteprise of 'loyal lieutanants' and 'foot soldiers' who 'existed to serve his needs.' ALSO READ: Kanye West drops track featuring daughter and Diddy, sparks legal feud with Kim Kardashian Central to their case is the claim that senior employees — including his chief-of-staff and security guards, none of whom testified — were aware of his actions and actively enabled them. Consent or coercion? As in their opening statements, Combs's defense conceded that some relationships may have involved domestic violence but insisted they did not amount to sex trafficking. The prosecution showed examples they say are 'crystal clear' evidence of trafficking that included coercion into drug-addled sex with paid escorts under threat of reputational, physical or financial harm. The defense countered that the women were consenting adults making their own choices. Cassie and 'Jane' described as willing partners, not victims Both women at the center of the trafficking charges — singer Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura and a woman testifying under the pseudonym Jane — were in long-term relationships with Combs. The defense argued the sex was consensual, if unorthodox. 'Cassie is nobody's fool,' said Agnifilo. 'She's sitting somewhere in the world with $30 million if you had to pick a winner in this whole thing, it would be Cassie.' 'She was always free to leave. She chose to stay because she was in love with him and he was in love with her.' Calling Ventura 'beautiful' and 'sexy,' he added: 'She's a woman who actually likes sex. Good for her.' ALSO READ: 'I thought I was going to die,' Kardashian tells in Paris robbery trial He questioned her testimony about being coerced into sex with male escorts, adding 'This was a lifestyle. You want to call it swingers. You want to call it threesomes… that's all it is.' Final arguments end as jury prepares for deliberation Addressing the now-infamous video of Combs beating Ventura in a hotel hallway, Agnifilo acknowledged it was 'terrible' and 'very much domestic violence,' but said, 'The video is not sex trafficking.' Jurors were shown many phone records that included messages of affection and desire from both women — but prosecutor Slavik said taking those words literally, and in isolation, doesn't paint the whole picture. Throughout her arguments she referenced testimony from a forensic psychologist who explained to jurors how victims become ensnared by their abusers. And in one powerful moment she asked jurors to put themselves in the shoes of Ventura, who testified of harrowing physical abuse for years under Combs. 'Imagine the terror of never knowing when the next hit might come,' Slavik said. 'Now imagine trying to say no to that person.' Government witnesses also included former assistants and other employees, as well as escorts, friends and family of Ventura, and a hotel security guard who said he was bribed with $100,000 in a paper bag. The defense opted against calling witnesses, including Combs himself, a strategy that's not uncommon in criminal trials. Once closing arguments conclude, judge Arun Subramanian will instruct jurors on how they are to apply the law to the evidence during their deliberations.
