After nearly seven weeks of arguments and witness testimony from federal prosecutors in New York, they made their brief presentation. On Tuesday afternoon, the prosecution concluded their presentation.
His defense lawyers contended that the judge ought to dismiss the case against him since the government has not met the burden of establishing any of the accusations against him, which he has strongly denied.
Additionally, Mr. Combs assured the court that he would not testify at his own trial. He told the judge, “It’s my decision with my lawyers” not to testify.
On allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to participate in prostitution, Mr. Combs entered a not guilty plea. If found guilty of the plot, he may spend the rest of his life behind bars.
