Episode 447: The Moment Diddy Finds Out He’s “Not Guilty” On Major Charges

---

Deputy: In the matter of USA v. Combs, how do you find the defendant, Sean Combs, for count one, racketeering conspiracy?

Juror 5: Not guilty. 

There’s a small gasp from Diddy’s two rows of friends and family. 

Deputy: As for sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura, how do you find the defendant?

Juror 5: Not guilty.

Someone from the same section of the gallery says “yeah!!” It was quiet but in the tension of the courtroom it is clear that everyone heard it. His kids have broken into smiles, happily nodding.  

Deputy: Transportation for purposes of prostitution related to Casandra Ventura?

Juror 5: Guilty.

There’s no reaction. 

Deputy: As for sex trafficking of Jane, how do you find the defendant?

Juror 5: Not guilty.

Teny Geragos tightly grips Sean Combs’s hand across the table as the defense team exchanges positive looks.

Deputy: Transportation for purposes of prostitution related to Jane? 

Juror 5: Guilty.

As the entire courtroom stands and watches the jury leave, Combs continues to nod and clasp his hands in prayer directed towards the jurors; a silent ‘thank you.’

Basically the moment the jury walk out of the room, Marc Agnifilo, Sean Combs's lead defense attorney immediately petitions the Judge.

Judge: Are you proposing he just walk outside now?

Agnifilo: Yes…
