Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo argued that Cassie Ventura was the winner of her relationship with Combs. "She is sitting somewhere in the world with $30 million," he said. "He's in jail." And he tried to make the prosecution of Combs relatable. "They take yellow crime scene tape, figuratively, and they wrap it around his bedroom," he said. "The crime scene is your private sex life." In its rebuttal, the prosecution said the defense "just spent a whole lot of energy trying to blame his victims and the U.S. government for his lies, his threats, and his violence."If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

"He won't take no for an answer," said prosecutor Christy Slavik. She said it over and over during a summation that lasted more than four hours. She argued that the "common purpose" of Combs and his "inner circle" -- his chief of staff, his bodyguards, and some of his assistants -- was to protect him from bad press and law enforcement. And she recounted the dramatic stories told in the courtroom in the past six weeks: Goodfellas-type scenes of alleged bribery, arson, and kidnapping.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

 Was Sean 'Diddy' Combs a Criminal Mastermind or Just Reckless & Rich The federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs exposes unsettling details about power, privilege, and alleged criminal behavior at the pinnacle of fame. But a pivotal question lingers: Was Diddy truly a criminal mastermind, deliberately orchestrating a sophisticated sex trafficking and racketeering enterprise, or was he merely a reckless celebrity whose lavish lifestyle spiraled dangerously out of control? In this comprehensive analysis, expert attorney Eric Faddis, a seasoned legal professional with experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, dives into the nuances separating deliberate criminality from reckless excess. Eric walks us through precisely how prosecutors are using the RICO statute—typically reserved for mob bosses and organized crime—to paint Combs as a calculated, sinister figure running a criminal enterprise. Yet, the evidence is not without ambiguity. Eric closely examines testimony and evidence from Combs' trial, highlighting areas of potential weakness for the prosecution, including dropped charges and the critical absence of identified co-conspirators. Could the jury interpret these gaps as proof of a weaker-than-expected case? Faddis unpacks how jurors might distinguish clear criminal intent from reckless indulgence and personal dysfunction. Moreover, Eric explores how the graphic nature of certain evidence might emotionally influence jurors, potentially clouding their interpretation of complex legal standards. He analyzes precisely why proving intent and coordination under RICO law is particularly challenging, discussing whether the prosecution might have stretched their narrative too far. Watch this in-depth discussion for a clear, insightful breakdown of the strategies, strengths, and vulnerabilities in this high-profile case. Is Diddy a calculated criminal leader or simply an irresponsible, wealthy man whose questionable behavior went unchecked for too long? Eric Faddis provides essential context and clarity ahead of the jury's pivotal decision.

Full Breakdown Of Diddy's Closing Arguments, Will It Be Enough To Save Him In a gripping courtroom finale, Sean "Diddy" Combs's defense team delivered powerful closing arguments, painting a dramatically different picture than what prosecutors had portrayed throughout the high-stakes federal trial. Lead defense attorney Marc Agnifilo passionately characterized the government's case as a "badly exaggerated" and misleading narrative—branding it as a "false trial" born from prosecutorial overreach. Rather than a ruthless criminal kingpin, the jury heard about a self-made entrepreneur, a committed family man, and a generous individual whose success uplifted many others. Highlighting Combs's decades-long record of supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion well ahead of social trends, Agnifilo urged jurors to see beyond sensationalized claims. He carefully pointed out Combs's ongoing support for family and friends, showcasing genuine relationships—even referencing direct financial support for a former partner who attended court proceedings. The defense underscored the difference between moral missteps or personal failings and serious federal crimes, challenging the jury to reject sensationalism and uphold true justice. Will jurors be convinced by the defense's portrayal of Combs as a misunderstood, flawed, yet fundamentally decent man unfairly targeted? Or will the prosecution's allegations prove too compelling to ignore? Join us as we break down every crucial detail of this critical courtroom moment, exploring precisely how the defense team strategically sought to dismantle the narrative of criminal enterprise. This is an essential episode for anyone following this landmark trial, providing deep insights into how high-powered defense tactics unfold in real-time and highlighting what it could mean for celebrity accountability moving forward.

Will Sean Combs Walk Free or Face Life Behind Bars Sean "Diddy" Combs now faces a future defined by one stark question: Will he regain his freedom or spend the rest of his life behind bars? The federal trial that's gripped national headlines brought allegations so severe they seemed straight out of a gritty crime drama—sex trafficking, racketeering, coercion, violence, and manipulation at the highest level of celebrity power. The prosecution, armed with graphic videos, emotionally charged testimonies, and meticulous financial records, has depicted Combs as the orchestrator of a sinister criminal enterprise. Yet, astonishingly, Combs' defense team rested their case without calling a single witness, not even the man himself. In this critical analysis, Eric Faddis, former prosecutor and prominent defense attorney, provides a unique insider's perspective on this risky defense tactic. Did Combs' attorneys confidently decide the prosecution failed to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt, or did they avoid the stand because they knew any testimony could damage their client's chance of acquittal further? Eric explores what impact the disturbing evidence—such as the graphic assault video involving Cassie Ventura—could have on the jury. Could the visceral shock of such images override any reasonable doubt in jurors' minds, pushing them toward a conviction, or will strict adherence to legal standards give Combs a chance at acquittal? With jurors set to deliberate, Eric details exactly what they'll consider, emphasizing how factors like juror psychology, clarity of jury instructions, and the defense's unorthodox approach could significantly influence the trial's outcome. As viewers anxiously await a verdict, this video serves as an essential guide, laying bare the complexities of this unprecedented courtroom battle, and the profound implications—legally, culturally, and personally—for Sean "Diddy" Combs. Is this the end of Diddy's freedom, or could he miraculously walk free?

After lunch, Marc Agnifilo sharpened his focus on reframing the core allegations as nothing more than the product of consensual, if unconventional, relationships. He argued that what the government described as trafficking was in fact a mutual lifestyle choice embraced by Combs and his partners, particularly Cassie Ventura and “Jane.” He portrayed the so-called “freak-offs” not as coercive events, but as expressions of intimacy, repeating that “this is how they're close.” He told jurors that Cassie willingly participated, highlighting video stills of her appearing relaxed and smiling in a hotel suite. His argument hinged on the notion that proximity, emotional connection, and shared sexual experiences were being weaponized into crimes by prosecutors bent on sensationalism.Agnifilo then turned to dismantling the narrative around the more violent or incendiary allegations. He admitted Combs had a temper and was at times abusive but insisted that this did not constitute racketeering or sex trafficking. He called the accusation that Combs burned Kid Cudi's car “nonsense,” dismissing it as an exaggerated lover's spat. He also attacked the claim that Combs attempted to bribe his employees to delete security footage, arguing that his behavior reflected paranoia, not criminal intent. Addressing the testimony of “Mia,” he downplayed her account by pointing to photos of her smiling alongside Combs and others, insinuating that her story lacked the gravity and consistency of a real trafficking survivor. His overarching theme was that the prosecution had cherry-picked moments of dysfunction and exaggerated them into a federal case.He left the jury with one final statement:"America is great because between each citizen and the government there is a jury. This is your house. I am asking you to summon that courage to to do the right thing and acquit Sean Combs on all counts. He is not a racketeer. He is innocent.  Let him go home to his family."to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:@innercitypress

Kristina Khorram is Sean "Diddy" Combs' Chief of Staff and has worked closely with him for over a decade, playing a significant role in his business operations. Recently, her involvement has come under scrutiny as part of the federal investigation into Diddy's alleged sex trafficking and racketeering activities. Khorram has been described as a central figure in facilitating some of Diddy's alleged criminal operations, with comparisons to Ghislaine Maxwell due to her role in managing certain illicit activities. She has not been formally charged but remains a key figure in the investigation.(commercial at 19:44)source:Sean 'Diddy' Combs exec - once called his 'Ghislaine Maxwell' - could hold secrets of alleged sex crime empire | Daily Mail OnlineBrendan Paul, a close assistant to Sean "Diddy" Combs, was arrested in March 2024 at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport during a federal raid. Authorities found cocaine and marijuana-laced candy in his travel bags. This arrest coincided with searches of Diddy's properties in Miami and Los Angeles as part of a larger federal investigation involving Diddy. Brendan Paul was charged with felony drug possession, and his case was seen as potentially impacting Diddy's ongoing legal troubles, which include allegations related to sex trafficking and illegal firearms.Paul, a former Syracuse University basketball player, was referred to as Diddy's "drug mule" in a separate civil lawsuit, where he was accused of acquiring and distributing drugs and guns for Diddy. Despite the serious charges, Paul avoided jail time by accepting a plea deal, entering a drug diversion program that will result in the charges being dismissed upon completion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Marc Agnifilo opened the defense's closing argument by sharply criticizing the government's characterization of Combs's private life as criminal. He jeered at the federal agents for seizing large quantities of Astroglyde and baby oil, sarcastically applauding, “Way to go, fellas,” and insisted that the case had been “badly exaggerated”.     Agnifilo argued that what the prosecution portrayed as a racketeering enterprise was nothing more than consensual behavior—a swingers' lifestyle with drug use—and proclaimed that Combs “did not do racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking."Before the morning break, Agnifilo portrayed Combs not as a felon but as “a self‑made, successful Black entrepreneur,” emphasizing that the relationships at issue were voluntary, if “toxic,” rather than coerced.   He reframed the case as one driven by financial motives, asserting that the accusers, particularly Cassie Ventura, pursued the criminal lawsuit for money—highlighting her multi‑million‑dollar settlement—as opposed to genuine grievances.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:@innercitypress

After lunch, Slavik resumed by delving deeper into the case of the witness known as “Jane,” outlining the four stages of her relationship with Combs—from early “love‑bombing” to repeated “hotel nights” (or “freak‑offs”) orchestrated under Combs's control via lies, threats, and the looming possibility of losing housing or having intimate recordings released.   She emphasized that even a single coerced encounter—if facilitated by his enterprise—met the legal definition of sex trafficking. “You do not need to find that all of the freak‑offs… were force or coercion,” she told jurors; “if there was one time, one single freak‑off, when the defendant knew or recklessly disregarded that [Jane] was participating because of his lies, his threats or his violence—then that's it. He's guilty”Shifting focus, Slavik then tackled the transportation-for-prostitution counts, showing how Combs and his aides paid for male escorts to travel—through flights, hotels, and bank records—to facilitate these encounters.  She dismissed the notion of consensual participation, arguing that it “doesn't matter” whether the escorts consented—the crime lies in transporting them for paid sexual activity. She underscored that the enterprise facilitated this process, reinforcing the RICO charge's breadth. Shortly before the afternoon break, Slavik turned back to Cassie Ventura's situation, pointing to the strategic use of text messages and fear-based threats—recalling that Combs blackmailed her with videos and deployed violence and control tactics—to show the jury how a pattern of coercion extended across relationshipsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:   @innercitypress

Right after the lunch recess, Slavik resumed by focusing on Combs's relationship with “Jane,” the pseudonymous ex-girlfriend. She recapped how Combs escalated from “love‑bombing” with gifts and trips to coercive “hotel-night” sessions, leveraging his control over Jane's living situation and finances. She emphasized that even a single coerced “freak-off” session is enough for a sex-trafficking conviction, reminding the jury that Jane testified: “I didn't want it to feel too real… it just made things easier,” indicating she participated out of fear and manipulation.Slavik then turned to racketeering and witness tampering, detailing how Combs and associates reached out to Jane and former assistant “Mia” after Cassie Ventura's lawsuit—playing recordings of calls where he encouraged Jane to downplay her experiences and used D‑Roc's presence to intimidate Mia, who testified she felt “terrified”Christy Slavik concluded her nearly five-hour closing argument with a powerful, emotional plea that marked a clear turning point in her case. First, she reminded the jury that regardless of how disturbing the evidence was, it “proves to you that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.” Then, with quiet force, she directly appealed to the jurors: “Up until today, the defendant was able to get away with his crimes because of his money, power and influence. It's time to hold him accountable. It's time for justice. It's time to find the defendant guilty.”By ending her summation this way, Slavik framed the jury's role sharply: Combs's fame, wealth, and the influence that once shielded him must no longer be a barrier to accountability. Her closing words repositioned the deliberation as a matter of principle—justice over privilege—and underscored the gravity of the decision now entrusted to the twelve jurors. 　to contact me:  bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:@innercitypress

The comparison between Ghislaine Maxwell and Kristina Khorrum misses the mark because it fundamentally misrepresents their roles and levels of power within the criminal enterprises they were allegedly tied to. Ghislaine Maxwell operated as a partner to Jeffrey Epstein—his chief recruiter, enabler, and co-conspirator in a global sex trafficking operation. She was embedded in the core infrastructure of Epstein's scheme, allegedly participating in abuse and directly managing the grooming and procurement of girls. Kristina Khorrum, by contrast, is not accused of building or leading a criminal network. While her name has surfaced in connection with allegations involving Sean Combs, there is no indication she held a central operational role akin to Maxwell's. Positioning Khorrum as a "Maxwell-type" distorts the dynamics at play and exaggerates her authority within the hierarchy.A more appropriate comparison is between Kristina Khorrum and Sarah Kellen Vickers, one of Epstein's assistants who functioned as a gatekeeper and scheduler for abuse but operated under Epstein and Maxwell's control. Like Vickers, Khorrum has been portrayed in some accounts as someone who facilitated logistics—setting up appointments, flights, and possibly assisting with Combs' social circles—but not as a mastermind or commanding authority figure. Both women occupied roles that blurred the line between assistant and enabler, raising difficult legal and ethical questions about complicity versus coercion. Importantly, neither was the architect of the criminal enterprise they were allegedly part of; they were the gears, not the engine. Drawing parallels to Vickers allows for a more nuanced and realistic evaluation of Khorrum's alleged actions—one that accounts for power dynamics, proximity to abuse, and potential pressures, rather than flattening them under the weight of sensational comparisons.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Slavik began by hammering home that Sean “Diddy” Combs was the unquestioned leader of a criminal enterprise—a “kingdom” built on wealth, fame, and a loyal inner circle ready to do his bidding. She painted a picture of Combs as empowered by his status and surrounded by lieutenants—assistants and security personnel—who enabled violent and criminal conduct. Addressing the racketeering conspiracy, she reminded jurors that the law views group crime as more dangerous, arguing that Combs's enterprise committed hundreds of predicate acts: from drug distribution and bribery to witness tampering and forced labor.   She emphasized that Combs “doesn't take no for an answer” and “used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted,” spotlighting the relationship between his authority and the alleged crimes.Slavik then pivoted to the heart of the case—the sex‑trafficking and “freak‑off” allegations. She revisited testimony from former partners Cassie Ventura and Jane, underlining how they were allegedly drugged and coerced into participating in orgies with escorts, all orchestrated by Combs. She stressed that “drugs were an essential ingredient” in these events, part of how Combs maintained control and compliance, procuring substances through his enterprise.    ith stark imagery and ferocity, she alleged that he repeatedly “forced, threatened and manipulated” victims—making it clear that this was a pattern of exploitation, not isolated incidents.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:   @innercitypress

Grace O'Marcaigh has filed serious allegations against both Sean "Diddy" Combs and his son, Christian Combs. O'Marcaigh claims that she was sexually assaulted by Christian while working as a crew member on a yacht chartered by the Combs family in December 2022. According to her lawsuit, Christian coerced her into drinking tequila, which she suspects was drugged. She alleges that after becoming impaired, Christian became aggressive and assaulted her in various areas of the yacht, including a private studio. O'Marcaigh reported the incident to the yacht's captain but claims that no action was taken, as Christian allegedly paid off the captain. She also asserts that she was later fired in retaliation for reporting the incident.The allegations extend to Diddy, with O'Marcaigh accusing him of enabling and possibly covering up Christian's behavior. The lawsuit is part of a broader pattern of accusations against Diddy, including other sexual misconduct and abuse cases​.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:combs-conformed-suit.pdf (deadline.com)

"He won't take no for an answer," said prosecutor Christy Slavik. She said it over and over during a summation that lasted more than four hours. She argued that the "common purpose" of Combs and his "inner circle" -- his chief of staff, his bodyguards, and some of his assistants -- was to protect him from bad press and law enforcement. And she recounted the dramatic stories told in the courtroom in the past six weeks: Goodfellas-type scenes of alleged bribery, arson, and kidnapping.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy https://www.nbcnews.com/diddy-on-trial

Will The Jury Convict Sean Diddy Combs, Defense Expert Gives Inside Insight Sean "Diddy" Combs, one of music's most celebrated and powerful moguls, finds himself at the center of a high-stakes federal trial with shocking charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and interstate prostitution. With a jury now deliberating, the question on everyone's mind is clear: Will Sean Combs be convicted, or will his defense's unusual courtroom strategy save him from decades behind bars? Throughout this intense trial, prosecutors presented disturbing testimony, graphic video evidence, and detailed financial documents painting Diddy as the mastermind behind a criminal enterprise. But notably absent was any defense testimony, including from Combs himself—a risky gamble or a calculated confidence? In this in-depth video, defense expert Eric Faddis, an attorney who's worked both sides as a prosecutor and defense counsel, gives exclusive insider insights. Eric carefully evaluates the prosecution's evidence, exploring whether they've truly met their substantial burden of proof. He also scrutinizes the jury instructions, detailing precisely what jurors need to consider legally versus emotionally. The absence of defense witnesses is significant—does this suggest confidence in reasonable doubt, or will jurors perceive it as weakness or guilt by omission? Faddis breaks down what exactly goes through jurors' minds as they sift through complex legal arguments, emotional testimonies, and unsettling revelations, highlighting precisely what could tip the scales toward conviction or acquittal. As deliberations continue behind closed doors, Faddis' insights provide a critical roadmap to understanding the potential outcomes, implications, and strategies that may determine Sean Combs' future. Could Diddy's celebrity status play a subconscious role in the jury room, or will jurors strictly adhere to the facts and the law? Watch now as Eric Faddis delivers expert analysis of one of the most consequential celebrity trials in recent memory, breaking down precisely why the jury's decision could change Diddy's life forever.

The Diddy Trial From Start Up To Closing: What Happened & What's Next  Sean "Diddy" Combs—music mogul, entrepreneur, icon—now finds himself at the center of one of the most explosive federal trials in recent memory. After weeks of intense courtroom drama, graphic evidence, and disturbing testimonies, federal prosecutors have officially rested their case, accusing Combs of running a criminal empire involving racketeering, sex trafficking, and interstate prostitution. The allegations are as serious as they are shocking, painting a picture of Combs using his immense power and celebrity status to allegedly orchestrate what prosecutors describe as coercive and violent sexual activities disguised as lavish "freak off" parties. The trial unfolded dramatically, featuring testimonies from 34 witnesses including alleged victims, former employees, bodyguards, hotel managers, and male escorts. Prosecutors showcased explicit video recordings, detailed text exchanges, and financial records purportedly linking Combs directly to these activities. Notably absent from the defense were any witnesses—including Combs himself—raising questions about their bold strategy of resting without rebuttal. With closing arguments imminent, all eyes now shift to the jury. The defense maintains Combs' innocence, suggesting the activities were consensual adult encounters, while prosecutors insist they were violent, manipulative, and illegal. The trial's outcome will profoundly impact not only Combs' future—potentially facing life imprisonment if convicted—but also how celebrities' power dynamics and abuses are handled in federal court moving forward. In this deep dive, we break down exactly what happened today in the courtroom, what it means for the trial's outcome, and what comes next as the jury prepares to deliberate. Join us as we uncover the full scope of this case, discussing the broader implications for celebrity accountability, the power dynamics in the entertainment industry, and the line between private behavior and criminal misconduct.

On May 18, 2025, the Government submitted a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian in United States v. Combs, S3 24 Cr. 542 (AS), addressing unresolved issues regarding witnesses for the upcoming trial session. The letter highlights a dispute over the introduction of text communications between Dawn Richard and the defendant, Sean Combs, from 2020 to 2023, which the defense plans to present under the hearsay exception for the declarant's then-existing state of mind (Rule 803(3)). The communications involve Ms. Richard initiating contact with Combs, discussing professional matters, and expressing affection for him. The Government objects to the introduction of these messages, arguing they are irrelevant to her expected testimony, which focuses on events from 2009 to 2011. Additionally, the Government notes that the defense's proffered evidence does not relate to Ms. Richard's state of mind during the relevant time period, nor does it support her testimony.The letter also addresses Kerry Morgan and David James, who are involved in the same issue. The defense seeks to use communications from both of these individuals, but the Government asserts that these too are irrelevant and should be excluded. The Government further argues that the text exchanges between Ms. Richard and Combs cannot be used for impeachment, as they would actually corroborate Ms. Richard's testimony. She is expected to testify that, after leaving her employment with Combs in 2011, she intentionally maintained a professional relationship with him, given his past threats. Therefore, the affectionate nature of the text messages would support, rather than challenge, her testimony. The Government requests that the Court preclude these communications from being introduced as evidence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.355.0.pdf

On June 24, 2025, the prosecution in United States v. Combs submitted a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian outlining its requested revisions to the Court's proposed jury instructions. The Government focused on ensuring that the legal language provided to jurors accurately reflected the elements of the charges and the standards for assessing the evidence presented during trial. These changes were framed as necessary to clarify certain points of law and to avoid confusion or misinterpretation by the jury during deliberations.Specifically, the Government asked for adjustments in how the Court defines terms relevant to the RICO and sex trafficking charges, as well as how jurors are to weigh credibility and determine the presence of coercion or conspiracy. The letter emphasized the importance of precision in explaining legal thresholds such as "reasonable doubt" and the role of predicate acts in establishing a racketeering enterprise. The Government also noted that its suggestions were consistent with Second Circuit model instructions and past precedent, aiming to protect the integrity of the jury's decision-making process in a complex and high-profile case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.422.0.pdf

Federal prosecutors handling Sean “Diddy” Combs' racketeering case informed Judge Arun Subramanian—on June 25, just before closing arguments—that they would no longer pursue three specific predicate charges: attempted kidnapping, attempted arson, and aiding and abetting sex trafficking. These predicates were part of the broader racketeering conspiracy charge. Prosecutors said the decision was aimed at simplifying jury instructions and helping jurors focus on the remaining core allegations.Despite dropping those predicates, the prosecution still pressed ahead with the central charges, including racketeering tied to forced labor, drug offenses, and bribery, as well as two counts of sex trafficking and one count of transportation for prostitution.   The timeline saw the prosecution rest after calling 34 witnesses over 29 days, and the defense surprisingly rested in just over 20 minutes—calling no witnesses and relying on text-message evidenceto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prosecutors in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial backtrack on several allegations | Fox News

Sean "Diddy" Combs has bolstered his legal team by adding two new high-profile attorneys: Anthony Ricco, a renowned trial lawyer, and Alexandra Shapiro, an appellate expert. This decision comes amid his ongoing legal battle after his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs is accused of being involved in a wide-ranging conspiracy, leading to a highly publicized case. His legal team is now making a third attempt to secure his release on bail after previous denials.In their latest filing, Combs' defense proposed a $50 million bail package, which included stringent conditions such as no female visitors outside his family. Despite this, U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter denied the request, citing concerns that Combs remained a danger to the public. His lawyers continue to argue for his release, claiming that he is innocent and poses no flight risk.(commercial at 9:30)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy enlists high-powered legal team for THIRD bail attempt... two weeks after his arrest for sex trafficking charges | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the case United States v. Combs, Inc., 24-cr-542 (AS), the defense submitted a letter to Judge Subramanian further supporting their requested edits to the Court's proposed jury charge. The defense elaborated on certain issues that were referenced in comment bubbles within their proposed edits, which are aimed at modifying the jury instructions to better align with their legal arguments. These proposed edits highlight key areas where the defense believes the current jury charge may mislead or improperly influence the jury's decision-making process.Additionally, the defense also addressed objections to the government's redline edits, which likely included the prosecution's own proposed modifications to the jury instructions. The letter emphasized specific points of contention where the defense felt the prosecution's edits were either incomplete or insufficient in ensuring that the jury received a fair and accurate legal framework for deliberation. The correspondence from the defense represents a critical step in refining the instructions that the jury will follow when ultimately deciding the outcome of the case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.421.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
