Ex-Prosecutor Is 'Doubtful' Diddy Will Be Convicted on the Most Serious Charges He Faces

Jurors have already reached verdicts on four of the five charges against Sean "Diddy" Combs but they remain deadlocked on one count of racketeering

Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor and legal commentator, says he's "doubtful" the jury will convict on either of the two sex trafficking counts, citing the high bar required to prove force, fraud or coercion. During the trial, prosecutors alleged that Combs coerced Ventura and another woman who testified under the pseudonym "Jane," to participate in drug-fueled sex sessions called " freak off" parties or “hotel nights.” Combs, she said, enlisted his “close inner circle and a small army of personal staff, who made it their mission to meet the defendant’s every desire, promote his power and protect his reputation at all costs,” according to the AP.
