Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Motion for Mistrial Denied By Judge In Sex-Trafficking Trial

The Diddy trial judge has denied a motion for a mistrial filed by lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs in his sex trafficking case.

Attorneys for the embattled hip hop mogul had argued that prosecutors knowingly introduced false testimony by Bryana Bongolan – the witness who claimed last week that Combs dangled her from a 17-story balcony in 2016. But at the start of Tuesday’s proceedings, Judge Arun Subramanian said the alleged issue did not rise to the level of a trial-ending error: “This is not fodder for a mistrial. Bongolan testified that she took photos of her injuries from the attack on September 26, 2016, but defense attorneys said they had hotel receipts showing Diddy was in New York from Sept. 24 to 29 of that year.
