Sean 'Diddy' Combs seeks two-month delay of May 5 trial


Attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs asked a federal judge in New York to delay his May 5 sex-trafficking trial by two months so they can better prepare a defense.

In their letter, defense lawyers cited a failure by prosecutors to turn over potential trial evidence in a timely matter, including materials relating to a superseding indictment returned by a grand jury earlier this month. Prosecutors say Combs coerced and abused women for years as he used his "power and prestige" as a music star to enlist a network of associates and employees to help him while he silenced victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
