Love him, hate him, or tired of hearing about him, it’s undeniable that Diddy has beaten all the odds. His fellow inmates are taking notice of the incredible legal victory and allegedly welcomed the star back to jail with open arms and a standing ovation.
This response seems fitting for the man who somehow won acquittals on charges that could have kept him behind bars for life.
According to Sean Diddy’s lawyer, the recent verdict was the best thing that could have happened for incarcerated Black men in America. The reason why, he says, is because we rarely see an underprivileged individual “beat the government,” in a way that Sean Diddy did. This statement hits the mark, considering Diddy was accused of extremely serious crimes, including sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit racketeering.
Combs was convicted on prostitution-related charges, some of the least severe criminal charges levied against him. Despite that, it could still result in several more years behind bars. So far, Diddy has already earned 10 months served credit time while awaiting trial. His pending sentence will consider the time he’s already spent and include it in any sentence.
Diddy’s win is being credited to his confident and competent legal team, which included eight defense lawyers. Marc Agnifilo was Diddy’s leading legal advocate, who pushed for the legal strategy that ultimately led several jurors to side with the former rapper.
The strategy involved painting out Diddy to be a jealous, drug addicted, domestic abuser. While he certainly was not a good partner, his actions were far from sex trafficking. Instead, lawyers painted Diddy out to be a man who was simply living a “swinger” lifestyle involving threesomes with his girlfriend and other men.
Evidence of Diddy’s violent behavior was so obvious that the legal team didn’t try to deny it. Instead, they simply tried to confuse jurors into thinking the incident was emotionally charged rather than part of a sex trafficking coercion effort. Agnifilo confirmed after the trial that his strategy was to belittle the charges while mocking the investigation. He also attempted to make the argument that the charges against Diddy were a result of the federal government attempting to “come into our bedrooms,” and pry into our intimate lives.
After receiving the verdict, Diddy reportedly mouthed “thank you” to the jurors while smiling. His family and supporters applauded as he was escorted from the room. Some people within the court could be heard chanting “Dream Team! Dream Team!” in reference to Diddy’s lawyers. Some of the attorneys even shed tears after the victory.
