Netizens react to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial verdict
Diddy’s case has almost wrapped up since the jury has given its verdict, and here’s what people think about it
The Sean “Diddy” Combs case gained momentum towards the end, since the jury announced their verdict on the third day of deliberations.
In a shocking turn of event, the Bad Boy Records founder has been found not guilty on three of the five charges he was being tried for.
The jury has acquitted the Mo Money Mo Problems singer of his two sex trafficking charges, along with the racketeering conspiracy charge, finding him guilty of the transportation for prostitution of ex-girlfriends, namely Cassie Ventura and the anonymous Jane.
Following the verdict, the defence team attempted to persuade U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian to grant Diddy bail, which was swiftly denied.
The verdict received mixed reactions, with many internet users expressing their disappointment over the jury’s decision.
“The Jurors go by what evidence they have, but it's sounds like the Jurors didn't believe the victims that testified,” one user began.
Another theorised “For the same reason that jurors acquitted OJ Simpson 30 years ago; their names could be made public and their homes might be burned down.”
“The way he beat and dragged Cassie, he should get ten years just for that assault,” a third user wrote.
When will Diddy be sentenced?
Diddy is set to be sentenced months from now, as judge Arun Subramanian announced the date to be October 3, 2025.
