Diddy Trial Nears Finish Line: Defense Drops Mic, Jury Prep Begins
With the prosecution and defense both officially rested, the Diddy trial now shifts into its final act. Day 29 wasn’t about bombshells or drama, but logistics and legal maneuvers—setting the stage for closing arguments that kick off Thursday. Pugs Moran walks us through what happened behind closed doors today, where Judge Subramanian, prosecutors, and defense attorneys mapped out the trial’s endgame.
Most of the day centered around the judge and attorneys negotiating the jury instructions. This might sound dull, but it’s pivotal. The way the judge frames the case to the jury could shape how they weigh the mountain of sex, drugs, celebrity, and legal nuance thrown at them for 28 days.
The prosecution still clings to its racketeering theory, but Pugs points out just how weak that charge looks after yesterday’s defensive steamroll. With Diddy’s team declining to call a single witness and instead relying on a surgical dismantling of the prosecution’s credibility, the vibe is clear: they believe they’ve already won.
It’s almost curtain call. Closing arguments run Thursday and Friday. On Monday, the jury gets the case. At this rate, deliberations might take longer than the defense’s entire case—unless, of course, the jury sees things as plainly as Pugs does.
