Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex‑trafficking and racketeering trial has just entered the jury deliberation phase as of June 30, 2025, with closing arguments concluded days earlier (theguardian.com).
⚖️ Overview & Key Points
1. Evenly Matched Case
An AI‑powered model reviewing courtroom data — 34 prosecution witnesses, extensive texts/videos, and no defense witnesses — estimates his chances of conviction vs. acquittal are about 50/50 (enstarz.com).
This reflects a highly contested case with ambiguous jury interpretation depending on which side’s narrative (coercion vs. consensual) resonates more.
2. Evidence Presented
Prosecution:
Incorporated testimony from 34 witnesses, including ex Cassie Ventura and an anonymous “Jane” (theguardian.com).
Introduced explicit video footage, drug-use context, and testimonies alleging coercion and criminal enterprise (theguardian.com).
Defense:
No defense witnesses were called; Diddy did not testify (theguardian.com).
