As the highly watched trial involving Sean “Diddy” Combs unfolds, new developments continue to surface and the courtroom is heating up. With roughly three weeks left, the judge has confirmed the case is on track to wrap before July 4th, barring any further delays.
However, court proceedings were put on pause today due to one of the jurors reportedly suffering from vertigo, causing a temporary halt in testimony and cross-examinations.
In a significant update, sources close to the defense have confirmed that Diddy will not be taking the stand — at least for now. While the music mogul’s legal team appears to be holding that line, there’s still a chance they could reverse the decision, depending on how the next few weeks play out.
What’s been happening in court?
Just yesterday, jurors were shown graphic video footage of two alleged “freak-offs” involving Diddy and Cassie, the former artist and longtime associate who has been central to multiple civil and criminal allegations. The footage reportedly left the courtroom tense, with visible reactions from members of the jury.
Diddy has faced multiple legal issues this year, including multiple lawsuits and federal raids on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Though he has not been charged in those separate investigations (as of this writing), the weight of public attention is squarely on this trial.
As we move into the final weeks, all eyes are on whether Diddy’s team will make a surprise shift in strategy or let the tapes, testimonies, and silence speak for themselves. Both sides are prepared for Diddy to not take the stand at this point. You never know what the final play will be from neither side.
