Legal experts analyze Diddy’s defense strategy in sex crimes case

The decision of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ According to legal experts, the lawyers not to call witnesses to testify in order to testify in his federal procedure for sexual crimes, according to legal experts, by reasonable doubts.

The lawyer of Diddy, Marc Agnifilo, announced on Monday that the defense is planning to check evidence with the jury and do not require witnesses to testify in the name of the rapper. The rapper’s legal team assumes to clear out his case on Wednesday. The final arguments are expected to begin the following day.

“The decision as to whether witnesses are called during the defense procedure or not is a calculated risk”, criminal defense and civil lawyer Adanté Zeiger From lawyers for the People LLC told Fox News Digital.

Diddy Defense is not expected to call witnesses in sex trade

“No witnesses to call means that the defense of the jury essentially says that there is no one in the entire universe that can speak in the name of Diddy to help his defense. On the other hand, this person can question and possibly explain harmful statements against Diddy, depending on their interaction with him and their knowledge of these women.”

Pointer compared the defense’s decision not to call a “Pandora box” witnesses.

“In view of the defense, she does not signal that you don’t want to call a single witnessThey do not believe that potential defense -friendly witnesses will lead to a net profit for Diddy. His lawyers have essentially found that the juice is not worth the press. “

Missing witnesses and persistent questions are plagued by criminal law

Judge Arun Subramanian Will probably ask Diddy to confirm his decision not to comment.

“Diddy statements would only allow law enforcement to make their case and to put the previous evidence for a second or third time in front of the jury,” said Pointer. “The public prosecutor would have a field day that goes through every single video, text and testimonies against it and diddy forced the authenticity of the videos, the income and invoices to admit objects in its houses and hotel rooms, and that it was present during the events described in previous statements.

“In view of the evidence that have already been presented in court, this would most likely be an overwhelming and humiliating cross -experiences, as far as they behave their entire career.”

Completion of arguments for the process that started May 5 with selection of the juryIt is expected that the lawyers are explained by Diddys that they would only need two days to defend their client.

Process lawyer Tre Lovell Said Fox News Digital that the defense probably wants to double appropriate doubts and that Diddy’s “exotic lifestyle” does not correspond to what the public prosecutor has proposed, namely “Diddy has formed a criminal company to enjoy the Tony soprano of baby oil”.

“The only reason not to call witnesses in their defense is, if they absolutely believe that there are reasonable doubts and that they do not want to do anything to remove this, including calls,” said Lovell. “It would make sense to call a psychiatrist to explain that the behavior of Cassie and Jane reflects a mutually amicable relationship that is based on autonomy that every woman had, the advantages and love they had for Diddy.

“In addition, it would be helpful to call managers at Bad Boy Entertainment in order to distance the companies of Diddy’s personal behavior, dispel the criminal corporate element. Finally, possibly an industry or an legal expert to distinguish the aspects of” sex workers “against ‘prostitution’ in order to counter the prostitution.”

Lovell added: “However, the defense felt that even such witnesses would be called in order to adversely influence reasonable doubts and decided to do so.”

Mark ChutkowThe previously headed the criminal department of the US public prosecutor’s office in Detroit believed that Diddy’s decision, not to say, was “a clever”.

“It is a really big gambling to testify in a case like this in which the law enforcement has raised tasks that enables them to bring this abundance of bad actions there,” said Chutkow. “By standing, he would only submit bad acts that were prohibited by the court. And that was probably the right call.”

“Diddy’s decision, not to say, can also be considered versed, since he can finally say: ‘Look at the jury, the indictment had six weeks to show them that they are trying to prove their case.’ The defenders will say the following: “We have shown the reasonable doubts through our cross -experiences, and we no longer want to waste enough. And to remind the jury that the presumption of innocence always goes to Diddy as a defendant. “

Chutkow noticed what the government’s burden of proof is not in the founder or his team from Bad Boy Records.

“If you present a case when you are on the defense side, you are better good, because if it falls flat, they somehow move the marker back and you could be in a worse position,” said the lawyer. “So sometimes there is less. I know that some people suggest it: ‘Well, wow, he doesn’t have something that he could wear?’ In a way, it can be an opportunity for defense to say: ‘No, we didn’t have to.’ “

Wache: Legal expert explains Diddy’s defense movements

Since the case approached more than seven weeks after the beginning and nine months after the arrest and indictment nearby, Chutkow thought that both sides “did what they wanted to achieve”.

“The public prosecutor has invested all evidence. However, it was not excluded. However, the defense did a good job in the transverse trials,” he said. “You brought a lot of additional messages between Diddy and these other women to show that the relationship is much more complex.

“One of the things I think that the public prosecutor’s office is basically to say in the final argument:” Look, this is not like a trade case you would see on TV. It is not the case that you have no situation in which someone is kidnapped and tied up in a basement.

Chutkow added: “The other area that I think he wants to emphasize in this case. The use of the ligaments and the risk of exposure to these ligaments in order to make women fulfill what diddy wanted to do is an element of the forced purpose itself and if I were on the persecution of the persecution.”

Combs was charged with the extortion conspiracy (rico); Sex trade with violence, fraud or coercion; And transport to prostitution in an indictment for federal charges that is not sealed on September 17th. He faces 15 years in convicted prison. Diddy kept his innocence.
