The case against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has sparked a lot of alarm bells to ring through the legal framework, and its all because of the allegations being taken off the table.
Criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis has just stepped forward with his personal take on the case against Diddy.
He shared everything in an interview with Fox News Digital, and warned how last minute changes at the ‘eleventh hour’ in this case would really mislead the jury.
In an effort to explain the dangers Mr Faddis explained, “In order to find Diddy guilty of RICO, the jury has to find him guilty of at least two underlying crimes in connection with the alleged criminal enterprise, Bad Boy.”
So “this move by the prosecution significantly limits the underlying crimes the jury can consider in deciding if Diddy is guilty of RICO”.
In doing so they would be “reducing the scope of the RICO charge and the case more generally.”
Before concluding he also admitted, “all things considered, I think it makes it less likely that Diddy will be found guilty of RICO.”
For those unversed, the government will not pursue some allegations against Diddy, namely attempted kidnapping, attempted arson, as well as aiding and abetting sex trafficking.
The announcement was made in an official statement submitted to the judge presiding over the case.
According to the outlet the document states, “The Government understands the Court’s desire for streamlined instructions. With that in mind, the Government has suggested ways to streamline those instructions.”
“Specifically, the Government has removed instructions from the charge relating to (i) attempted kidnapping under both California and New York law, (ii) attempted arson under California law, and (iii) aiding and abetting sex trafficking. The Government is no longer planning to proceed on these theories of liability so instructions are no longer necessary.”
