Diddy Judge Appears to Be Considering Vacating His Convictions

The federal judge overseeing Sean “ Diddy ” Combs’ imminent sentencing on the two lesser counts a jury found him guilty of in the split verdict at his sensational racketeering and sex trafficking trial over the summer is now weighing the argument from the mogul’s defense team that his conviction should be vacated if he must have a new trial.

On Thursday, just over a week before Combs, 55, is scheduled for sentencing after he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, Judge Arun Subramanian told the court that he would issue a decision “very shortly” on the defense’s argument about Combs’ crimes and their relation to the Mann Act. Otherwise, Subramanian said, he would “see everyone back here next Friday.”
