Sean “Diddy” Combs asked the judge who monitored his case to clear him or give him a new process – before he was even convicted.
In a 62-page memorandum, which was submitted overnight on Wednesday, Combs' defense argues that he was wrongly addressed by the Federal Government and that his conviction was “unconstitutional” and unprecedented.
Combs was sentenced to prostitution for two transport companies at the beginning of this month, but was acquitted due to the more serious indictment for conspiracy and sex trade.
During his trial, the prosecutors accused of comments to lead a criminal company that consisted of some of its closest employees, and claimed that they had applied threats, violence, forced labor, bribery and other crimes to force Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and another woman to deal with male escors with male escorts. His lawyers argued that the sex files were mutually acceptable and single preferences of a “swinger” lifestyle, while trying to undermine the accusers of the hip-hop mogul by claiming they tried to obtain monetary benefits from combing. He was not guilty of all charges.
The new registration states that Combs is the only person in America who was condemned under his circumstances according to the man's law. His lawyers argued that he was only charged because of the two transport companies that deal with prostitution with prostitution, his process would have been completely different, with less violence for the jury being presented.
“This conviction is alone, but should not stand at all,” wrote the lawyer of Combs, Alexandra Shapiro, in the memorandum.
“Since the Sean Combs government arrested last September, she has been painting him as a monster for months. The public prosecutor accused him of having operated 20 years of entrepreneurship and acting several women,” the registrations said. “But his two -month process showed that these charges were not supported by credible evidence, and the jury rejected them.”
The submission continues: “Mr. Combs is now only condemned by two prostitutional stories in the context of the Mann law, which requires no proof of coercion, threats or fraud. The government told the jury that it had to condemn it as long as Mr. Combs has been convicted of a long-time girlfriend or a paid male escort or an entertainer to travel together to bring state borders together so To be to be together.
The defense of Combs argues that it is “undisputed that he has no commercial motive and that all the adults involved were” and added that the men decided to travel voluntarily and to participate in the activity “.
“According to our level of knowledge, Mr. Combs is the only person who has ever been convicted of violating the law about behavior,” says the registration.
Both of the Government's Alleged Victims-Former Girlfriends Ventura and the WoMHO testified under the pseudonym “Jane”-testified that they did not want to have sex with other men, telling the jury repeatedly that although they Did Engage in the Drug- fueled “freak-offs,” Sexual Encounters Were facilitated by Combs and they did not feel they had a choice, sent He controlled their careers and finances. Ventura said that she was afraid to say no to the inquiries from Combs to have sex with other men because he was often violent with her. The jury was submitted sufficient evidence of the violence of Combs to Ventura, including the hotel surveillance material from Ventura 2016, which was first published by CNN in May 2024.
Despite its graphic certificate, the jury did not condemn any comrades of sex trade.
“The verdict confirms that the women were not vulnerable or exploited or acted or acted sexually during the freaky offs or hotel evenings,” says the registration. “We are not aware of any other case in which a person under the man act was convicted.
“Sean Combs sits in prison, based on proof that he paid for adult male escorts and entertainers who have had mutually acceptable sexual activities with his former friends, which he recorded on video and later saw with the friends,” said later submission. “This is not prostitution, and if it is so, his conviction is unconstitutional.”
The Combs team argues that the “freak-off” video video-none parts have been viewed several times by the jury-no evidence of coercion or prostitution, but rather “amateur porn”.
“If the government presented by the government are taken into account in its entirety, Mr. Combs' amateur porn, like many other adult films, will be creatively, complicated and highly choreographed,” the registrations say. “The videos have expressive content accordingly and are protected by the first change.”
During the process, both women said that Combs would threaten to publish the sexually explicit videos he had recorded from them, and caused them to feel shame, embarrassment and fear.
Combs' application for a new negotiation or a full acquittal takes place in the same week in which his defense submitted another application to the judge to publish the rap -mogul from prison, this time with a 50 million bond before his conviction, citing similar Mann -Aact arguments, and claimed that he was neither a flouse nor a threat to the community. (The judge applied for the public prosecutor to answer this submission until the end of the day on Thursday.)
This application marked the recent attempt by Combs after the deposit after the judge had already contested his previous inquiries, citing his approved pattern of violent behaviors.
When Combs was released after his conviction against the deposit, numerous witnesses – including Ventura – wrote letters to the judge in which they would say that they would fear for their security if Combs did not stay in prison.
The conviction of Combs is currently set for October 3. Since his arrest in Manhattan in September 2024, he has taken place in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Haftzentrum.
