Diddy on Trial - Prosecutor tells jury it is time for Diddy to face justice

The lawyers for the prosecution have told the jury that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is the ‘leader of a criminal enterprise’ who used violence and fear in ‘brutal crimes’.

At the end of the prosecution’s closing arguments, Assistant US Attorney Christy Slavik said to jurors that it was time to hold Diddy accountable and for him to face justice.

On Friday, the defence will present their closing arguments to the jury.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to BBC New York correspondent Nada Tawfik about the day in court, plus criminal defence attorney Shaun Kent analyses the cases put forward by both sides in the trial.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on trial in New York, facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.

The Diddy on Trial podcast is here to investigate the rumours, confront the theories, and give you the answers that you need.
