Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense team summarized its case today as attorney Marc Agnifilo said he hopes to complete his closing arguments in about three hours. While acknowledging physical abuse between Combs and Cassie Ventura, Agnifilo described their relationship as “a great modern love story.” The high-profile trial of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is nearing its end.

Sean "Diddy" Combs used "violence and fear" to run a criminal enterprise that allowed him to subject two former girlfriends to sex trafficking, a U.S. prosecutor said Thursday during closing arguments at the music mogul's trial. Prosecutor Christy Slavik told jurors that Combs "uses power, violence, and fear to get what he wants," adding, "He thought that his fame, wealth, and power put him above the law." Slavik cited Ventura Fine’s alleged involvement in several of Combs' so-called "freak offs" as an example of the coercion he used during sexual encounters. Prosecutors argue Combs operated a criminal enterprise under a "climate of fear." The jury is expected to begin deliberations late Friday or Monday. Some observers say the trial has shifted from a question of whether Combs committed the acts to whether he will be held accountable Joining Nancy Grace today, Joshua Ritter - Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Prosecutor, Host of "Courtroom Confidential" on YouTube; website: joshuaritter.com; Twitter, Instagram & TikTok: @joshuaritteresq, YouTube: CRConfidential Dr. Bethany Marshall - Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker: When to work on a relationship and when to walk away” Also featured in hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock, www.drbethanymarshall.com , Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive Joseph Giacalone -) Former NYPD Sergeant SDS, Author: “ The Cold Case Handbook” and “The Criminal Investigative Function: A Guide for New Investigators”, Podcast host of "True Crime with the Sarge", YouTube: Joseph Giacalone, Twitter: @JoeGiacalone, www.josephGiacalone.com Lynn Shaw - Founder and Executive Director of Lynn's Warriors - an organization committed to ending human trafficking and sexual exploitation,  Host of Lynn's Warriors on YouTube, website: lynnswarrior.org,  X: @lynns_warriors, YouTube: @LynnsWarriors Tisa Tells - Pop Culture Investigator & Commentator and Host of 'Tisa Tells' on Youtube, Instagram & TikTok: @TisaTellss, Facebook: Tisa.Tells.3 Lauren Conlin - Podcaster/Reporter/Host- Co-Host of "PopCrimeTV" on YouTube, Website: www.popcrime.tv and primetimecrimeshow.com, X- @Conlin_Lauren, Instagram: @LaurenEmilyConlin, YouTube: @PopCrimeTV Sydney Sumner - 'Crime Stories'  Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This unexpected development comes just one day after Diddy addressed the court for the first time, telling Judge Arun Subramanian that he would not take the stand in his own defense.
