Defense Rests in Under 30 Minutes as Diddy’s Trial Nears the End After nearly five weeks of testimony, the prosecution officially rested its case against Sean “Diddy” Combs—followed almost immediately by a brisk, confident move from the defense to do the same. No witnesses. No surprises. Just a few spicy texts and a motion to dismiss all charges. The defense, clearly betting the jury’s already made up its mind, kept it tight. Jurors were shown more messages contradicting Jane’s claims that she only interacted with escorts under duress. One exchange revealed she asked a sex worker named Sly to visit her privately during the holidays—Diddy nowhere in sight. Another introduced a new escort named Leo and included texts of Jane eagerly planning their tryst. The defense argued this proved Jane was not coerced, but actively enjoying the lifestyle. Cassie’s texts also resurfaced, including one where she said freak-off nights were fun even when they weren’t “super hot.” The defense used these final messages to hammer their central point: this was consensual debauchery—not organized crime. Now, with closing arguments set to begin Thursday and Friday, the jury could get the case by Monday. And if the defense is right, a verdict might not take long.
