Did Diddy Tamper With Witnesses To Secure Not-Guilty Verdict

Description:
Two key witnesses were expected. Two never showed. And shortly after, the most serious charges—sex trafficking, racketeering, kidnapping, arson—quietly disappeared from the jury’s hands. Coincidence? Or something darker?

In this gripping episode, attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to tackle one of the most lingering, uncomfortable questions surrounding the Diddy verdict: Did Sean “Diddy” Combs tamper with witnesses to secure his not-guilty outcome?

We break down what we know about Victim #3 and Victim #5—two alleged survivors who were listed in pre-trial filings, referenced in jury prep, and reportedly prepped by the government… until they vanished. There was no testimony, no explanation, and no redirect. And in their absence, the case lost its teeth.

Eric explores:

  • What counts as witness tampering under federal law

  • Why tampering is notoriously hard to prove—even when it’s suspected

  • How fear, intimidation, or power imbalance can silence victims without leaving a trail

  • What prosecutors typically do to secure vulnerable witnesses—and why it might’ve failed here

We also examine what legal tools prosecutors have when witnesses back out mid-trial, and why jurors often interpret missing testimony as evidence that the government is hiding something—or that a case isn’t as strong as it seems.

Whether this was tampering, trauma, or trial mismanagement, one thing is clear: the absence of these witnesses dramatically altered the case’s trajectory. And for a man accused of orchestrating years of systemic abuse, silence may have been his most powerful ally.
