The prosecution came in hot. Multiple alleged victims. Years of accusations. A viral video of Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura. And yet—after weeks of testimony and mounting evidence—the jury said: guilty, but only on the lesser charges. So what exactly went wrong?

In this episode, we sit down with criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to dissect the unraveling of the federal government’s case against Diddy. Eric takes us inside the mechanics of a federal prosecution—what prosecutors aim to prove in sex trafficking and racketeering cases, how they structure witness timelines, and how those foundations can start to collapse when even one crucial piece goes missing.

We explore:

Eric also weighs in on whether the jury simply rejected the broader trafficking narrative—or if this was a case lost on strategy and execution, not evidence. Was the prosecution too fragmented in its approach? Did they fail to give jurors a cohesive “villain arc”? Or did they underestimate how a celebrity defendant and high-profile chaos could distort the courtroom dynamic?

If you watched this case and found yourself asking, “How does someone get convicted of transporting women for sex—but not for trafficking them?”—this breakdown pulls no punches.
