The Diddy trial: How Sean Combs's lawyers mounted a defense


Listen Later

After six weeks of intense testimony and cross-examination, the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs is coming to a close. This week, both the prosecution and defense rested their cases and delivered closing arguments. Soon the case will be in the jury’s hands.

Today, style reporter Anne Branigin gives us an update on the defense’s closing arguments, which will wrap up Friday. Then, court reporter Shayna Jacobs breaks down the potential strategy behind Combs’s minimal defense presentation earlier in the week, how prosecutors approached closing arguments and the possible outcomes once the case is handed over to the jury

Today’s show was produced by Peter Bresnan. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Carla Spartos.
