Sean “Diddy” Combs officially turned down a potential plea deal in front of a judge in court at the final hearing before his highly anticipated federal sex-crimes trial.
Combs’ attorneys and federal prosecutors met with Judge Arun Subramanian on May 1 at a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan for one last pretrial conference, days before the hip-hop mogul’s trial kicks off May 5.
Still up in the air are decisions about which expert witnesses will be allowed to testify during the trial, the jury questionnaire, as well as Combs’ rejection of an apparent plea deal and other outstanding questions.
Combs was arrested in September and subsequently charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all five counts.
