Sean Combs was acquitted of three out of five criminal charges in federal court. Despite the jury's partial verdict, serious allegations remained, including racketeering conspiracy. His bail request was denied, extending his stay at MDC in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Emotions ran high after the verdict announcement, with Combs visibly thanking the jury. His family maintained a stoic demeanor, but earlier smiles indicated relief. While supporters celebrated outside the courthouse, critics reflected on Combs' complicated legacy. His defense attorney remarked that there is still more to fight for in this legal battle.
The gravity of the moment hit the music mogul as he awaited his fate. A seven-week trial would all come down to this, and that brought Combs to his knees as was seen in court sketches.
Prosecutors had serious charges against Combs that could have landed him in prison for the rest of his life, specifically racketeering conspiracy, that left a jury only with a partial verdict Tuesday night.
Outside the federal courthouse, droves of supporters celebrated. Even some critics flooded Pearl Street, reflecting on what some view as a tarnished legacy for the music mogul.
"We are not done fighting," said Marc Agnifilo, defense attorney, "We are just getting started."
