Diddy will remain behind bars until potential October sentencing despite partial acquittal, with his lawyer revealing plans to join a batterers program after release.
Sean « Diddy » Combs reportedly received a standing ovation from his fellow inmates after being acquitted on the most serious charges brought against him 10 months ago.
After hearing seven weeks of testimony from prosecution witnesses, Diddy’s jury returned three not-guilty verdicts. The group of 12 originally announced they were deadlocked on the racketeering conspiracy charge, but later chose to acquit the rapper.
Diddy returned to a standing ovation at MDC Brooklyn after the verdicts were read, according to his defense lawyer, Marc Agnifilo.
« They all said: ‘We never get to see anyone who beats the government,’ » Agnifilo told The Associated Press.
