Whelp, Sean “Diddy” Combs has been dealt another major legal blow after Judge Arun Subramanian denied his request for a new trial or an acquittal ahead of sentencing. The decision, issued Tuesday, September 30, dismissed arguments from Combs’ legal team that his convictions violated constitutional rights. His lawyers, which TBH are an all star team, claimed prosecutors had persuaded jurors to convict solely because Combs arranged for women or paid escorts to cross state lines for sex.
