Today, U.S. government prosecutor Christy Slavik delivered closing arguments to the jury. Slavik, who addressed jurors for nearly five hours, painted a scathing portrait of Diddy, casting the defendant as “the leader of a criminal enterprise” who did “not take no for an answer” and “used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted.”
“It was his kingdom,” Slavik said. “Everyone was there to serve him.”
In painstaking detail, Slavik walked the 12-person panel through the federal government’s three charges against Diddy. She asserted that the evidence, when tied together, showed beyond a reasonable doubt that the music mogul was guilty of one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
