Sean 'Diddy' Combs rejects plea deal ahead of sex trafficking trial
Sean "Diddy" Combs on Thursday formally rejected the government's offer to plead guilty and spare himself the possibility of a prolonged prison sentence.
"Yes I do, your honor," Combs said after Judge Arun Subramanian asked him whether he rejected the offer federal prosecutors made.
Combs, 55, is scheduled to stand trial beginning Monday with jury selection on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and prostitution that allege he coerced women into prolonged sexual encounters he called "freak-offs."

Angling for a pardon from fellow rapist Trump.
Considering the point of this regime is to destroy our trust in democracy and justice, I’m anticipating just that.
A reminder that accepting a pardon is admitting guilt.
Faster to take the plea deal then pardon.
Only legally. If he was angling for a pardon the story would be he was a heroic innocent alpha male wrongly convicted by a woke liberal California court trying to silence him because of democrat feminism Obama.
Taking a plea deal doesn't really change their bullshit explanation in any way. They'd just say that plea deals are how the woke left punishes the innocent without even needing a trial.
That actually is a stronger explanation honestly, it's based on truth.
What's his play here? Is he hoping star power will sway the jury?
He's hoping to purchase a pardon like Lil Wayne.
Yeah but wasn't his for a gun charge instead of being a fucking rapist.
Correct. Same for Kodak black I think. Doesn't matter to trump, he'll sign anything his people give him
That's the first time I noticed that this is Jason Bateman on the right... How could I miss that all those years?
I guess you were not a serious fan of ESPN 8, "The Ocho."
Those are words... I think. I think it never made it quite to Europe, I only know the meme.
The gif is from a movie called dodgeball
Ah, okay the only time I saw that movie I was high as a kite, that explains why I don't recall.
did you know he also facilitated the takeover twitter by musk, he also partially funded the purchase.
What is the click bait here? To make you think Diddy was rejecting a plea deal? I'm confused
Particularly when you're filthy rich and you can afford to pay expensive lawyers to delay trials, stretch things out, and avoid consequences.
Just because its normal doesnt mean there should be reportings of it
Shake ya tail feather!
