Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense team summarized its case today as attorney Marc Agnifilo said he hopes to complete his closing arguments in about three hours.

 While acknowledging physical abuse between Combs and Cassie Ventura, Agnifilo described their relationship as “a great modern love story.”

The high-profile trial of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is nearing its end. Combs is accused of sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy in a federal indictment originally filed in September 2024. He later faced two additional superseding indictments. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

DIDDY STRIKES BACK: STATE BRACES FOR DEFENSE CLOSING ARGUMENT

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a4ef3181-a2d6-47c2-9eae-b30500c77f65/transcript

Tonight, three women who crossed paths with the Horsch family, join our panel. Two went inside the home. One was a neighbor. Listen to their description of the inside of the home and the chemical smell that wafted throughout. 

Eugene Horsch's arrest after a traffic stop leads to an extensive investigation into missing women.  When he was taken into custody, police found him with fake Drug Enforcement Administration credentials, a switchblade, and two firearms with altered serial numbers.  His passenger was carrying a fake ID with the name of a missing woman, Blair Tonzelli. That is what led the searches of his home.

 Police and federal agents have recovered:


Over 600,000 images and 70,000 videos thought  that appear to show the bodies of two missing women — Maribel Fresses (last seen 2018) and Gabrielle Amarando (missing since 2012) 


Five urns believed to contain cremated remains, a home lab in the basement, and containers of unknown oily substances  


120 pieces of ballistic evidence, marijuana growing materials, and other suspicious items  

 Horsch has been charged with:


Firearms offenses


False federal credentials


Possession and possession with intent to deliver drugs

He is not charged with the women's disappearances.
