abcnews.go.com 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.
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.
- 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."
did you know he also facilitated the takeover twitter by musk, he also partially funded the purchase.
Shake ya tail feather!
