Jennifer Lopez Could Testify in Diddy Trial over 1999 Shooting

Jennifer Lopez may be drawn into Sean 'Diddy' Combs's upcoming sex trafficking and racketeering trial as prosecutors seek to introduce evidence from the 1999 Club New York shooting, an incident in which both Lopez and Diddy were arrested but Lopez was never charged. Prosecutors argue that the nightclub shooting, which left three injured, is relevant to the current case, while Diddy's defense claims introducing such incidents would unfairly prejudice the jury and distract from the present charges. Diddy faces five federal charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, to which he has pleaded not guilty. His legal team is also seeking to exclude video evidence of his alleged assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, asserting it is unauthenticated and misleading. The trial is scheduled to begin in May, with Diddy's attorneys making last-minute motions to limit the evidence presented to the jury. The outcome may hinge in part on whether the court allows references to Lopez and the 1999 incident during proceedings.
