Diddy Acquitted of Racketeering, Guilty on Two Counts

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was acquitted by a federal jury of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The jury deliberated for 13 hours, ultimately rejecting the prosecution's claim that Combs ran a criminal syndicate or forced non-consensual acts involving ex-girlfriends. Combs, who did not testify, faces a maximum of 20 years in prison but could receive a lighter sentence, with his legal team seeking his release on bail before sentencing. The verdict prompted emotional displays and celebration from Combs' family in the courtroom. Combs was seen kneeling in prayer and thanking the jury after the decision. Sentencing is expected in the coming months, pending a judge's decision on bail.
