Judge Rebukes Diddy Lawyer for Racial Remarks During Trial

The judge overseeing Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial in Manhattan reprimanded attorney Mark Geragos, who is associated with Combs' legal team, for referring to the prosecution as 'a six-pack of white women' on his podcast. Judge Arun Subramanian called the remark 'outrageous' and stated that such comments would not be tolerated in any court nationwide. Geragos defended his statement as an observation about the racial dynamics of the case, arguing that Combs feels targeted because he is Black. However, the official defense team has agreed not to pursue arguments of selective prosecution based on race or reference uncharged white public figures. Geragos, while not officially part of Combs' defense team, is working with Combs' mother and maintains frequent contact with the rapper. The judge concluded by warning Geragos to be mindful of his public statements regarding the trial.
