Months before Sean “Diddy” Combs ” provided a conviction for the two counts of which he was found guilty in his recently concluded federal criminal trial, the rap -party legal team has filed a long preemptive memorandum to ask him for his acquittal or that there is a brand new lawsuit for him.
The incarcerated rap icon team filed the 64 -page note on Wednesday evening. He noted that Combs was only sentenced to two counts under the Mann law and that despite the statements of the Ministry of Justice according to which he led a criminal enterprise for more than 20 years through his various companies, the jury rejected the accusations of racketeering and the accusations that he engaged in sexual traffic. Now his defense team calls for the application of the Mann law in the circumstances of “unprecedented” combits.
“Since the government arrested Sean Combs last September, he painted it as a monster,” said the memo. “The government has told the jury that he should condemn as long as Mr. Combs had organized himself for a longtime girlfriend or an escort or an artist paid to travel through states to meet and have sex. And that’s all that the jury condemned him.
Combs had no commercial reason in the orchestration of his “freak-off” parts with two of his friends and several male workers committed, who were transported by plane in various places in a period of 20 years which was the accusation of the DOJ of the rap star, the lawyers, adding that all the sex marathons fueled by the drug recorded through, were adults.
“Men have chosen to travel and voluntarily engage in activity. “We do not know any other cases in which a person has been condemned under 18 USC §2421 (a) even if he has made no money from” prostitution “, did not have sex with alleged prostitutes and did not arrange” transport “with the intention of committing sexual assault.”
In the note sent to the United States District Court of the South New York District, the defend of Combs maintains that the Mann law should be interpreted closely by the court in the case. It is because, according to them, the Mann law does not define the term “prostitution”; The interpretation of the conduct of Combs during “freak-off” events, leads to “serious constitutional problems”.
“If Mr. Combs had been charged only with two prostitution leaders of the Mann law, this would have been a completely different trial,” said the file.
Lawyers are also so daring that to declare that “freak-off” videos constitute works of art.
“When considered in its entirety, the evidence presented by the government clearly indicates that Mr. Combs amateur porn, like many other films for adults, was creative, complex and very choreographed,” said a Combs lawyer. “Videos therefore have expressive content and are protected by the first amendment.”
Lawyers ask that the comb be acquitted from transport to engage in the number of prostitution; If the court refuses this request, he requests a new trial for his client.
“If this court refuses to pay him from these accusations,” said the memo, “he deserves at least a new trial focused only on these accusations – a new trial without trucks of otherwise inadmissible and inflammatory evidence.” The file continues to justify a new trial “due to the overflow damages from evidence which would have been inadmissible if the number of law on Mann had been tried alone.”
This memorandum to launch the accusations is only the last strategy that the team that Combs launched before the Federal Court the Metropolitan Correction Center in Brooklyn. The magnate has been hosted there since its arrest in September, having been tried at high risk and therefore refused the deposit by three judges before its trial. His legal team recently asked for his release on an $ 50 million obligation, which would include a home confinement scenario. Aron Subramanian judge, who oversees the case, has not yet responded to this request; By refusing to combines on bail on the day of his de -fission verdict, he noted a provision in transport to engage in the prostitution law which, according to the judge, presumes detention.
The Ministry of Justice, the day he lost most of his case against Combs, said that he would look for a heavy sentence for the rapper, who is accused of having cut via a bridge pot of $ 100,000 an attack on his girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel in Los Angeles; The video of the heartbreaking incident became viral after its publication by CNN and made combits a known domestic aggressor in the eyes of many before the trial. The rapper apologized for violent acts, calling them “inexcusable” and adding that he had taken “my entire responsibility” for them.
The comb is ready for determining the sentence on October 3. He could face everything that is served at a maximum of 20 years in prison.
