Sean “Diddy” Combs’s lawyers on Wednesday morning called for a mistrial in the hip-hop mogul’s federal racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking trial, alleging misconduct by prosecutors in the case – but their request was quickly denied by the judge.
Defense lawyers moved to have the case declared a mistrial by arguing that prosecutors had improperly suggested and implied through questioning that Combs was involved in the destruction of evidence tied to the investigation into rapper Scott Mescudi’s (also known as Kid Cudi) car being firebombed.
