Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb’s defense in the high-profile criminal trial will start presenting their case on Tuesday, after Special Agent Joseph Cerciello wraps his testimony, the last for the prosecution.
As we have reported, the high-octane defense team headed by Marc Agnifilo has stated that they will only need two days to counter the more than six weeks of the prosecution’s case.
But now, we learn that they are not planning to call a single witness in his defense.
New York Post reported:
“Before the jury entered the room Monday morning, attorney Marc Agnifilo told the court that Combs’ legal team will instead introduce an array of trial evidence — which prosecutors have signed off on — into the court record.
The apparent decision to forgo calling witnesses is an about-face from Combs’ purported plan as of last week to call at least three witnesses: two Combs Enterprises employees and a psych expert.”
Combs’ Agnifilo: On scheduling, we agree to the US’ proposal, that summations start Thursday.
AUSA: Yes, our summary witness we now believe will go into tomorrow, unfortunately for him, then we understand the defense case will consist of reading in some exhibits— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) June 23, 2025
With that, closing arguments are expected to begin on Thursday.
“The jury is unlikely to start deliberating until Friday at the earliest, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyer, Teny Geragos, told the judge.
Geragos said the defense and the prosecution will each take a minimum of four hours to deliver closing arguments to the jury.”
Before the jury convenes for deliberations, Judge Arun Subramanian will decide on another Rule 29 motion (he denied the first), based on Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29, a defense request for a judgment of acquittal, arguing that the prosecution’s evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction.
Judge: So tomorrow, the cross then we’ll give the jurors a long break for the Rule 29 motion. If it’s denied, the defense should be ready to put on its case tomorrow. Closings?
