Sean “Diddy” Combs was convicted of prostitution-related offenses but acquitted Wednesday of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put one of hip-hop’s most celebrated figures behind bars for life.

I think they focused on the wrong stuff. The went all in on coercion, but that’s hard to prove when the person keeps doing it. They also tried to use debauchery laws, which are ridiculous and subjective.
I’m sure he’s guilty of tax evasion! Too bad the IRS all got fired! /s
