Diddy
Mock Jury Deliberates and Votes on Guilt

A mock jury of 12 people heard evidence for and against Diddy and voted his fate … and the results may surprise you.
The jury is part of a new documentary — “TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: His Defense” — available for free on Tubi.
Jurors heard the case the prosecution will present and the defense Diddy’s lawyers will mount, and then they retreated to a conference table where they argued the facts.
Some of the sticking points for jurors — whether prosecutors can prove Diddy made a profit off the activities alleged to constitute racketeering.
Jurors also argued over a key issue — consent. His accusers are 3 ex-girlfriends, and some jurors needed convincing that a consensual relationship could involve coercion.
And then there’s the issue of race. Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, says in the documentary this prosecution is an attempted takedown of a successful Black man. It’s an issue that resonated with some of the jurors.
Bottom line … if this jury is even remotely forecasting what will happen when Diddy goes to trial in May, it’s not going to be a slam dunk for the prosecution.
“TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: His Defense” is available free on Tubi.
