Diddy jury reaches verdict on racketeering charge after prolonged deliberation

A jury in the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs has reached a verdict on the racketeering charge facing the hip-hop mogul.

On Tuesday, the 12 jurors reached a verdict on the charges relating to the sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura, transportation for prostitution of Ventura and others, sex trafficking of Jane, and transportation for prostitution of Jane and others.

    They did not, however, come to a verdict on Combs’s racketeering conspiracy which was reached on Wednesday.

    If found guilty, the hip-hop mogul could now face a life sentence in federal prison.

    Racketeering conspiracy, or directing an illegal enterprise under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (Rico), was created to take tackle mob bosses.

    After pleading not guilty during the case, Combs chose not to testify as his lawyers built their arguments for acquittal mostly through lengthy cross examinations of dozens of witnesses called by prosecutors, including some of Combs’ former employees who took the witness stand reluctantly only after being granted immunity.

    Combs was joined by his mother and children on Wednesday ahead of the verdict, where they were seen praying together.

    This is a breaking story and will be updated.
