NEW YORK — After weeks of painstaking testimony in the high-profile trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs , legal teams will enter a pivotal moment of the proceedings Thursday as they deliver closing arguments.Both sides have said their climactic summations will last several hours each, as the fate of the once-powerful music mogul hangs in the balance.
Combs opted against testifying on his own behalf, a common strategy of defense teams who are not required to prove innocence, only to cast doubt on government allegations of guilt.The government's evidence included thousands of pages of phone and text records, and hours of testimony involved meticulous readings of some of the most explicit and wrenching exchanges.Many of those records appear to indicate distress on the part of the alleged victims.
