Per CNN, Diddy was found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution. However, he was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy “in a mixed verdict.”
After the verdict was read, the judge told the court:
“There is an important reason to respect the privacy of your deliberations. That being said, the choice of whether to speak to others about the case and your personal views is up to you.”
He then added:
“I want you to know that it is inspiring to all of us. You listened, you worked together, you were here every day, rain or shine. You did so with no reward, other than the reward that comes from answering the call of public service. That should give all of us hope.”

Furthermore, the prosecution noted that Diddy still faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison for his conviction on the prostitution charges. Ultimately, the judge asserted that he will decide on Diddy’s release today by considering letters received from both the prostitution and defense by 1 p.m. EST today.
