Sean “Diddy” Combs on Thursday formally rejected the government’s offer to plead guilty and spare himself the possibility of a prolonged prison sentence.
“Yes I do, your honor,” Combs said after Judge Arun Subramanian asked him whether he rejected the offer federal prosecutors made.
Combs, 55, is scheduled to stand trial beginning Monday with jury selection on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and prostitution that allege he coerced women into prolonged sexual encounters he called “freak-offs.”
Only legally. If he was angling for a pardon the story would be he was a heroic innocent alpha male wrongly convicted by a woke liberal California court trying to silence him because of democrat feminism Obama.
Taking a plea deal doesn’t really change their bullshit explanation in any way. They’d just say that plea deals are how the woke left punishes the innocent without even needing a trial.
That actually is a stronger explanation honestly, it’s based on truth.
