'I'm a little nervous': P. Diddy's first words at the start of his high-tension trial
The trial of Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy, opened in New York City this Monday amid a tense atmosphere. The first act of this historic confrontation, jury selection, turned into a veritable legal conundrum.
By Anaïs Maquiné-Denecker, correspondent in Los Angeles (United States)A short walk from Penn Station, in the impersonal courtroom of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, a once-iconic music icon enters the stage, his face tense behind dark glasses. Sean "Diddy" Combs, akaP.Diddy , 55, wearing a dark sweater over a crisp white shirt, his salt-and-pepper goatee neatly trimmed, smiles tightly as he shakes hands with his lawyers.
On this rainy Monday morning, the disgraced tycoon faces federal justice to answer extremely serious charges , including: sex trafficking, conspiracy to commit racketeering, and exploitation of prostitution. Escorted from the Brooklyn detention center where he is incarcerated, P. Diddy continues to deny the charges against him. His refusal to plead guilty exposes him to the risk of spending the rest of his life in prison.
