Diddy Information Movement for Acquittal or New Trial, Says Mann Act Would not Apply to Him

Diddy desires his conviction on 2 counts of the Mann Act overturned, and if not, he is demanding a complete new trial on these costs … in line with new docs filed late Wednesday night time.

It is fairly beautiful, however within the docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy and his protection crew make the case for Decide Arun Subramanian altering the Mann Act conviction to an acquittal. Here is why … the Mann Act entails transporting somebody throughout state strains for the aim of intercourse.

However, Diddy’s crew says they consider he is the one particular person ever convicted beneath this statute who didn’t become profitable off prostitution, didn’t have intercourse with an alleged prostitute and didn’t organize the prostitute’s transportation.

Translation: he is carried out not one of the issues spelled out within the Mann Act. Keep in mind, throughout the trial, not one of the intercourse employees, nor Cassie Ventura or “Jane” testified Diddy engaged in intercourse with the intercourse employees. All of them stated he was both watching and/or recording the freak-off periods as the ladies had intercourse with the employed weapons.

Testimony additionally revealed it was usually the ladies, not Diddy, who made all of the preparations — journey, compensation and motels — for the intercourse employees concerned within the freak-offs.

Now, Diddy additionally says the male intercourse employees they employed weren’t solely consenting, however they “loved the actions and had friendships with [Cassie and “Jane”] and weren’t merely touring to have intercourse for cash.”

In different phrases … they have been all good buddies. We’re undecided how a lot of a distinction that may make, legally talking, however there it’s.

Lastly, Diddy says the freak-offs have been protected beneath the First Modification, as a result of they have been recording, or as they put it within the docs … “producing newbie pornography for later non-public viewing.”

Now, if the court docket doesn’t overturn his Mann Act convictions — counts 3 and 5 within the federal indictment — Diddy’s protection says he deserves a brand new trial, the place solely proof associated to these counts is admitted. Particularly, his attorneys say that might exclude the Cassie beating video.

In response to the docs, that proof was solely admitted in his trial due to the RICO and intercourse trafficking costs — of which he is been acquitted — and if Diddy have been solely dealing with the Mann Act costs, the notorious Intercontinental Lodge footage would not be related … and would solely be “unfairly prejudicial.”

Diddy’s authorized energy transfer right here comes on the heels of TMZ breaking the story … President Trump is already contemplating a pardon for Diddy, and will decide as quickly because the choose decides on Diddy’s newest movement to be launched on bail forward of his October sentencing.
