Day 39 of 39

The jury returned unanimous verdicts, and the court denied Sean Combs's request for release pending sentencing while directing the parties to propose an expedited sentencing schedule.

Full day summary

The jury returned unanimous not-guilty verdicts on racketeering conspiracy and the two sex-trafficking counts, and guilty verdicts on both Mann Act transportation counts involving Casandra Ventura and Jane. After each juror confirmed the verdict, the court discharged the jury. The court later denied Sean Combs's request for release pending sentencing, finding mandatory detention applied and that he had not shown he posed no danger or that exceptional circumstances warranted release. The parties were directed to consult with probation and submit a proposed expedited sentencing schedule by July 8.
