I can’t say I followed the “Diddy” trial closely, but as I got interested toward the end, I had trouble understanding how he was supposed to be guilty of racketeering for being a horrendous, abusive boss, or sex trafficking for grotesquely manipulating and physically abusing his girlfriends who engaged in depraved sex acts for his pleasure. On the other hand, he was obviously guilty of the prostitution charges. So the mixed verdict — guilty of transportation for purposes of prosecution, and not guilty on the others — strikes me as probably correct and certainly defensible. But there is no doubt that the prosecution established that this guy is a degenerate and a monster — a truly disgusting freak no one with any self-respect should have anything to do with.
