Diddy had a message for his family after dropping the most serious charges in his criminal trial… “I’m coming home.”
After the not guilty verdicts for racketeering and sex trafficking were announced in court Wednesday, Diddy turned around in his seat, nodded to his family, and promised to see them soon.
Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, was seated behind him in the gallery, along with his three daughters and sons Christian, Justin, and Quincy, as well as Dana Tran, the mother of his youngest child, and several extended family members.
When the jury note about reaching a verdict arrived, Diddy’s legal team appeared dissatisfied, while prosecutors smiled… but things changed rapidly.
Diddy was led out of the holding cell, beaming at his family… then burying his head in a book as the jury returned.

Diddy’s camp let out a huge sigh of relief as Count 1… the RICO accusation… ended with a “Not guilty” verdict.
The gallery yelped “Ohhhh” when Diddy was acquitted on the sex trafficking allegation for Cassie — Count 2 — Diddy began rubbing his eyes and resting his face in his hands.
There was no movement when Diddy was found guilty of Count 3… transportation for the purpose of prostitution involving Cassie.
Diddy fist-pumped from his seat after being acquitted of Count 4 — sex trafficking Jane.
After hearing all of the accusations — guilty on Count 5, Jane’s transportation for the purpose of prostitution — Justin Combs lowered his head in astonishment… Diddy raised his hands in prayer and mouthed “Thank you” to the jury, who did not react.
When Judge Arun Subramanian stated he presumed Diddy would not want to return to the Brooklyn jail where he has been held since his September arrest, Diddy forcefully shook his head “No” and placed his hands together in prayer once more.

Diddy’s defense and prosecutors debated whether he should be released from detention prior to sentencing… and when they were finished, Diddy got out of his chair, sank to the ground, got on his knees, placed his hands on his chair, and began praying.
Emotions flowed out of Diddy’s defense team as well; they hugged each other, and Diddy hugged Teny Geragos and his other attorneys. Teny was crying with delight. Marc Agnifilo, who made the final argument, was fired up, turning to the audience and exclaiming, “Yeah!!!”
Diddy’s family hugged, Dana began to cry, Christian performed a small dance in the hall, and the gallery erupted in cheers.
Prosecutors failed to prove their most serious charges against Diddy, but they did not appear depressed… and Maurene Comey, who delivered the final words to the jury before deliberations, smiled a little.
