Diddy Gets Forced Labor Evidence Taken Out In Upcoming Trial

Sean "Diddy" Combs can claim a slight legal victory ahead of his explosive trial set to take place next week after a judge ruled that a forced labor claim wouldn't be entered as evidence. Diddy's legal team initially requested that some evidence be put aside, but it appears that the sex trafficking evidence will be entered.




TMZ reports that Diddy's legal team's request to have certain portions of evidence exempt from the upcoming trial was denied in part, with the judge in the hearing stating that prosecutors would not be able to argue over the forced labor claim.




The defense added in their request that prosecutors turned over their evidence too late, thus not giving the defense enough time to devise a countering strategy. However, prosecutors fired back and said that Diddy's side had ample time and is attempting to hold up the trial.




Court documents reveal that prosecutors said that the request was "a transparent attempt to narrow the scope of the proof against him at trial by any means necessary, and to yet again make a last-ditch effort to secure an adjournment of trial."




Diddy's trial is set to begin on May 5.
