Diddy Attributes Drug Issues as Judge Approves Violent Video for Upcoming Trial

Sean "Diddy" Combs intends to claim that substance abuse hindered his ability to form criminal intent, a defense prosecutors swiftly oppose before his impending federal trial. His legal team will summon a Columbia University professor regarding his alleged impaired mental state, but prosecutors argue the testimony lacks relevance and proper notice, as the professor hasn't evaluated him directly. Furthermore, Judge Arun Subramanian permitted surveillance footage depicting Diddy's purported assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie. Jury selection begins May 5, with Diddy’s attorneys submitting probing questions about drug use and celebrity culture.
