Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering in a federal trial that played out in headlines, and found guilty on lesser prostitution charges. What are your thoughts?

They overcharged him. In the end, consent played an important role. Cassie, having no “boundaries,” gave her consent out of “love.” She admitted that on the stand, under oath, and all the others consented on a level. He was wrong, though. Curious to see who he becomes. He’s got time to think about that until October.

There are many lessons to be learned here: 1. When called for jury duty, go and take it seriously. 2. Talk to your daughters about not allowing a glamorous lifestyle to overshadow their boundaries. 3. Talk to your sons about how to respect women. 4. Stop putting athletes and entertainers on pedestals.

It’s not for us to judge. All have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord

It should have been total acquittal.

This was the longest prostitution trial I have ever seen. And the most expensive one too. From the beginning to the end, it was all about prostitution, not RICO.
