Combs confirms decision not to testify, thanks judge
Combs confirms decision not to testify, thanks judge
Judge Arun Subramanian is now conducting the allocution of Sean “Diddy” Combs about his decision not to testify in his defense.
Subramanian asked Combs how he’s feeling.
Combs said, “I’m doing great, your honor. I’ve been wanting to tell you thank you, you’re doing an excellent job.”
The judge, chuckling, said, “Thank you, I appreciate it.”
Subramanian asked Combs if he understood that he had the right not to testify, and no one can draw any inference if he doesn’t. “Yes, your honor,” Combs responded twice.
The judge asked if he had discussed with his lawyers whether or not he should testify.
“Yes, thoroughly,” Combs responded.
Subramanian asked if it was his decision not to testify in this case.
“That is my decision, your honor,” Combs said.
“That is solely my decision,” he followed up before adding, “I mean, it’s my decision with my lawyers.”
The judge asked him if he understood that it was his decision to make.
“Yes, my decision, I’m making it,” Combs said.
The parties are taking a 15-minute break. Afterward, the defense will present its brief case before adjourning for the day.
