Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs has reportedly been warned that testifying in his upcoming sex trafficking and racketeering trial could potentially cause him "more harm than good." The 54-year-old founder of Bad Boy Records is currently behind bars at the Metropolitian Dentention Center in New York , after being denied bail following his recent arrest by federal agents. He's facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution purposes.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Meesha Moulton from Meesha Moulton Law has now told Page Six that it would be a "bold" move for Diddy to testify during his impending trial, which is set to start after October. Six celebrities that have been outspoken after Diddy's bombshell arrest and charges Beyoncé fans demand answers over her relationship with Diddy after his disturbing arrest She explained: "There is a reason that attorneys typically advise their clients not to take the stand in their own trial testifying in one's own trial opens up the defendant to cross-examination from the prosecution.
" The lawyer further pointed out that the "mentally gruelling" process of cross-examination could be "relentless in trying to find inconsistencies in his statements" and "getting him to admit to things," which she suggested could be "damaging" to his defense. She continued: "If Diddy becomes flustered or frustrated, taking the stand will do more harm for him than good. This level of scrutiny is very emotiona.
