Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team argues that allowing alleged victims to testify anonymously would not only violate his constitutional rights but also risk “polluting the jury pool” by creating an atmosphere of presumed guilt. According to his attorneys, shielding the witnesses' identities implies they need protection from the defendant, which could unfairly prejudice jurors by suggesting Combs is dangerous or threatening. They emphasize that this portrayal undermines the presumption of innocence, a foundational principle of the justice system, and could sway jurors emotionally rather than allowing them to focus on factual evidence.

The defense also contends that the use of pseudonyms gives undue weight to the prosecution’s narrative, painting the accusers as inherently credible before their stories are even scrutinized under cross-examination. By cloaking them in anonymity, the jury may view them as more vulnerable or truthful than they would otherwise, especially in a high-profile case that’s already attracted intense media attention. Combs’ lawyers maintain that such courtroom tactics contribute to a media-fueled distortion of the trial, turning it into a spectacle rather than a fair legal proceeding. They argue that full transparency is essential to maintain a level playing field and ensure that jurors are not unconsciously influenced before hearing the full scope of the defense
