In this filing, the government submits its proposed jury instructions, also known as “requests to charge,” ahead of Sean Combs’ upcoming trial. These instructions lay out how the jury should interpret the law as it applies to the charges in the Third Superseding Indictment, including conspiracy, racketeering (RICO), drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and related offenses. The government requests standard instructions on presumption of innocence, burden of proof, credibility of witnesses (including cooperating witnesses and law enforcement), and the meaning of reasonable doubt. Critically, it also asks the court to include specific legal definitions tied to each alleged crime—for example, the elements of a RICO enterprise and the requirements for proving participation in a drug distribution conspiracy.Furthermore, the government includes instructions regarding the consideration of co-conspirator statements, evidence of prior bad acts, and accomplice testimony, reflecting the sensitive and complex nature of the allegations against Combs. The proposed charges emphasize that the jury must evaluate the case based solely on the evidence presented, without speculation or bias, and that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. These instructions, if accepted by the judge, will guide the jury through the legal standards necessary to determine whether Combs is guilty on any or all of the multiple felony counts he faces. The submission underscores the government's intent to secure clear, legally sound guidance for the jury in what is expected to be a high-profile and multifaceted trial.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.275.0.pdf

In December 2024, LaTroya Grayson filed a $15 million lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging that she was drugged and sexually assaulted at one of his parties in New York City in October 2006. According to the complaint, Grayson's half-sibling won a contest through local radio station KJAMZ, which included an all-expenses-paid trip to New York to attend a "Diddy White Party." Upon arrival, the event had been rebranded as a "Black Party." Grayson claims that after consuming less than two premade drinks at the party, she began to feel unwell and attempted to go to the restroom. Her next memory was waking up at Saint Vincent's Medical Center with no recollection of how she arrived there, noticing her shirt was torn, her underwear missing, and her money stolen. She believes she was drugged, assaulted, and robbed. After returning to Oklahoma, Grayson allegedly received a threatening phone call from an anonymous female, warning her against pursuing any action due to Combs' celebrity status. The lawsuit includes supporting documents such as photos from the party and medical records.Combs' legal team has denied the allegations, stating that he "has never sexually assaulted anyone or engaged in sex trafficking." They emphasize that Grayson admits to having no memory of the events, does not know who was involved, and has never spoken to Combs, labeling her claims as "pure fiction." As of February 2025, Combs remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on separate charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution, to which he has pleaded not guilty.to contact me:[email protected]:grayson complaint
