In this opinion and order, Judge Arun Subramanian of the Southern District of New York addressed post-trial motions filed by Sean “Diddy” Combs following his conviction on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act. After an eight-week trial, the jury found Combs guilty, but before the government rested its case, his defense filed a motion for acquittal under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29, arguing insufficient evidence. The court deferred its ruling at that time and allowed the trial to continue.
Following the guilty verdict, Combs renewed his motion for acquittal and separately filed a motion for a new trial under Rule 33, seeking to overturn the jury’s decision or secure a retrial. Judge Subramanian reviewed both motions and found no basis to disturb the verdict. The court concluded that the government presented sufficient evidence for a rational jury to convict and that no errors occurred warranting a new trial. Accordingly, both motions were denied, upholding Combs’s conviction on both counts.
