Diddy
My Trial Is Gonna Be Biblical
Published
Diddy looks like he’s leaning on his faith as he goes on federal trial for sex trafficking … because he was reading from the Holy Bible in court.
The Bad Boy Records founder had a Bible at his table Monday and was reading scriptures before opening statements from the prosecution and his defense team … according to folks in the courtroom.
Diddy had a lot of family supporting him, including a bunch of his kids, and the Combs family looked stoic as federal prosecutors laid out their case against him … with the fam showing no emotion whatsoever.
Wearing a sweater over a collared shirt, Diddy hardly moved as the prosecution addressed the jury … he fidgeted his feet a bit and had a blank stare.
One of Diddy’s defense attorneys, Teny Geragos, handled the opening statement … and a couple jurors appeared to nod off, resting their heads on their hands. Geragos was speaking right before lunch, and it seemed like jurors were getting tired and hungry.
Still, a couple jurors were taking tons of notes during Teny’s opening … and her father, famed defense attorney Mark Geragos, looked like a proud father as he watched her do her thing.
Teny’s husband was also in court … and they kissed in the cafeteria during the lunch break after her opening statement … with Teny ordering egg salad, sparkling water and salt and pepper chips.
Cassie‘s name came up a bunch in the openings, and her defense attorney, Douglas Wigdor, huddled with her husband, Alex Fine, in the cafeteria.
