Sean “Diddy” Combs looked distant in court on Wednesday. He kept one AirPod in. His head stayed down. He didn’t say much. His sons, Quincy and Justin, sat nearby. Both looked half-asleep. Most of the courtroom did. But outside the silence, big moves were being made. The trial is reaching its final act.
The jury had the day off. But lawyers didn’t. Prosecutors and Diddy’s defense team met with the judge. They laid out the plan for closing arguments. The clock is now ticking. Final statements are set to begin Thursday morning. Prosecutors will take the lead.
They’ll speak for four hours total. Two hours before lunch. Two hours after. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik will deliver the closing. That surprised some observers. Most expected Maurene Comey to handle it. She’s popular for high-stakes closings. But Slavik will be the one to wrap the government’s case.
Diddy’s team takes the floor Friday. Co-lead defense attorney Marc Agnifilo will speak. He asked for three hours to present his closing. He’s expected to hit hard. He’ll try to poke holes in the government’s narrative. After he’s done, prosecutors get one last word. A one-hour rebuttal.
Prosecutors Set To Make Final Pitch As Jury Decision Looms On Diddy Case
There’s now tension over timing. The judge isn’t sure the jury will get the case by Friday. July 4th is just days away. The court will remain closed next week. If things run long, jurors may not begin deliberating until after the holiday.

Inside the courtroom Wednesday, nothing dramatic happened. No testimony. No jury. Just legal housekeeping. But the atmosphere is shifting. Everyone knows what’s coming. The lawyers are preparing their final moves. The jury is getting ready to decide. And Diddy? He just sat there. Quiet. Still. Focused. Or maybe just exhausted.
His sons seemed restless. They fidgeted in their seats. Their eyes drifted shut at times. Much of the gallery looked the same. But beneath the slow afternoon was a ticking clock. Months of testimony, evidence, and courtroom drama are about to be boiled down into a few final hours.
The closings will decide what the jury remembers most. They’ll shape the narrative. Each side will frame the story in their favor. The stakes couldn’t be higher. For prosecutors, it’s about sealing the case. For Diddy’s team, it’s about planting doubt.
Once the closings are done, the jury will begin its work. Whether that happens Friday or Monday remains to be seen. But either way, a verdict is near. And when it comes, it will land hard. Diddy’s future hangs in the balance. Every word spoken over the next two days could tip the scale.
