Diddy's Mistrial Bid Rejected: Judge Sides with Prosecution

Diddy's Mistrial Request Denied: Judge Rules Cross-Examination Sufficient NEW YORK, NY – In a significant development in the ongoing Sean "Diddy" Combs trial, a judge has denied the defense team's second request for a mistrial. The request was prompted by testimony from Bryana Bongolan, a friend of Cassie Ventura, who alleged that Combs had dangled her from a 17-story balcony. "The judge stated that the cross-examination was so vigorous that it didn't prejudice the jury," reported CNN correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister. The defense presented hotel records from the Trump Hotel in New York City, showing Combs was not in Los Angeles on the date Bongolan claimed the incident occurred. The judge's decision underscores the strength of the prosecution's case and the effectiveness of their cross-examination strategy. While the defense argued that Bongolan's testimony was false and damaging, the judge ultimately ruled that any potential prejudice was mitigated by the thorough questioning. The trial continues.
