Given the images of law enforcement raids that we saw at Mr. Combs’ residence earlier in the spring, it should not surprise anyone that he has been indicted on certain charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering. The timing raises questions about whether there is some orchestration between the defendant himself and government authorities in a broader investigation. Time will tell.
The indictment signals that law enforcement has concluded most aspects of its investigation of Mr. Combs’ activities. It will now be for defense lawyers to use pretrial procedural tools as well as the trial system if they choose, in an effort to best help Mr. Combs address the situation so that he can avoid criminal liability totally, or, at the very least, avoid exceptionally harsh sentencing.
